Sarah was a fundamental, fantastic part of our wedding day and I would 100% recommend her to be a part of yours.
Sarah has an absolutely brilliant vision and fantastic skills to make it work. Sarah asked to meet with us to talk through ideas, asked us lots of questions and wanted photos of inspiration that we had seen online so that she really understood the look we were aiming for with the flowers and decorations. Some of the floral displays we wanted were logistically very hard to create, yet Sarah was able to find a way to problem solve and make it work with her motivation, determination and natural enthusiasm. The arrangements of flowers, real and artificial candles, vases, table runners, easels were absolutely outstanding - they looked unreal, they injected bits of our personalities into the venue, they made a lovely atmosphere amongst the guests, and were a real talking point. They also look incredible on the photos and have dried beautifully. Sarah, the look and atmosphere she created is our favourite part of our wedding day.
Sarah is also brilliantly helpful - responds to emails/calls etc really promptly which completely puts your mind at ease during a time where things can get really stressful.
Sarah is also incredibly kind, friendly and is just an absolute pleasure to be around. Thank you so much. Rachel and Daniel xxxx
