Beautiful blooms and brilliant service

We were first introduced to Nicola through our wedding décor supplier, and from our very first meeting, we knew we were in safe hands.

Nicola was incredibly friendly, approachable, and passionate about bringing our vision to life. After our initial consultation, she created a beautiful vision board based on the styles, colours, and ideas we had discussed. This was such a helpful touch, as it allowed us to visualise how everything would come together and gave us confidence that she truly understood what we were hoping to achieve.

Throughout the planning process, Nicola kept in regular contact and was always available to answer questions or offer advice. We particularly appreciated her honesty and expertise. When my husband asked whether we had enough flowers planned, she gave a genuine and professional opinion rather than simply encouraging us to spend more. That level of honesty meant a great deal to us and reinforced how much she cared about creating the right look for our wedding, rather than just making a sale.

One thing we really valued was Nicola's focus on making the most of every arrangement. She suggested reusing flowers from our certificate signing table on our top table later in the day, ensuring the flowers could be enjoyed throughout the celebration rather than being used for only a short period. Her team stayed to reposition the arrangements for us, which was one less thing for us to think about on the day and demonstrated their commitment to going above and beyond.

The flowers themselves were absolutely beautiful and exceeded all of our expectations. Every arrangement was stunning and perfectly complemented our venue and colour scheme. It was also the little details that stood out, such as the magnetic clips for the buttonholes, which made them so much easier to wear and helped everything look perfect throughout the day. Nicola even assisted us with some rental items, providing support beyond what we expected from our florist.

From start to finish, Nicola and her team were an absolute pleasure to work with. Their creativity, professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care for their couples shine through in everything they do. We would wholeheartedly recommend Nicola to anyone looking for a florist who not only creates beautiful flowers but also goes the extra mile to make their wedding day special.

The most beautiful flowers for our special day

From our first discussions with Nicola, she filled us with confidence, and we did not doubt that the flowers for our wedding would be exactly what we wanted. Sitting down with her when first booked with her, she picked up very quickly on exactly what we were looking for and the examples she showed us of her previous work fitted what we wanted perfectly. On the day, we were absolutely blown away by how stunning the bouquets, buttonholes, and venue flowers were. So many of our guests said how beautiful all the flowers were too. Nicola's communication throughout was excellent - we booked just under two years before the day but Nicola ensured that she checked in with us throughout the two years so we never felt forgotten or that our special day wasn't important. Every time we spoke with Nicola, she was always so warm and friendly, and it was very obvious how much she enjoys what she does. We highly recommend Petals and Posies!

Wonderful flowers for a wonderful day!

We came to our first appointment with Nicola only knowing the names and colour of two flowers we wanted for the day and not much else, yet she really understood exactly the vibe we were going for and created the most classy and timeless florals for the bouquets and other decor. To do that with not much input from us was amazing. Everything was really organised and it was lovely to have such a trustworthy person to work with and not have to worry about anything on the day. Our florals were beautiful, so much more beautiful than we'd imagined and we highly recommend Petals & Posies to other couples!

10/10 wedding flowers & lawn games.

Gorgeous gorgeous flowers. Our wedding was made extra beautiful with the flower arrangements by Nicola. Nicola not only provided exactly what we wanted but an even better version. Nothing was too much of a trouble with us and her service was 10/10. The lawn games were such a hit too and so aesthetically pleasing for a wedding. The consolation process was so easy and smooth. Questions were only an email away. Not only were the flowers beyond stunning but Nicola is such a kind and wonderful supplier- I would gladly recommend her.

Petals and Posies were fantastic for our wedding flowers!

I HIGHLY recommend! Nicola has a beautiful professional home studio where I felt reassured and able to share my moodboards, ideas, and opinions openly and she obviously knew her stuff and could help with making any appropriate tweaks to our plans seamlessly. She maintained excellent, friendly communication throughout the process with us. There was no pressure whatsoever on choosing something over another and she provided a range of options for us to create the right mix for our budget. It was comforting to see a familiar smiling face turn up with the flower arrangements we had agreed on for our special day. The blooms were fresh, vibrant, stunning, and smelled divine. All our guests complimented the flowers and I was so happy to be around them on the day and treasure them afterwards. I am getting my bridal bouquet preserved in resin as a cherished memento and I am looking forward to getting that back! Thank you ever so much to Petals and Posies you really are superstars!! xXx

Blush pink wedding flowers

We couldn't have been happier with our wedding flowers. The pink floral arrangements were absolutely stunning and even more beautiful than we imagined. Every bouquet and display was fresh, elegant, and perfectly matched our vision.
What really stood out was the time they took to talk everything through with us during the planning process. They listened carefully to our ideas, offered helpful suggestions, and made us feel completely confident that everything would come together perfectly.
They also took care of moving the flowers between our ceremony and reception venues, allowing us to reuse the arrangements throughout the day. This was such a thoughtful touch and made the most of our flowers while creating a beautiful setting at both locations.
We received so many compliments on the flowers, and we would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a talented florist who genuinely cares about making your wedding day special.

Stunning florals

Petals and Posies provided our florals for our Wedding day in June 2026 and we couldn’t have been happier! From our very first conversation, Nicola took the time to understand our vision and brought it to life even more beautifully than we imagined. We chose a selection of flowers for the Bridal Party and a ‘long and low’ top table centre piece and every arrangement was absolutely stunning. The attention to detail, creativity, and quality of the blooms were exceptional, and everything looked fresh and perfect throughout the day.

Nicola was very professional, friendly and made such an effort to ensure that our florals for the day were perfect - it was easy to put trust in Nicola for our big day. We received many compliments on the flowers and we would highly recommend Petals and Posies to others - thank you so much!

Thank you so much Nicola.

My bridal bouquet was gorgeous, and I was pleasantly surprised by how beautiful and generously sized the bridesmaids’ bouquets were too. I didn’t expect them to be so big and elegant! The soft pastel colours were absolutely perfect and complemented our wedding theme beautifully.

The flower crowns for the flower girls were adorable, the buttonholes were lovely, and the flowers for our mums were such a special touch. Every arrangement was made with so much care and attention to detail.

We received so many compliments on the flowers throughout the day, and they looked amazing in our photographs. Thank you for helping make our wedding day so special and memorable. I would highly recommend your services to any future bride looking for stunning wedding flowers. 💐💕✨

Beautiful and outstanding wedding flowers

Our wedding flowers were amazing.. and we recieved so many flowers for our wedding. Nicola created all aspects of our wedding and even add an extra splash of colour, which enhanced the bridesmaids dresses. Every flower was perfect in all our arrangements and the amazing skill to re- position flowed throughout the wedding day is excellent. Everything was packaged up well for arrival at all the different parts of our wedding. But the most important part was Nicola in her communication throughout our wedding preparation and the lead up.. great booking system for communication. Thank you Nicola and Paul for your wonderful support.

Beautiful wedding flowers

We chose Petals and Posies for our wedding flowers and were super happy with the results. I left the choice of flowers to Nicola to choose as I just wanted something bright and in season. My bouquet and the bridesmaids bouquets were beautiful and really unique. I felt like Nicola got a really good feel for what I wanted and I got something special. They also provided bud vases and candles for our tables which were also lovely and fitted in with our rustic theme. All flowers were delivered in good time and beauftifully presented. I highly recommend.

Highly recommended!

I honestly can’t recommend Nicola highly enough for anyone searching for the perfect wedding flowers.

From the very beginning, Nicola was so warm, professional, and incredibly helpful when discussing the floral arrangements for my wedding day. As someone who had lots of ideas and struggled to make decisions, she was so patient—always offering suggestions and replying to emails so kindly and quickly to help in any way she could.

Nicola’s knowledge and passion for flowers really shine through. She took the time to truly understand my vision and helped bring to life the bouquet and florals I had always dreamed of. Our design appointment was extremely helpful , and I felt completely confident I was in the best hands.

On the wedding day, I was honestly blown away. The bouquets, buttonholes, and table centrepieces were absolutely stunning—more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. It meant so much to see everything come together so perfectly.

We are so, so grateful to Nicola for making our day feel even more magical.

Thank you so much!
