***Written by another florist, but couldn't have put it better myself***

The humble white chrysanthemum, the staple flower for a vast percentage of our floral tributes, used by florists far and wide for lettering, hearts, pillows, cushions, wreaths and countless bespoke designs.
This seemingly insignificant little bloom is currently the cause of much stress, anguish and worry throughout the florist community.
Why you ask? In the last few weeks, the cost price of this flower has increased by over 50%, it has more than tripled in the last year and it is increasing every day. Chrysanthemum, traditionally known as a ‘cheap’ flower is currently far out pricing premium flowers such as roses, lily and lisianthus (which has also doubled in price recently!).
We’re hearing reports that it is costing growers an average of £25,000 a day to heat and light their hothouses. Due to the rising energy costs some growers have gone out of business, some growers have turned off their hot houses halting production and those remaining few have had to pass their rising overheads on to us, their customers. The demand currently far outweighs supply which is affecting all colours and varieties of chrysanthemum and a lot of other flowers.
We have tried to keep our prices steady for as long as possible but in the face of it, we have no option but to raise them significantly otherwise we simply won’t have a viable business ourselves. We are looking at cost effective alternatives and will always guide you through the options as best we can. At the moment white hydrangea is looking like the best option although they all have a slightly fluffier finish. If you have any questions regarding this, any concerns or worries then please do get in touch, we’re always on hand to help where possible.

🌹 Happy Monday people! 🌹

I couldn't have written this better myself. Here's some flowers for thought, explained really well by a florist in Gravesend.

Flowers prices are at an all time high. The highest I've ever experienced in 20 years.

The Dutch auction seems to have priced itself out of the market. The blooms we could get our hands on easy and at decent cost has sky rocketted and have left us no alternative than to source our blooms from elsewhere. Sometimes as far as South America!🙈

Have a read 📚 😊

A very personal touch when it come to making these light up bottles for the Millane Family. If you followed the story, you'll know that Grace was murdered whilst on her round the world trip back in Dec 2018. Since Grace's death, her family have set up a charity in her memory called 'Love Grace'. They do wonderful things to help women who have suffered at the hands of men.

The drawing and the handwriting is Grace's own.

I managed to recreate it and then use glass paints for finishing 💙

***please note it's not always possible to recreate, but I'll always try and will immediately let you know. Please allow enough time for very personalised gifts to be made***
