We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sophie to anyone

We met at Sophie a wedding fair and loved her approach to everything from the start. She’s very professional and understood exactly what we wanted for our flowers just from a couple of phone calls and emails. The flowers on the day were beautiful and we had so many compliments on them. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sophie to anyone in need of a florist!

Sophie's design ideas for our day were wonderful

I can not recommend Sophie enough. We met her at the chosen wedding fair and the designs she had on display were just beautiful. We wanted a very autumnal wedding with lots of foliage and burnt oranges and Sophie's design ideas for our day were wonderful. We had a meeting with her at the venue and she did such a good job of putting our theme ideas into the floristry. Communication was great especially as we had to postpone due to COVID more than once but we felt so supported every step of the way. We also used her squashed flower service for my bouquet and we have two beautiful frames that picked out each of the flowers in the bouquet. If you're looking for a friendly, reliable, professional and super skilled florist for your big day. Look no further. Thank you so much Sophie. You made our day truly special and all our guests were commenting weeks after on how beautiful the flowers were. xx

Brilliant service, guidance & advice

Sophie & Bee supplied our wedding flowers & designs in Aug '21. Brilliant service, guidance & advice - and price too. It's quite rare I've found a company so engaging & helpful from the start (we knew v little about flowers & designs). No hesitation to recommend, I'm sure we'll use this company again for an event in the future.

Sophie is an incredible florist

Sophie is an incredible florist and created the most beautiful flowers for our wedding day and managed to capture exactly what I was thinking and more! The bouquets were stunning, the button holes looked amazing and the arrangements on the tables at the venue were just perfect. I wish we could do it all over again. I will be recommending you to everyone I speak to. If you are looking for a florist who can create exactly what is in your head, all whilst being sustainable, eco friendly and a pleasure to deal with... Sophie is the obvious choice.

"She nailed the brief"

We planned a last minute Civil Partnership in May when we were just emerging from lockdown. Sophie was amazing at pulling together beautiful flowers at short notice for us! She nailed the brief of white minimalism with splashes of colour, even finding black inkwells and sage/white candles at little notice. Sophie was a pleasure to work with and I'd highly recommend her floral designs!

Everything looked incredible

Sophie did our wedding flowers for us and I can honestly say we were so happy with everything she provided. Sophie was attentive, informative and such a lovely person to be around - she really put us both at ease. Our wedding flowers showed how much passion Sophie has for flowers and she created beautiful, individual pieces. Everything looked incredible, better than we could've imagined! From beginning to end everything went smoothly and turned out so well - we highly recommend Sophie!

The flowers were stunning

Sophie did our wedding flowers- from posies to pin holes to pedalstals to candlearbras and garlands- she was professional in her approach but also incredibly friendly and willing to help shape the vision we had. Nothing seemed to be too much effort despite some relatively complicated logistics. The flowers were stunning and got heaps of compliments! She is exactly the type of person you want on your ‘team’ when organising such an important day.

Every step of the journey, from planning ideas to delivering the final pieces, Sophie was professional, creative and good humoured. I loved my flower crown and wore it the whole day and evening! The flowers were beautiful and the displays perfect. Thank you so much ❤️💐🌺🌸
