Flowers that told our story...
The flowers at our wedding were nothing short of breathtaking. Every arrangement felt thoughtfully designed, perfectly capturing the atmosphere we dreamed of — elegant, romantic, and full of life. From the stunning bouquets to the beautiful table displays and ceremony florals, the attention to detail was incredible. The colours were perfectly balanced, the blooms were fresh and vibrant, and everything came together so seamlessly that guests couldn’t stop commenting on how beautiful it all looked. Nicola truly understood our vision and brought it to life in the most magical way. The moment the flowers were delivered with such care to my bridal suite, brought tears to my eyes and set the tone for the entire day. The inclusion of flowers unique to my home in South Africa made everything feel even more meaningful, adding a deeply personal touch that connected our celebration to my roots. Nicola and Paul played an integral part in our wedding, and their effort, passion and kindness will be remembered as vividly as our beautiful florals. Even after the wedding, the flowers have continued to bring joy — filling the homes of our family and friends and extending the beauty of our day into their everyday lives. The flowers didn’t just decorate the day — they elevated it, creating a setting that felt unforgettable and completely personal. We couldn not have asked for anything more perfect.

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!

Amazing Florist
Nicola was brilliant from the very start in helping me choose my wedding flowers, especially as it was a December wedding. She was incredibly personable and took the time to talk me through different options and colour combinations, making sure everything tied in beautifully with the Christmas theme and champagne colour scheme. Communication throughout was really positive, and she even helped incorporate my Nan’s engagement ring by tying it to my bouquet, which made it extra special. I would definitely recommend.

Partner in petals :D
From the very start when I enquired Nicola was absolutely stand out from other florists in terms of helping me refine what I wanted, giving me advice on what was in season, and how to get the best value for money. I really felt like we were partners to make my wedding spectacular 😉
My bouquet in particular was so so perfect, just wow, it was gorgeous. So many of the guests commented on the center pieces too and just how big they were!
Do not hesitate using Nicola and Petals & Posies :D

Breath taking flowers!
Both my bridesmaids and I nearly cried when we saw the gorgeous flowers! Flowers were a big deal for both my husband and I, and we wanted to make sure they were lovely. Petals and Posies (Nicola) was fantastic during every meeting and very flexible to our wants. The bridesmaids posies were just as gorgeous as mine, and I had flowers wired for my hair that were gorgeous and just what I wanted. Even my hairdresser loved it! Nicola also made us large milk churns with huge wonderful flowers, table centre pieces, button holes, corsages and a long and low arrangement for the top table. We took that with us on honeymoon and enjoyed it for over another week! Absolutely perfect flowers and I wish I could have them everyday!

Wedding ceremony flowers
In my wedding day Nicola did a very good job providing flower for me, and for the church. The decoration was excellent. My bouquet was lovely with lots of delicate pastels tones. I loved to have in the Church lots of whole wheats with a nice ribbon blu navy. She gave me many support and assistance to arrange everything. Highly recommend!
