Violets and Velvet Full Description
Flowers should provoke memories with the scents reminding us of certain people, places and times. As a child dahlias were my favorite flower and still are. I would go to the local greengrocers to buy a bunch for my room. They were always tied with wool. Being a florist is more than a job for me. I didn’t start out as one, although it was always there in the back of my mind, my plan B. I believe you take a bit of knowledge from every job you do and my background in costume and textiles has definitely given me some skills that I use when designing floral arrangements. Flowers play such a huge part in so many celebrations. Wedding flowers should always be personal and I will always start with your ideas when designing the flowers.

Truly beautiful
Sam was amazing from start to finish! It was a joy working with her and she truly created the fairytale we had dreamed of when it came to our flowers. The colours were perfect and I will never forget how special it was to be presented my bouquet on my wedding morning. Thank you so much Sam.

the most stunning wedding flowers
Violets and Velvet provided the most stunning wedding flowers and foliage! I was quite particular with not wanting too many flowers with a focus on foliage and greenery, Sam listened and more than delivered! Sam and her colleague were also the most lovely people, working until 8:30pm before the wedding to make sure the vision was brought to life! I couldn’t recommend them enough!

phenomenal from start to finish
Sam provided all our wedding flowers. She was phenomenal from start to finish, finding out exactly what we wanted and working with us to fit our budget. The bouquets and centrepieces were simply stunning, everyone complemented them and we were able to enjoy them for a good week after.

I was honestly blown away by the flowers
Sam provided flowers and decoration for my wedding in March. I was honestly blown away by the flowers she delivered on the day...they were stunning. Absolutely exceeded all my expectations. Leading up to the wedding Sam was a pleasure to deal with and happy to talk through ideas on numerous occasions to make sure we got it just right. Sam added all the finishing touches to the venue on the big day and it all looked beautiful. I was thrilled with how it all turned out - thank you Sam!

I was absolutely thrilled with the service, advice
Sam was a delight to work with. She really listened to my ideas as I mainly wanted to use herbs such as eucalyptus, rosemary and mint with some flowers to enhance my bouquet and she more than delivered! I was absolutely thrilled with the service, advice and attention to detail that she provided for all the bouquets, button holes and table displays for my twilight wedding. I would highly recommend her. Thanks again Sam. Suzanne Marie Murphy, Saffron Walden, Essex.

Exquisite flowers and an expert florist
Sam's skill and artistic vision completely brought our wedding to life with a riot of deep, vibrant colours. I had bridesmaids in different colour dresses so was really relying on my flowers, their bouquets, to tie the whole thing together. Sam welcomed us to her home on a snowy morning in February to talk to us about our summer wedding. She really understood the look I was going for and had some really useful tips to work out how we could use the arrangements cleverly throughout the day. When we gifted the centrepieces away at the end of the evening people were sending me pictures of the flowers still thriving which speaks of the quality and freshness of the flowers. Using seasonal flowers was important to us and Sam uses height so well in her arrangements that the overall effect was spectacular. Thank you Sam!
