Lady Henrietta and John's wedding flowers were absolutely amazing and so so special. Absolutely exactly what I had wished for with free flowing and natural designs. Basically I have no other words to describe what you did for us. The presentation is second to none.

Just wanted to say a HUGGGE thank you for Saturday just gone. The flowers looked absolutely stunning and my mum has managed to take almost all of them home. Her house looks and smells incredible now 😃 Thanks again!
Tory Childs-Carlile x 1st August 2023
Just wanted to drop a short note over to say thanks for the help over the weekend, obviously we were very lucky with the weather and the flowers looked great and really helped set the scene for the wedding.
Toby and Valentia Spittle - 25th May 2023
Fantastic from start to finish, I can't recommend Bearded Florista enough!! Great communication, so knowledgeable and helpful, nothing was too much trouble and they really took the time to understand what we wanted down to the last detail. Phil and Don are total experts, so creative and artistic, and just the friendliest people you could hope to meet. Our wedding guests couldn't stop complimenting our flowers (more than one said they were the best flowers they'd ever seen at a wedding!) and we were totally thrilled with them, everything came out better than we could have imagined. It was all was seamless and organised -

Dear favourite Bears! You two are such fun and we are so pleased you could stay for lunch. The flowers were, as always glorious and the Hilda bags a triumph. We love the leather key tags, really super, thank you, Very much love, The Hilda's XXXX
