‘Thank you so very much for the flowers you put together for my wife’s special birthday last week. She is very particular in the things she likes, especially floristry, and she was absolutely thrilled!
I asked you to put an arrangement together with just a few guidelines regarding colour, type, etc and left it to you to come up with something special. The result was amazing. You absolutely nailed it and my wife was so thrilled. It made her day, especially as you delivered them exactly when you said you would.
A week on, they still look fabulous. She has separated the original arrangement and tends them every day. I have attached some photos to show how great they still look.
Thank you for your care, skill and expertise. You have made her so happy, she never stops saying thank you for them and, not only did you make her birthday even more special, you have and continue to make every day special as the flowers just last and last’
‘Thank you so so much - it was an honour to do your flowers and I know your Mother loved our country style so it was truly lovely to make them for you. Such a kind review is so very appreciated’
