CONDOLENCES ARRANGEMENT
I was contacted with a request for a floral arrangement that was appropriate for a friend whose Dad had died suddenly.
Since the gift was from the whole family I wanted to create something bigger than usual. I also wanted the arrangement to be both male appropriate and outlast the eventual fading of real flowers.
This 50cm wreath ticked all the right boxes. Evergreen faux florals with a hint of mauve. Most of all I wanted the grieving family to have a lasting floral arrangement after the real flowers had withered and died.
The whole family gave their seal of approval. Job done.

"We received this beautiful wreath and couldn't believe how real it looked though it was made from artificial flowers. We were so impressed we contacted Marlene and ordered a DAD flower arrangement to replace the dead flowers on Dad 's grave."

FRONT DOOR WREATH DECOR
I had this pretty wreath in my Etsy shop. When I received the purchase notification I was so thrilled. It was one of a kind and I hoped it would bless someone's home. It was a challenge all the way from my hands to my client, Jeannie. I was so thankful that I always send items in tracked post. We had mixed messages about its location once it left the UK and we were both concerned that it was lost in the system. But thank God it was delivered eventually, later than normal but fully intact.

Message: Great news Marlene! I received the most beautiful hand made heart I have ever seen today this afternoon. It’s gorgeous. It matches perfectly to my flowers outside and my door mat with the words LOVE on it. I will send a photo tomorrow . The way you packaged it was practically as beautiful as the heart wreath itself. It was so worth waiting for. Thank you so much. I wanted to get this Email out to you as soon as I was able to do so . I did not want you to worry anymore. That was just the Enemy trying to stop us both from a blessing. It is almost 9:00 pm in the Chicago area and probably you are sleeping in the United Kingdom, but you will wake up to good news.
GOD bless you Marlene . ❤️🙏

TWENTY FIRST BIRTHDAY
A grandmother living in Jamaica contacted me to order a surprise floral gift for her granddaughter's twenty first birthday. She gave me carte blanche wanting something a young woman would like.
I knew due to lock down regulations she would not be having a party, so I wanted to create something she would treasure. I asked her gran to confirm her favourite colour, which was pink and if she had any others. No.
Only pink.
I had just received my first batch of eco-friendly kraft hat boxes and this just seemed the perfect container to use.
Also I had been saving these gorgeous silk ranunculus for a special occasion and decided this was it.
I thought this would be such a straightforward arrangement to do but it took the longest time to create the colour aesthetics that I wanted.
When I sent the photos of the arrangement my clients was really happy and convinced that her granddaughter would also. Her granddaughter texted me on her birthday to say she was so excited to receive the bouquet and absolutely loved it! Yay. Job done. It is such a thrill when all parties are over the moon with your work. Thank God.

" I had no idea what to order and being so far away I needed to entrust someone to represent me. Marlene exceeded my expectations. I was thrilled with what she made. When my granddaughter called me happy and excited it was perfect. Thank you so much Marlene. You made our day."

SURPRISE FIFTIETH BIRTHDAY ARRRANGEMENT
Lock down put paid to a fiftieth birthday surprise holiday and I was asked to create a floral arrangement that would mark the occasion.
My initial idea was to create a large statement centrepiece but it just didn't seem the right option. Instead an arrangement incorporating the number 50 felt more appropriate.
I ascertained what were her favourite colours and since it was a May month birthday, I also wanted to give the feeling of Spring. I am so happy with these floral numbers. They just needed a box frame to complete the gift.

BABY SHOWER GIFT
How to give something meaningful and lasting for a colleague's baby shower?. I was told she already knew her baby was a girl.
It was a happy find to come across these mauve hydrangeas. I thought a pretty mauve wreath would fit easily into a baby girl nursery decor and still look fab as she grew and transitioned into a older girl.

CHURCH BLESSING BRIDAL BOUQUET
This bouquet was for the bride to carry at their intimate Church blessing the day before the wedding day.
In order not to reveal the wedding colours ahead of their big day, I designed this all white bouquet.

FUNERAL TRIBUTE
There was a sudden and unexpected death in the family. A sister overseas went from healthy, to critical to dying in a few short weeks. I wanted to send a floral tribute to express our sympathy and solidarity.
The purple roses in this arrangement were soft, silky and so light-weight. They were ideal for an international dispatch.

FIFTIETH BIRTHDAY
Commissioned to create an arrangement for a lady's fiftieth birthday.
I know this age landmark can be a bit depressing for some.
But I wanted to say becoming fifty is liberating. It's a time to embrace who you are and celebrate life.
I did this floral numbers display, bursting with colour.

I have ordered flowers from Marlene before. She is always so easy to talk to, always does a great job and always complete faster than I expect."

NEW HOME
A single type of flower can make as gorgeous an arrangement as an array of flowers. I filled this cube vase to overflowing with lavender for a new home gift.

" It is so thrilling to receive flowers when you weren't expecting them and this house warming gift from my friend was a lovely gesture. They were hand delivered by my friend in a florist gift bag. Both of us were happy with the quality and impressed with the lushness of the arrangement. I also like that the flowers looked so realistic."

JUST BECAUSE
A natural wicker heart wreath was decorated with coral tones using silk ranunculus and beading. This was a personal gift with no particular reason in mind, except knowing the recipient would like and appreciate the gesture. Sometimes giving a floral gift "Just Because..." can be one of the nicest things to do.

PRETTY HEART WREATH
Hearts are a symbol of love but I think it doesn't have to be limited to romance. Nor do does a pretty heart of mini pink roses be only for wedding flowers. I created this wreath for a birthday present.

LASTING FRIENDSHIP
What to give a close friend who you don't get to see often?
This was my challenge. I always regard wreaths as a symbol of unending love. They are also practical and can be used in several ways as décor to a home. This friend was also a red-head with a bright personality. I chose colours that reflected "her" as a personality.

"We usually tried to meet up every summer but due to my ill health, we hadn't seen each other for over two years. As we parted my friend gave me a gift bag. When I got home I opened the package and inside was this beautiful wreath. It was such a lovely surprise. Loved it." Christine, Rugby, UK

THINKING OF YOU
This order was a "toughie". The request for an arrangement to be sent to a work colleague who received a negative diagnosis out the blue, and was about to start treatment.
I wanted to convey light in the gloom that had appeared out of nowhere. I was so happy with the end result. The combination of purple, pink and cerise is an uplifting cocktail.

SAD FAREWELL
A heartfelt tribute to a beautiful soul. I received a request to create a tribute arrangement for the funeral of a lifelong friend.
There was so much love expressed that I knew it had to be a heart.
The colours seem impractical for a grave but when all the fresh flowers had dried up, this tribute remained a symbol of lasting love and friendship.

BOHO WREATH
I was asked to create an arrangement for a customer whose work colleague had recently left to get married. She was having a Bohemian themed wedding.
In keeping with the Boho theme I opted to use a natural willow wreath. I decorated it with lush green foliage interspersed with lovely white cosmos, baby's breath and stephanotis flowers. I wanted to give the feel of the natural world gently invading their living space. The three quarter style gave it an on trend look.
