Delivering across Leicester on Christmas Eve

I'm still waiting for the postie to get through the snow with something I ordered a while ago now so I know how stressful it can be. If you need a plan B why not go for flowers? We're delivering across Leicester up tp late on Christmas Eve and if you need something last minute flowers definitely beat screenwash and bags of mints from the garage. Leicester is under a lot of snow today and the Leicester Mercury had photos of lots of the Leicester villages snowed in but we'll get your flowers there if it means firing up the snow plough.

We don't just deliver in Leicester, Interflora can get stuff out nationally and internationally if the local shops are able.

We won't let a bit of snow stop us though.

Silk Amarillis

For an on going conference dinner, this customer wanted something that was going to last over the Christmas season. As they didn't want to replace their fresh flowers we advised them to go with a silk arrangement. As the amarillis is a beautiful Christmas flower, it went well with their Christmas seasonal party scene without going down the traditional red and green route. In order to make the flowers look more realistic, we put water in the vase, which is a little trick for your silk flowers to make them look more realistic. The silk flowers are such amazing quality that so many people mistake them for fresh.

Beautiful Red Lily Silk Arrangement

This arrangement includes red silk lilies and trailing ivy. This looks amazing as a top table piece for a wedding or simply on the table for a diner party. Again for an alternative to freshly cut flower arrangements, these silk ones will last forever and look really striking.

Unique Arrangements

This is a great alternative to create a more extravagant arrangement for your table. This silk arrangement makes a perfect gift for someone whos really into unusual looking flowers and who loves bright colours.

Alternative Wedding Table Arrangement

This is a great alternative to a cut flower table arrangement. These Vriesea plants are bright flowers edged with beautiful leaves. They are sitting in tartan fabric on top of gel beads. The great thing about these is that you can give them to people as gifts afterwards and they last really well. Perfect for thankyou presents for not only weddings but also birthday parties, engagement parties and just general get togethers.

Love at Christmas vase

Our Christmas vase includes:  red Gerbra, green Chyrss, Red alstro, lillies and berries. Perfect seasonal colours with an added decoration to pop on the Christmas tree afterwards!!

Corsage

This corsage can be worn on the wrist or pinned onto a hand bag. The burgundy ribbon linked in with the theme of this wedding and made this particular corsage really unique.

Corsages and Button Holes

This wrist corsage was made on a ribbon using a large red rose with white rose petal detailing round the edge. Wrist corsages are becoming really popular and are ideal for older girls who aren't bridesmaids but are still part of the wedding. We can also make our corsages on a band which can have a tighter grip around the wrist.

This was the grooms button hole. The added red petal detailing makes it a bit more special.

Cream and Gold wedding

This bride wanted her wedding to be simple and elegant. These vendella roses are more of a creamy white rather than a snow white, which means they go really well with any colour schemes. Strips of gold beargrass were also included in the bouquet which kept it simple but made it a  bit more special.

French Tribute

This was a tribute wreath which was collected to be taken over to France to a rememberence tribute parade. We were happy to be a part of this event and if you had anything in mind for a similar sort of occassion we would be happy to help in creating something special for a lost loved one.

Pretty Pink Wedding

Showing we can accomodate for any size of wedding. This bride wanted simple elegant flowers that weren't too flashy but slotted in well with the simple theme of her wedding. She decided on six Dolchetveta Roses for her bridal boquet with button holes to match. The pink wax flower also adds a touch of summer to this beautiful boquet.

Wonderful White Wedding

From the smallest wedding to the largest wedding, this bride was sure what she wanted and that was large statement flowers!! Hydrangeas and Lysianthus were a key theme in her wedding and everything was big, white and glamorous to create the real "wow" factor.
This arrangement on a tall glass vase was placed on every other table. Its a good idea to vary the heights of arrangements on tables as when you walk into the room theres a nice flow of shapes and it makes the whole place look more pleasing to the eye.

White Avalanche Rose and Wax Flower Bridal Bouquet. Everything was kept white except a splash of burgundy for the button holes to make the groom look extra special.
These glass fishbowls with gorgeous purple calla lilies looked perfect as table arrangements. The contrast between the tall white table arrangements and small purple lily arrangements added a great twist to the perfect, white wedding. This idea was quite adventurous yet tied in really well with the outlook of the wedding.

White Carmen Rose Bridal Bouquet

This edgy take on your everyday white rose bouquet has really taken off as the unusual effect has become really popular with slightly alternative brides. The pearl detail adds a touch of wedding class but still creates a different style of bouquet, perfect for any season. K247

Pink Lily, White Carnations, White Chrys

This funeral spray includes pale pinks and blues suitable for a man or woman. Sprays can be personalised to include any of the late persons favourite colours or flowers to make it that extra bit more personal to remember that special somoeone.

Sweet Avalanche, Peach Avalanche and Green Avalanche

Again the rustic, vintage look is really popular this summer/autumn. These unusual green avalanche are popular demand and look gorgeous with other pale roses to create a real late summers day look. The colours are really understated but the green rose makes the bouquet really eye-catching. G246

Lilac Ocean Song

Lilac roses have become a real trend and look really pretty when complimenting a garden party themed wedding. If you want something a little bit different to your bog-standard white rose then this is definately the way to go. CW245
This bride wanted the subtle lilacs but with a flash of darker purple to give the theme that extra wow factor. The silk ribbon and pearl pin in the top of each rose complimented her theme beautifully. The flash of darker purple also gave us the chance to be a bit more creative with everything and the bride was really happy with the overall look of her flowers.

Pink and White Rose Bridal Bouquet and Pink Rose Wrist Corsage


This simple and elegant bridal bouquet is perfect for a late summer wedding. The pink rose have been studded with sparkly crystal pins which give it that extra bit of special twinkle. EE244

Peach Avalanche, Sweet Avalanche and Djeome Rose

This bride wanted a vintage, antique theme for her wedding so we chose beautiful rustic, antique tea roses arranged on top of this crystal candle chandelier. We have tall and short versions of this chandelier and its great to mix the sizes to give the whole wedding a vintage, shabby-chique feel. CC242
The chandeliers are open to hire and we also have all sorts of different vases, fish bowls etc, which add a touch of extra class to any wedding. BB243
