I have a ‘special valentine’
Who waits in Heaven above...
Tho’ I can no longer send a special card,
I still send my eternal love.
They never are forgotten,
especially on this date.
I know in life I was so, so blessed,
to have found my true soulmate.

-Mary G - Love for All

Some of the beautiful floral tributes we have been privileged to see 💐

Flowers have been used as a symbol of love, sympathy and respect for thousands of years -flowers have even been found in graves as old as 62,000 BC!

We work with amazing florists and we are very lucky to have the fantastic The Flower Room very close by who’s work is always stunning.
