Emma is incredible

Emma and her beautiful flowers were without a doubt one of the biggest highlights to our day. Her passion and enthusiasm for what she does is exceptional and I knew from the first time I met her that I could trust her to bring our vision to life! Her responses were quick and she kept me updated with little sneak peaks in the lead up to our wedding day which was so special. One of the loveliest, kind and talented people in the business and you would be crazy to not book her for your events to be honest!

‘The best flowers I’ve ever seen’

How do we even begin to describe how amazingly, incredibly, perfect our wedding flowers were. Emma your skills and design are truly out of this world.

From the moment we reached out to Emma we knew she was the florist for us. Just a few words on our wedding style and Emma absolutely nailed the mood board and completely got on board with my crazy ideas and Gavin and Stacey themed dream wedding.

We asked for bright, pink, orange with mirror balls and oh boy did she deliver. With little input from us Emma truly created my dream bouquet and the table pieces and centre piece genuinely took our breath away.

You can definitely tell that Emma uses the best quality products, and created such a beautiful and unique arrangement, flowers that I genuinely never even knew existed!

The recurring comment we had from all our guests was how our flowers were so unique and honestly the best flowers they’d ever seen and we completely agree!

Emma is such a lovely and heart warming person, from the video phone call prior to my hen do, to helping me set up my wedding venue the day before the wedding, she genuinely went above and beyond and her happiness and excitement really shines from her and made our flowers feel like such a special part of our day.

We can’t thank Emma enough for genuinely making our wedding day, please please please use Emma for your wedding flowers if you want to have the best, unique and absolutely stunning floral arrangements that will have every one of your guests commenting!!

Just wow!!!

Thank you so much for making our day so special 🩷

Ahhhmazing!!

We had the best experience with Emma! Our first meeting was bubbly and fun filled with ideas. We refined that idea over the course of a number of calls/texts and video meetings to meet our budget but also what we visualised but Emma bought her own ideas as well which really helped pull everything together (we do not know flowers!!). As it was in October we wanted to lean into the fall but not into Halloween too much and the outcome was just phenomenal - pumpkins, seasonal flowers, dried flowers and pinecones etc just really made everything feel autumnal. Emma is not only a fantastic florist but every interaction we had made us feel a connection with her as well.

5 stars just aren’t enough!!

Omg what can I even say!! Emma was EXACTLY who we wanted and needed!! We had absolutely NO idea what we wanted, Emma guided us every step of the way, she told us how to get the most for our money, reusing displays in different areas throughout the day. She was warm, friendly, super quick at responding, hilarious, and I felt like I’d known her for years! On top of all that her work on the day was beyond anything we could’ve imagined! Thanks again you legend xxxx

The BEST florist - The Flower Collective

If you’re looking for a wedding florist, do yourself a favour and book The Flower Collective! Emma was hands down one of the best suppliers we worked with throughout our entire wedding planning process. I’m beyond grateful for the care, creativity and calm she brought to our day.

Nothing was ever too much trouble, and she knew exactly how to ease the nerves of a stressed-out bride. Not to mention the fact that Emma is insanely talented and clearly loves what she does. She went above and beyond, and everything she created was even more beautiful than I imagined.
If you’ve got a creative vision, Emma will absolutely nail it (and exceed it). An absolute gem of a florist!

Simply stunning

Emma well and truly understood the brief of what I wanted for our florals.

I wanted COLOUR COLOUR COLOUR. Emma was so excited for us. She explained the process thoroughly and was on hand constantly to answer any questions we had. She was so down to earth it was like talking to a friend. She guided us throughout our planning keeping us to date with photos, videos and excited updates!

The end result was absolutely stunning and I’m so grateful. Emma is truly passionate about what she does and oozes positivity and that really shows in her work.

Emma is incredible!

Emma is so great at what she does, shes so so creative! I loved what she created for our day, she really listened and understood what I wanted and the vibe I was going for.
Emma is so enthusiastic about what she does and it’s so lovely having a supplier who truly loves what they do.

She’s so likeable, bubbly and funny but still very professional in how she conducts herself. From booking with her until the big day Emma kept in contact keeping me in the loop with the process and arranging a final flower meeting to go over it all. She gave us so many ideas and suggestions and made the whole process so stress free.

I 100% recommend her to any brides and grooms looking for a florist! She’s amazing!

A truly special florist!

Emma was nothing short of incredible from start to finish!

From our first conversation, I knew I was in safe hands. I described my vision, and she instantly got it. She sent over the most stunning mood board that captured everything I’d been imagining and more. It was like she plucked the ideas straight from my head and brought them beautifully to life.

Emma is not only an expert in her field but also clearly so passionate about what she does. Her communication, updates, and suggestions made the whole process feel collaborative and stress-free.

On the day, Emma arrived on time, had everything perfectly organised for transport to the venue, and brought with her a warm, bubbly presence that made such a difference to a busy (and slightly stressful!) morning.

Emma, the flowers were everything I had dreamed of and more. I'm so glad I found you, thank you so much x

Emma was everything and more!

Emma was so wonderful to work with! She become a friend throughout the whole process, not only helping us with our beautiful flowers, but supporting us through other issues that occured in the build up.
She understood everything we wanted, and worked with our colour schemes perfectly. We had spring flowers to represent new beginnings and spring bulbs for the centre pieces.
We were overwhelmed with the beautiful pieces.
I also wanted 3 symbolic flowers in my bridal bouquet to represent family members who are no longer with us. Emma wasn't able to get them as they were out of season, but she went above and beyond to find amazing silk replicas, which she doesn't usually use and she made them fit so seamlessly into the bouquet! The whole arrangement was absolutely spectacular.
She put both our dads at ease and Josh, who will never admit it, but they were nervous, but Emma's bubbly bright personality and kindness, helped ease the mood.
Even after our wedding, Emma checked in with us and was able to suggest another amazing artist who is now pressing and framing my Bouquet.
We will forever be grateful for Emma being part of our special day ❤️

Beautiful fresh spring wedding flowers

Emma was simply amazing, she supplied flowers for our wedding back in April using locally sourced flowers which were so bright and vibrant.
We weren't sure what we wanted but Emma put us immediately at ease with her extensive knowledge and talent producing the most amazing bouquets and button holes.
We would highly recommend her to anyone!
