We are now 98% full for 2025 - and 60% full for 2026. Please get in touch if you are looking for your wedding florist and would like a consultation.

30/06/2024

With so many couples getting in touch in the last couple of weeks for 2025 and 2026 we now only have 4 spaces available for 2025 before we are fully booked. We don’t just fill dates as that would mean we could potentially have 365 weddings a year and as I’m not super women by any stretch of the imagination I think that would be a near on impossible task 😍 #
We limited ourselves to a set number of weddings per year to make sure we can offer our full attention and deliver the best wedding flowers possible.
2026 is seeing lots of enquiries too and we have already had a few 2027 bookings 🌺

30/06/2024

Are you still looking for flowers for your wedding? Do you find it difficult booking appointments with suppliers at weekends and evenings?
We do evening appointments either by video or in our studio at a convenient time to yourselves.

** I have had a cancellation for an appointment this afternoon (Sunday 30th June) please send a message to snap this must sought after Sunday slot ❤️

❓Have you ever inadvertently forgotten to reply to a wedding supplier that you reached out to for information or a quotation?

I want ti be honest; of late, I’ve had so many colleagues in the wedding industry share their experiences of being ‘ghosted’ after responding to enquiries or providing quotes in the past few weeks.

🫶 Tonight, I’d like to gently remind everyone: if you’re reaching out to suppliers or indeed venues for information and quotes for your wedding, *please* don’t leave them in the dark. If the quote isn’t right for you, if you’ve chosen another supplier/venue, or if you’re not able or ready to commit or even if you’ve simply changed your mind — just let them know. It’s a sign of respect and courtesy during your wedding planning.

Remember, the suppliers you’re contacting are often small businesses for whom every client counts. The start of 2024 has been challenging for many in our field, and we’re all feeling the pinch from the cost of living and rising expenses. That’s why it’s vital for these entrepreneurs to be able to forecast their earnings accurately. It’s more than just courtesy; it’s essential for their sustainability — I can’t emphasise this enough.

If you’ve recently asked for a quote from any wedding service provider, please extend them the courtesy of a response once they get back to you. A simple acknowledgment like ‘Thank you, but we’ve decided to go in a different direction,’ or ‘Your work is wonderful, but unfortunately, it’s out of our budget at the moment,’ goes a long, long way. They will completely understand, I promise you.

Also, bear in mind that if another client is ready to book on the spot, a supplier may not be able to hold your date indefinitely.

It’s OK to say ‘No, thank you’ - but it’s really not OK to ghost. Let’s practice kindness and empathy towards the dedicated network of small, creative businesses in our wedding industry. No more ghosting, please! ❌👻

Sending much gratitude to all you lovers - thank you for your understanding 🙏🫶😘

Who doesn’t like a natural, country vibe especially when your venue is a barn or orangery. Adding clashes of colour works! Different textures adds interest to your designs and beautiful scented flowers creates a sense of calm and tranquility. #flowers #wedding #weddingflowers #flowersforweddings #weddingflorist #essexflorist #essexweddings #weddingcentrepiece #bohoweddings #venuedecor #weddinginpiration #rusticweddingdecor #summerwedding #springwedding #2022wedding #2023wedding #bridalflowers #londonweddings

Our Story

Caroline started her life as a florist at the age of 14, She was looking in the local shops for a Saturday Job - feeling a bit disheartened after being turned down in every shop she went into, she had one shop left - a florist shop, she nearly didn't bother to go in, but did and was offered a Saturday job straight away. She learnt from her mother that as a child she would pick the flowers from her Grandmothers garden at the age of 6 and make bunches of flowers to give out to the passing ladies over the garden gate.( Nothing changes! )

She loved working in the florist and decided to look for an apprenticeship in floristry for when she left school, In those days to go to college was very expensive and her parents couldn't afford to send her, so she got a job in another local florist to do a work place training apprenticeship. She was trained by a very experienced florist who had worked for Moyses Stevens - the Queens florist no less!!! After 4 years she became a fully qualified Florist and went on to become a senior florist in another local florist. Jump forward 10 Years and having 2 small children she decided that she would start teaching Floristry at College - She loved passing on her skills to willing students and had a pure sense of achievement when they gained distinctions in their exams.

Now in the year 2000 and marrying her now Husband Ivan, She had always dreamed of having her own shop but had never had the encouragement to go ahead. Ivan wanted her to fulfil her dream and was 100% behind her to find her shop. She found a small shop in Wickford which was so rotten the floor had disintegrated - Ivan worked day and night to fix it to the specifications Caroline wanted and opened Daisy Chain Florist in Wickford in November 2000.

After a few years, The florist trade started to take a hit when more people were buying flowers online and not from Florist Shops, She loved doing the Wedding Flowers and decided that the time had come to specialise in Wedding & Event Flowers, she didn't need a shop to do this and looked for a Barn to have as her studio, She decided that Daisy Chain didn't sound very weddingy, so she decided to name it The Orchid Room - as her late father loved Orchids it would be in honour of him ( He always encouraged her to be a florist when she was young, saying that Floristry won't be taken over by Robots!! Bless him!) He was right.
