It is with the heaviest of hearts that we write this, but Willows Florist will no longer be trading with immediate effect 💔
After months and months of contemplating what the future holds for us here at Willows, we have no other option than to close our doors.
This is the LAST thing we ever wanted to do or even thought we would have to do!
Having our own flower shop for the last 9 years, doing what we love every single day and working with your best friend is everything we ever dreamed of but unfortunately due to numerous factors, out of our control, it is being forced to come to an end.
Due to the forever rising costs of running a small business, the cost of fresh flowers imported from Holland and with Supermarkets providing much cheaper flowers has made us realise that we are fighting a losing battle.
We completely understand the concept of convenience however, that doesn't pay our bills unfortunately.
Please believe us when we say we have tried everything!
We have changed suppliers multiple times to ensure we get the best quality for the best prices but it's still not enough.
We constantly get told we are the best around and it's so amazing to hear and it means so much to us, which is what makes this even harder.
With all this being said, we aren't fully ready to give the whole thing up just yet!
As it is who we are and what we love!
So therefore, we will still be taking on a handful of Weddings and events, working from home, whenever we have availability, just give us an email!
We will also hopefully be taking on a limited amount of orders for Valentine's and Mother's Day so keep an eye out on our social media nearer the time!
Finally, we would just like to thank each and every single customer that has ever set foot through our doors, from the bottom of our hearts for all your support over the past 9 years, we couldn't have done it without you guys!
It has been truly amazing to have had this experience, we feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to live out our dream, even if it was for a short time.....it was the best time! ❤️
Love to you all, The Willows Girls ###
