THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH for all the love, support, kind words and joy that you all sent to me yesterday! You all filled me up so much that you made my day complete ; many, many memories came flooding back as I read through all your lovely comments and memories of your own weddings or your daughter's .

I couldn't pull up any more photos to that posting as it limits you to 80 I think; so I spent quite a while deleting some of them just so they would be published. I have hundreds more that I would love to share, but by now you will all be overloaded with my photos.

Again, I just want to say a huge thank you to all of you, I have loved each and every one of you and look forward to all the brides who are lined up ready to be married later this year . Can we just turn this heat down a little though please 😉 !!

I still have many openings for later in the year, if you are interested in my wedding flowers, then please do contact me : [email protected] or through Facebook, or simply call me 979-292-0370; you can also text me at the same number .

Sincerely and humbly,

Lesley

Here's just a few more from through the years , these make me smile 🥰

Today is the day that I celebrate 25 years as The English Florist !! 25 !! How is that even possible?? !!

My business was started with $183 and a big push from God !! He gave me this business, He built this business, He nudged a devoted Church family into buying me my first cooler that I would need here in Texas ( it's now 28 years old and still going strong ! ) He gave me the ability to create and use those talents for His glory. God has been the center of this business for all of these 25 years, allowing me to develop my passion and to serve this wonderful community for all those years; and for that I am truly grateful !!!

And here we are 25 years later; over a thousand brides married, hundreds of prom and belle dance bouquets created, and sadly also quite a lot of casket sprays for dear members of our Church family who have moved on to Glory.

My life has been exciting, exhausting, stressful and beautiful, filled with God's glorious flowers; each and every one added to the beauty of that very special day .

So many brides, so many lovely ladies, so many happy families that is has been my honour and pleasure to work with. I thank you all and am so totally honoured and humbled by your trust and loyalty as you come back year after year with your next daughter happily anticipating her weddding day. It truly is a blessing.

Having said all that, this is not the end... this is just a day , a milestone in my life that is usually marked by a big clock or a gold watch 😉; mine is marked by wonderful memories , a happy smile and a cleaning up day from last Friday's wedding 😆. I will treat myself to something , just for the memories sake , but my heart is for the Lord, and I give Him all the praise and Glory as this amazing day passes by; for without Him, I am nothing.

Gratefully, sincerely and humbly,

Lesley Trafford , the English Florist

A few more photos and memories from the past 25 years; I love and remember each and every wedding. I may not remember all your names if we ever meet, but I could probably tell you exactly what your wedding flowers were like !!! 😆🥰

05/22/2024

Next week will be a milestone in my business. It will be 25 years since I registered my name and became a wedding florist in Lake Jackson. 25 years !!! That is unbelievable, where does time go ??? It also means that I have been a part of over a thousand weddings !!! That too doesn't seem possible.

I'd like to share a few lovely moments over the next few days , bringing back memories and enjoying the days all over again.

Many, many grateful thanks to all you lovely ladies who have supported and trusted me on your very special day; I appreciate each and every one of you.

I’d love to share some of these lovely photos from yesterday’s wedding at Magnolia Manor at The Springs in Angleton. Their grand staircase is just beautiful and to see it covered in flowers like this was just breathtaking. I was honored to be able to do this for Brittney and Chris yesterday; I wish them both the best for a long and happy life together.

Sometimes we have a little trouble getting hold of some flowers for some unknown reason.. this photo out of Holland says a lot. All these boxes are full of one particular white flower for ONE customer !!!! Is it any wonder we have unexplained issues some weeks ;) Just thought you might like to see this... all these boxes are about 5' long by 18" wide, and I'll bet there are 20 bunches of flowers in each.

01/19/2024

SPRING is coming and plans are being made for your exciting wedding day !! Colors are changing and the 'pretties' are starting to bloom 😍❤. What will be your color choice for your flowers this year ???? Here's a little inspiration for you.....

What a stunning bride , Congratulations Mr and Mrs McCabe, I wish you every blessing and a long and happy life together.

POSTPONED due to inclement weather forecast for Tuesday.

Unfortunately The Springs have decided to postpone the Open house scheduled for Tuesday evening; the weather is not co-operating as we are forecast to have temps in the 20's, so this is the best option I feel.

The Open House will be happening probably the following week, but the date has yet to be set.

Sorry for any inconvenience and I hope we will see you very soon when the weather is more Texas like 😉😄

HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!! 2024 has arrived and YOUR wedding is suddenly on the calendar 🥰. Please give me a call or email if I can help you with your wedding flowers, it's one of the most important days of your life, and I would love to be a part of it.

This year, 2024, I will celebrate 25 years of being in business !! I am honored, humbled and sooo grateful to all you ladies who willingly trusted me with your wedding flowers; I thank you and treasure all of you. My 78k photos on my camera are a living memory of all your special days !!! :)

Thank you, thank you , thank you !! To God be the Glory, for without Him I am nothing.

Here's just a very few photos from last year ( that sounds such a long time ago doesn't it ?? ) We had a very big year for whites and greens, a very classical combination that is always in style.

What will 2024 bring ??? I think we are heading for a little more color :) What do you think ???
