Amazing vision with breath taking results.

Jelka was amazing from start to finish. I was clearly out of my depth with wedding planning (as I’m sure most are) but Jelka was there to offer not only professional support but personally as well from her own experience of planning. I had a brief of English wildflowers and purple (which was my bridesmaids colour), she matched this and everything more. Everyone commented on how stunning all of the flowers were. Jelka even personally added a touch of orange to help the colours pop even more. My beautiful bouquet lasted for two weeks and we distributed all of our wedding flowers to guests who messaged me to say they’d to lasted the same. Jelka was not only amazing at what she does but also very easy to talk to and getting the best out of bringing your vision alive. I cannot recommend her enough. I’ve told my now husband that he needs to make sure for our anniversary he has Jelka recreate my bouquet haha! Jelka kept in touch frequently and would talk about the flowers in season, what she was available to source etc. I pretty much gave Jelka free range from the brief and she definitely has an eye for detail and what looks beautiful together

The best natural boho wedding display I’ve ever seen

Jelka and her team really took all the ideas I had jumbled in my head and brought them to life. Just a few Pinterest pictures for inspo and she knew exactly what I wanted. My bouquet and little flower girl crowns were unreal. All my flowers for the tables were just sensational, everyone commented at how beautiful they were. The flowers were so fresh they lasted weeks in my house after our amazing day. I couldnt be happier. I really didn’t know anything about flowers before and she helped she pick and decide every little detail. Her attention to the small stuff was astounding and she really put me at rest. She is the BEST FOR MILES!
