When flowers come from the garden of the person you’ve lost, they mean even more.

One of the most touching tributes we’ve ever created included homegrown flowers from a gentleman’s own garden. His family brought them in, and we wove them into the arrangements. It was a quiet, powerful way to say goodbye - a tribute that truly reflected who he was.

For some families, flowers are deeply personal - a way to honour memories, passions, or personality. That’s where our bespoke service comes in. We’ll work with you to create something truly meaningful, however that looks for you.

For others, during a difficult time, ease is everything. That’s why we also offer a thoughtfully curated online collection of floral tributes - designed to bring comfort, clarity, and beauty, without overwhelm.

However you choose to say goodbye, we’re here to help make it just right for you and your family.

3 easy ways to bring a little Easter style into your home 👇

1️⃣ Start at the door – A spring wreath or a basket of bulbs on the doorstep sets the tone before guests even step inside. Easy, cheerful, and instantly welcoming.

2️⃣ Style your table the simple way – A vase of fresh flowers, candles (everywhere), and a few layered textures (think linen, rattan or glass) make your Easter table feel thoughtful - not overdone.

3️⃣ Take it outside – If the sunshine makes a guest appearance, don’t waste it! Layer up your outdoor table with storm lanterns, cosy blankets and spring planters for a relaxed but stylish setup that feels like a breath of fresh air.

Feeling inspired? We’ve got the flowers, candles, and all the seasonal extras to help.
