I am an independent fully qualified florist based in South Wales UK and I am deemed as a very good florist by The Good Florist Guide.

I am an independent florist based in Caerphilly, and I get several orders from Australia every year, with some happy flowers and some sad flowers, be it from Sydney, Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Hobart, Darwin, and Canberra with many small towns luck Mudgee and all sorts of interesting places. I suppose the best way to cover the area, is to say I have been blessed with flower orders from New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, and The Northern Territories, plus Tasmania.   

I only purchase the highest quality stems, for happy occasions as well as funerals or farewell flowers as I call them. I do my best to facilitate any of my customers and on occasion get asked to make personalised tributes. Some of which are on my website. I only put these on my website if the customer wants me to, otherwise, I respect you as a customer and a person and it stays private.  

There are a lot of Welsh and Welsh relatives in Australia and some who choose me to create and deliver their floral gifts and tributes to their loved ones in Caerphilly, Cardiff, St Mellons Newport, Blackwood, Newbridge Tredegar Pontypridd, Ystrad Mynach, Bedwas, Nelson, Treharris and the Rhondda Valley.

If you are unsure of the delivery area, then 10 miles as the bird flies around my shop in Caerphilly, and a little more in some cases is where I will deliver flowers. If you are unsure of the exact location, please email or phone me, and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

If you want flowers delivered out with my delivery area. I can recommend a local florist to the area you require.

Don’t use a flower gathering service, they will take around 30% of the gross sale value, which means you will get 30% less. It is not good value for money and you cannot be sure of the freshness, the quality of the stems, or indeed the level of skill the florist has. The flowers might be sent from a warehouse in a box. I don’t like or agree with order gathering; hence I am not a member of any relay service and am solely independent.

I love being a florist and I would describe myself as a general florist.  That doesn’t mean to say, I can’t make beautiful floral art because I do. I am a fully qualified florist with 25 years of experience and a member of the Good Florist Guide, which is by invitation only. The Good Florist Guide represents the top 1% of florists in the UK.

I enjoy being able to facilitate the wishes and the quality of both flowers and floristry for people, who are so far away, being literally on the other side of the world.

I buy British flowers when I can, but 80% of the flowers I use, arrive from the Netherlands. The Dutch flower markets have a stranglehold on the European flower market. Our Daffodils are Welsh, but like every British flower, they are seasonal too. I have daily deliveries of flowers to maintain the quality and freshness of each stem. I can create any floral bouquet or personalized tribute. If you would like to send exotic flowers to your loved ones in my delivery area. I need 2 days' notice to organize specific stems to arrive. I do have to purchase complete wraps of those specified stems but it adds a bit more spice to my daily offering and my local customers who come to my shop like the unusual and I have purchased some pretty rare flowers over the years.

It is possible to buy directly from my website and if you would like alterations, then stipulate on the order form, what you want, as well as a message, which I handwrite and attach to your floral gift. I can deliver the same say, if you send your flower order before 3.00 pm UK time. If not, unfortunately, it has to be the next day. I say that because some of my delivery areas can be 1 hour from the shop without traffic.

Thank you for reading my page and I hope I have helped you.

Kind regards,

Nicola.
