Well how can I give them 7 stars. This is how it all started, it was the day before Valentines, I…read morelive over 5,000 miles away, I wanted something special. Sure I could go to interflora and pick from a menu of pictures like a cheap Chinese restaurant or I could enlist the help of a local florist with local knowledge and the design skills to build something out of this world. Knowing that the time zone difference was going to be a problem, it was going to have to be arranged by e-mail. There would be no pictures to look it, it would be a one off. Could it be done? My requirements were simple, I wanted something special, not a dozen red roses. I wanted lots of different colors, lots of different textures, an amazing aroma, and still for it to still shout "Happy Valentines, will you be mine, because no-one could adore you more" all over it. I also wanted different life expectancies on the flowers so that didn't all die at once. Geraldine e-mailed me back confirming my budget and a list of different flowers, foliage, their purpose and how they would meet my requirements. I said it sounded great and she let me know that I would need to pay before the flowers left the store and wording for a card. While in my office the afternoon of the 13th I realized that I had forgotten to pay and needed to do it over the phone before it was too late in the UK. I called, it was 11:30pm in the UK. Geraldine was still at her shop exhausted but professional. Took my payment, got me a vase I threw in as a request at the last minute, I e-mailed her the wording for the card and I waited in anticipation. Well, lets just say the results were amazing. Such a beautiful display and such attention to detail with hidden love hearts within the foliage, lots of special touches, enough roses to show but not overdo it. From what I hear everyone else was jealous and everyone who has seen them raves about them. I have seen pictures and I'm amazed, so much so that I am creating the first entry on Yelp for Geraldine as this is a talent to be used. Thinking back to Interflora, they serve a purpose but I felt that doing this was like having my own personal chef instead of ordering the number 6 meal at McDonalds. You know where all my flowers are coming from from now onwards.

I received the most amazing display of flowers that definitely said "Happy Valentines, will you be…read moremine, because no-one could adore you more". When they were delivered, the gentleman who delivered them gave me instructions on how to look after them and even how to transport them in my car as they were delivered to work. I admit I wasn't listening very attentively as I was so in awe of the display. Thankfully I remembered the bit about using the seatbelt and there were instructions with the card on where to top up the water. A week after I received them, I could still smell the aroma of the flowers when I entered the room. I felt very special receiving the flowers, the attention to detail was amazing. Thank you to my boyfriend for arranging something so special, but also a big thank you to the florist for making his requests exactly as he wished.

Gemma was really helpful in helping me chose the flowers I wanted, the style of bouquets and button holes and how it would all fit together. The shop is lovely, they have loads of flowers to chose from as well as little gifts and other bits and pieces. I emailed over some ideas initially then we met up and put our heads together and I then was able to leave it to them. I was pretty laid back with my flowers but I know if I had wanted more involvement that would have been fine too. They have some lovely props you can hire such as different vases and candelabras so its really helpful to know you can get all these things from one place. I would highly recommend The Lily Pad florist, its definitely worth paying them a visit.

Some of the flowers were so faultless, I had to touch them to see if they were real. And all of them were. Long-stemmed roses peeked from a small container, exquisite and sweet smelling. I definitely would have bought a bouquet if I were heading home! Like any reputable florist, Aspirations carries a range of stuffed toys, balloons, tiaras, fascinators, and vases to accompany the bespoke creations. The ladies here are quite friendly, but seemed a bit curious as to why I was browsing a flower shop without any reason to do so. Aspirations also offers a jewellery cleaning service, just ask a member of staff for more information.

One of…read morethe most refreshing things about it is the service - a very personal touch from Ms Tomlinson herself who has built the business from scratch. It is her knowledge and dedication to the industry that really shines through in this wild pink and green floral bouquet of a store. This isn't a run-off-the-mill florist offering baskets of pre picked flowers and plants fit for a student's bedroom. On the contrary it is something very unique and different; a shop where specific types of flower are bought in and sold similarly specific. Bunches and bouquets can be arranged for any occasion from a christening, to a wedding, to a wake. Even if you're not sure what flowers would be best for what occasion, rest assured Tilly Tomlinson and her more than able staff will be happy to assist. A colourful, happy shop built with love and smelling oh so beautiful.
