Flowers by Nic - The Floral Boutique

29/07/2026

The first week of the summer holidays has certainly been keeping us on our toes!

We’ve been up early each morning delivering beautiful flowers and funeral florals, then trying to make the most of the afternoons with trips to the beach to keep the children entertained. It’s a bit of a juggling act balancing work and family life, but I’m so grateful that I get to do both.

I also just wanted to say a huge thank you for all the lovely comments on our previous post celebrating our 20th birthday. Reading your memories and kind words has been so special. It really has felt like a little trip down memory lane, and it’s reminded me just how lucky I am to do a job I genuinely love, surrounded by such wonderful customers who’ve supported us over the years.

To all the parents juggling work and the summer holidays... how’s your first week been so far? Have you managed to find your rhythm yet, or are you just taking it one day at a time? Any tips to keep to keep a pre-teen entertained would be greatly appreciated!

Our Weekly Wrap Up

Last week was a busy one - not just on the flower front, but personally too.

My oldest is starting high school in September, so there have been so many extra activities as they get ready to finish primary school. It’s such an exciting milestone, and I don’t want to miss a thing, but the juggle is definitely real!

In between creating beautiful flowers, I’m making sure to soak up these special moments. Time really does fly, and I’m trying to enjoy every last bit of this chapter before the next adventure begins.

This week we’ve got a beautiful wedding to decorate with all the wild and whimsy flowers this season has to offer, can’t wait to show you!

Much love,

Our Weekly Wrap Up

A week of sunshine, flowers & staying hydrated!

The last week has been full of sunshine, flowers, and a lot of hydration all round. To be honest, it’s been a little too hot to stop and take many photos - most of our attention has gone into keeping the flowers looking their freshest and getting them delivered to their new homes as quickly as possible (so not many photos to share this week, sorry!).

We had a request for sunflowers in one of our bouquets, and it ended up inspiring the whole week. We found ourselves adding sunflower yellows and soft blues throughout our Florist’s Choice bouquets, and we’ve absolutely loved the cheerful, summery combination.

What do you think? Are you a fan of yellow flowers? Tell us know in the comments!

This time last week, our Island was buzzing with sunshine, music and festival magic at the Isle of Wight Festival .

We were thrilled to be asked once again to create the floral displays for the Main Stage dressing rooms.
Each vase was packed with the very best of the season’s blooms, including the last of our beautiful peonies for this year (we’re not crying, you are!).
We hope the artists enjoyed the flowers as much as we enjoyed creating them, and that everyone had an incredible festival weekend! Did you make it to the festival this year? Who was your favourite act, or were you there to just soak up the atmosphere?

A huge thank you to the team for inviting us back - it’s always a pleasure to be part of such a special event.

Is anyone else feeling a little wilted in this heat?

While the UK is busy pretending it’s the Mediterranean, we’re keeping cool in our lovely north-facing old barn - where we’re still reaching for layers, even in summer!

The good news is that our flowers are loving it. They’re staying nice and fresh away from the heat, ready to brighten up your home.

Once your blooms arrive, here are our top tips for keeping them looking their best:

•. Give the stems a fresh trim before popping them in a vase
• Fill your vase with cool, fresh water
•Add the flower food provided
•Keep them somewhere cool, away from direct sunlight and radiators
•Refresh the water daily and give the stems a little trim every few days.

A little extra care goes a long way and will help you enjoy your flowers for as long as possible!

Now, if only someone could pop us in a cool vase with a sachet of flower food…

One of our favourite weeks of the year, and for good reason. This is the season when British flowers really show off.

We love filling the studio with locally grown blooms at this time of year - think beautifully scented sweet peas, frilly garden roses, colourful snapdragons, and all the gorgeous seasonal twirly treasures that have travelled just a few miles to get to us.

If we could use British flowers all year round, we absolutely would. The reality is that Mother Nature has her own schedule, and British growing seasons don’t always line up with what our clients need. So while we’re proudly using as many local flowers as possible right now, we also rely on our wonderful growers and suppliers overseas to bring us the freshest blooms throughout the year.

For us, it’s not about choosing one or the other - it’s about celebrating what’s in season, supporting British growers when we can, and always creating beautiful flowers for our customers.

So here’s to muddy boots, early mornings cutting the freshest stems, buckets overflowing with British blooms, and a season that never lasts quite long enough.

Happy British Flowers Week!
