Here are some of the comments from Brides that have voted for me in
The 2012 Wedding Industry Awards.
“Caroline did a lovely job with our wedding flowers and really cares about what she does”
“Our flowers were a
real highlight of the day for us. They were so beautiful! Caroline did
such a fabulous job and we couldn’t have wished for any better. Her
passion for floristry really shows in her work and I have recommended
her to so many people.”
“Caroline at The Orchid
Room was great, very friendly, approachable, adaptable and
professional. My husband wasn't fussed about flowers and when he saw
the flowers on the day he was so impressed and pleased. I got married
at Creeksea Place and the venue are very fussy about using suppliers
outside of the recommended list, as a result of the flowers The Orchid
Room provided they are now the new preferred florist!”
“Good luck Caroline. I hope you win. Thoroughly deserved!”
“Absolutely stunning flowers that I loved more than I imagined I would!”
“From the moment I
first met Caroline, I knew that we had made the right choice with our
florist for our wedding. She was very friendly, approachable and
listened to what we wanted, along with providing many suggestions
herself. She never once pressurized us into having something we didn't
want and she was a pleasure to deal with. No matter what concerns or
queries I had, she was always available to assist me in any way she
could.
Our flowers were amazing, I absolutely loved my bridal bouquet and all
our guests commented on the beautiful table displays. I honestly could
not recommend Caroline enough, I will definitely be suggesting the
Orchid Room to any future brides to be.”
“Caroline made my
wedding flowers dreams come true!
Her knowledge, experience and skills are truly brilliant. Our flowers
completed the venue perfectly and matched our theme exactly.
The flowers were so pretty and fresh looking they looked as though they
had been picked that very morning!
I had never heard or seen some of the flowers and foliage Caroline
suggested for in my bouquet and when i saw my Bouquet the morning of my
wedding i couldn't believe how stunning it looked, she had gone over and
beyond any expectations I had. The mens buttonholes were extremely
stylish and the bridesmaids all loved their bouquets! Caroline wasn't
even fazed with a couple of quirky ideas I came up with and bought them
to life beautifully.
My only one negative is that they couldn't last forever because they
were so beautiful I would like to be able to look at them every day.”
“Well, what can I say,
When I walked into the room I was speechless, The smell of the flowers
hit me, they were absolutely beautiful, Caroline captured my personality
perfectly. Being a mature bride, I wanted to look elegant and classy,
and that's exactly how I felt. I will definitely keep in touch with
Caroline.”
“Caroline of the Orchid
Room is an amazing floral designer who provided an exceptional service
leading up to, on the and after our wedding day. Caroline is very
friendly and approachable and has a vast knowledge of the industry. When
we first booked our initial consultation appointment I was extremely
indecisive of what I really wanted. She had advised that I take some
colour swatches, collect together images of flowers I likes or any
arrangements that I had seen in magazines that I liked so she could get
an idea of what appealed and it really helped and enabled her to create
some truly amazing flowers for our wedding day,
She has lots of images in a portfolio of previous work she had created
and of venues she had worked at an I found that very useful seeing
floral displays set up at out chosen venue as it enabled me to see how
it would work.
If I ever had a query or any questions she was always happy to advice
whether it be via email or over the phone.
She kept in regular contact leading up to our big day and on the day she
was brilliant, she ensured everything was set up in the right place and
the flowers themselves were beautiful as were the quality of each and
every single bloom. The end of the day and our flowers were still as
perfect as when she first delivered and set them up.
Price wise I am a believer that you pay for what you get and in order to
get quality you need to spend that little extra and I am more than
happy with the amount that we spent on the flowers for our day., The
flowers were perfect and everyone commented on how beautiful they were
and the fact that they lasted all day ( even several days after) Im glad
that we didn't try to cost cut as every guests comments and the
memories we have in our photographs make every penny we spent on the flowers worth it.”
“The service, quality
and attention to detail was outstanding. Would recommend The Orchid Room
110 percent. Excellent value and knew just what we wanted. Many Thanks.”
“We are so happy with
Caroline as our wedding florist. We originally met her at a wedding fair
at Friern Manor and she was so friendly and enthusiastic, I knew
straight away that she was the one! When we had our appointment and
booked to go through our flowers we were so impressed with Caroline and
her shop. We had tea and cake and was made to feel very welcome. We went
through our wedding flowers and made our order, everything was easy.
When we left Caroline gave me a big bunch of gorgeous roses and Matt had
a buttonhole. Our wedding day was amazing. Caroline turned up in the
morning and came and said hello to me and my bridesmaids, we had a big
hug and she showed me all the bouquets. They were lovely, all my
bridesmaids and my mum was choking up with emotion and saying they were
gorgeous. I could not wait to see all the flowers and wanted to pop down
and see them all before I got married. Caroline recommended that I
waited until later on so that when Matt and I walked in we will both be
amazed. I did exactly as she recommended and im glad I took her advice.
The flowers were breathtaking. All of them, our top table flowers and
table flowers were absolutely lovely. A lot of guests and others who
have seen our pics have commented on our flowers saying how lovely they
all are. I have also had a lot of people ask for Caroline's details.
Since the big day I have had my bouquet preserved as I could not bear to
think of my bouquet flowers dying. The man who I dropped them off to
asked for Caroline's details as he said you can tell it was a very good
florist who did my bouquet! All of my bridesmaids are trying to preserve
there flowers for as long as possible also. Caroline, if you ever get
to read this message thank you so very much for everything. I know i've
text you already but your flowers were amazing and they look great in
our pics. Thank you for your hard work and dedication. It was so hot on
our wedding day and I know you were up from 3am arranging the flowers!
Thank you again so very much, good luck and hope you win!! Rachel and
Matt xx”
“Not only was I lucky
to have met Caroline (recommended by my friend) and for her to do my
dream wedding flowers, I now see her as my friend. She is so creative
and amazing in her design and her work is second to none. I really
enjoyed working with Caroline prior to my wedding as she knew exactly
what I wanted, she was always so cheerful and that reflects in
everything she does. I will never forget on my wedding morning when she
come to my house carrying my flowers with such enthusiasm and happiness,
she just added something special to the bubbly atmosphere with all the
goings on with the girls getting ready. I could not believe my eyes when
I saw my flowers - they were the most beautiful I have ever seen. The
flowers were a BIG talking point at my wedding and I can honestly say
they were arranged with love. Caroline deserves to win, she offers a
service and creativity that other florists cant!”
“Caroline was amazing
from start to finish. She spent ages with me discussing my ideas and
recommended what she thought would work. She made sure to keep in
contact throughout the process.
She made contact with my mum the week of the wedding to make sure we
were still happy with the plans for the floral designs.
On the day of the wedding she arrived in plenty of time, made sure that
everything was in the right places and that we were happy. The
arrangements were amazing - even better than i imagined.
Caroline even offered to help with the cake that we were having problems
with on the day.
Caroline will be highly recommended to brides to be. I have already
recommended her to three of my friends who will be getting married next
year.”
“The orchid rooms
supplied my bouquet and 2 bridesmaids and also decorated the venue. The
flowers were beautiful and they made me feel like a real princess on my
special day. Thank you Orchid Rooms”
“My husband and I are
very happy with the service we received from Caroline and her team. From
the start Caroline was very friendly and professional, and her barn is
beautifully decorated, which was reflected in the wedding flowers made
for us. Caroline had lots of ideas for flowers, as we didn't really have a
clue where to start! She kept us up to date leading up to the wedding,
and let us know when a new flower became available, suggesting it for
our bouquets, which in fact exactly matched what we were looking for. On
the day of the wedding everything was set up and flowers delivered on
time, and I had nothing to worry about whilst getting ready. The flowers
were better than we had imagined and had lots of guests comment on how
beautiful they were.”

colours they were available in. I wasn't pressured into booking The
Orchid Room and the quote I was given was, in my opinion, great value
for money.”

friendly, has the personal touch and will do anything to make her
Brides wedding flowers amazing! I really love pionies but as my wedding
was in July they were out of season, Caroline worked her magic and
especially got some which was a lovely surprise on my wedding day Little
touches like that go along way.”
