Early Summer 2024

We were so impressed with our wedding flowers and we had so many guests comment on how wonderful the arrangements and bouquets were. All the flowers were fresh, fragrant and exactly what we asked for (and more!).

In the run up to the wedding, Claire liaised with us regularly to ensure we received exactly what we wanted - the level of detail was amazing. When we were unsure, Claire was happy to guide us through and make excellent suggestions using her wealth of experience. We also asked for Claire's help in moving the flowers from our church ceremony to the reception venue and subsequent dressing of the venue on the day which was a huge relief - nothing was too much trouble.

The flowers speak for themselves, truly stunning. But the friendly service Claire also provided was invaluable.

I honestly can’t recommend Claire and the Hibiscus Floral Team highly enough - they were incredible! It was literally a dream come true and the floral displays they created were even better than I could have possibly imagined.

We had originally booked a different florist but I kept on seeing Claire’s creations popping up on my Instagram and her work was so beautiful I started to doubt and regret my original choice of florist as I didn’t feel confident that they understood my vision. After lots of deliberation, I took the plunge and reached out to Claire, sharing my concerns and asking if she would have availability for our wedding date. From the very first message, Claire was an absolute joy to work with! So professional, but also super friendly and patient as we worked together to nail down the overall look and feel I wanted to achieve.

When she came to deliver our bridal flowers on the morning of the wedding, it felt like being re-united with an old friend as she is honestly just the loveliest person. The team stayed on site to re-purpose all of our church florals back to the main venue for our reception, and then returned the next morning to disassemble and re-purpose all of the florals into hand tied bouquets for our guests to take home. Not a single flower went to waste and we even managed to take some with us on our mini-moon so we could continue to enjoy the beautiful flowers.
Claire, you are a superstar and creative genius and I would wholeheartedly recommend you to anyone and everyone 🏼

Although Sophie has left a glowing review for you, I too wanted to get in touch to express my thanks.

Where do I start? Well, we first met in a coffee shop in Culworth. You had been recommended to us by a close friend of mine, Liz Straw. So I have her to thank for the introduction!

I realised instantly that you listened carefully to requirements and your wealth of floral knowledge was plain to see. Over the coming months your communication was prompt, accurate and your attention to detail quite amazing.

When I set eyes on the most beautiful flowers arranged by yourself in Buckingham Parish Church I was quite overcome with emotion and they simply took my breath away. They looked absolutely stunning and the scent resonated in church.

I know Matthew and Sophie were delighted with all the arrangements and you also managed to source (at last minute) lily of the valley which Sophie particularly wanted in her bouquet. How impressive is that? The bridesmaids' bouquets, buttonholes, corsages and of course the bridal bouquet were exquisite. Just as requested.

Thank you also for transporting and rearranging the displays at Crockwell for the wedding breakfast, they all looked beautiful. Your professionalism shone through.

You are an exceptional florist Claire and should be so proud of your achievements. Your dedication, passion and hard work is clear to see.

Spring 2024

Claire put together the most beautiful spring flowers for our Wedding in March.

In the lead up to our wedding, Claire was on hand with any questions we had over email, video call and in person - she was very detailed and thorough, and we could tell from our first meeting that our flowers were in good hands! I made a few changes to which flowers we wanted during the year, Claire was so helpful, patient and considerate with every change we made.

I really couldn't recommend her more - if you're reading this thinking about booking Claire - go for it! You will be so happy you did!

Claire created the most beautiful wedding flowers I have ever seen! From the get go I knew Claire would be our florist for our big day and luckily she was available! Claire was incredibly helpful for the two years ahead of our wedding - she was quick in responding to emails, provided a thorough and detailed quote and nothing seemed a bother, even when I changed the colour scheme a few times and suddenly opted for an outdoor ceremony and asked for a flower arch.

honestly it was just WOW. Guests could not believe how beautiful they looked and how perfect the roses were. The following day she took everything down very quickly and formed these into bouquets for us to gift to guests.

Don't hesitate and book Claire as your wedding florist. You will not be disappointed. 100/10!

Claire was amazing throughout our whole wedding journey - somehow she created beautiful bouquets, buttonholes, aisle footers, centrepieces, arrangements etc. that perfectly matched our vision even though we knew nothing about flowers and couldn't articulate what we actually wanted! Lovely that Claire has some decorations available to hire as well, we particularly liked our wedding postbox where guests could leave their cards.
I can't recommend Claire enough, our flowers were truly incredible and Claire was great to work with - before, on the day and even the day after.

Claire was an absolute dream to work with and made picking the flowers one of our fave bits of planning the wedding. She was super helpful from day one, helping us shape our vision and working with us to create a midsummer wildflower wonderland!
Not only would she consider what looked the most beautiful, but she considered sustainable seasonal favourites and what would be most efficient for our budget. Claire worked tirelessly the day before, of and after our wedding to prep the bouquets and table flowers, build an incredible arch and then make hand tied bunches for us to take away the next day. Thank you so much Claire for making our day so magical!

I was blown away with how amazing the flowers looked on our wedding day! From my bouquet, to the table arrangements and the backdrop. I am so happy with how it all turned out and it was just what I was hoping for.

Claire was very responsive with my questions, helpful with my little knowledge of flowers and very patient with my last minute change to the backdrop. On top of that, she was also conscious of my budget, which I appreciate. I knew she would do a great job as she also did both of my sister's weddings. So don't walk but run to get Claire as your wedding florist!

from the moment we got in touch with Claire from Hibiscus Floral Designs we knew we wanted her to create our wedding florals. Claire was incredibly approachable & knowledgeable and I felt like she understood our vision better than ourselves!

When she walked through the door of the getting ready room with the bouquets I was so happy and knew that the Church and venue would look equally gorgeous- & I was not disappointed!!

The floral set up and clear up were so seamless we didn't notice any of it happening. We couldn't recommend Claire anymore, thank you so much- the guests were so thrilled to be able to take flowers home too. Wish we could do it all again!

From the bottom of our hearts we would like to thank you for your hard work, support and effort leading up to our special day.

We are entirely grateful to you and loved working with you to bring our dream wedding day to life. We appreciate your help in creating unforgettable moments that will last a lifetime.

Claire provided the flowers for our spring wedding and they were fantastic. I was blown away by the flowers on the day.

She also handled the decoration of our venue and did an amazing job, again just really understanding what I had in my head even if I hadn’t communicated it fully - even little requests on the morning of the wedding were handled with ease! My bouquet was the most beautiful arrangement of flowers I've had and I cant wait to pressure my husband into recreating it every anniversary :)
