Work
Every photograph here says what it was and what it cost.
Galleries on florists' websites tend to be beautiful and useless. You cannot tell whether the arrangement you are looking at was $60 or $600, so you learn nothing and you still have to ring up and ask.
These are real orders. The caption gives you the month, the size and the price actually charged, so you can work out what your budget looks like before you talk to us.

Everyday orders
The ones that go out on an ordinary Wednesday.
Dahlias and cosmos. The brief was "nothing pink", which in August means pushing into rust and deep red instead.
Tulips in the three weeks a year they are worth buying. Roz will not use them in July whatever the wholesaler offers.
Sent by a customer to her own address so there would be something on the counter when she got back from two weeks away.
Collected from the studio on a Friday rather than delivered. About a third of everyday orders are picked up on a walk-in day.
No brief at all. This is the order where the customer says "surprise me" and means it. Built from the Tuesday market run.
Not on the price list, but we make them. Ask, and if it is a quiet week the answer is usually yes.
Weddings
Four of the eighteen from this year.
Guest counts are included because they explain the prices better than anything else does.
Peonies for as long as they lasted, then garden roses. Moving the date two weeks changed the entire palette, which is how flowers work.
Every dahlia from the grower eleven miles out. Built into wire, no foam, collected the following morning.
The largest we took this year. Six bouquets, eleven buttonholes, and fourteen tables. Two days of building.
No other flowers at all. She carried this and they went to a restaurant afterwards. One of our favorite jobs of the spring.
Close to our floor price. Chrysanthemum and amaranth, which are both far better than their reputations.
A single large urn arrangement for a ceremony with nothing else. Sometimes one big thing beats twelve small ones.
Celebrations
Dinners, showers and anniversaries, two weeks' notice.
A sixtieth birthday dinner. Nine low arrangements down a long table, ordered three weeks ahead, no consultation needed.
Four arrangements kept deliberately low so people could see each other. We will push back if you ask for tall ones on a dinner table.
One larger arrangement for an engagement party, plus a small one for the hall table that nobody asked for and everybody mentioned.
A welcome table for a baby shower. Built to be carried out at the end and put on somebody's kitchen table.
An anniversary party in a room we had not seen before. We now ask for a photograph of the room before quoting.
Three small ones along a dessert table. The smallest celebration order we took last year and a perfectly good one.
