Margaret did our wedding flowers on the 29th December 2018. From first meeting her she was so professional kind and understanding to what I wanted. I didn’t really have much of an idea just general winter flowers and certain colours which Margaret transformed into the most beautiful flowers. When I first saw my bouquet on the wedding morning I started crying. They was everything I could of ever wished for. We added more flowers along the way and it was never to much trouble and quickly sorted out by Margaret. Margaret did all our button holes, bouquets, ceremony table, top table and all our centre pieces and the price was so reasonable for the quality and standard and professionalism delivered. We gave our centre pieces away and used a couple for our grandparents graves who couldn’t be with us on our special day and they lasted for weeks and so many people made comments about how beautiful they was. Margaret also delivered the bridal party flowers to my home on the wedding morning before travelling to the groom and family at the venue and delivering their flowers We can’t thank you enough for everything you did for us on our special day ❤️ Holly and Ryan West xx More...

Margaret did the flowers for our wedding. They were absolutely stunning and I was over the moon with them. Margaret clearly has a passion for her job, and this clearly shows in the end product. The love, effort and care was evident for all to see in our wedding flowers. From the initial consultation right through to the wedding day, Margaret was friendly, informative and professional. Thank you for being such a special part of our wedding day. More...

Margaret provided the bouquets, button holes and table centrepieces for our wedding.

She made the whole experience so easy, her knowledge of flowers meant we ended up with really unique, beautiful arrangements! So much more than we could ever have imagined.

She thinks of all the little things and was so helpful in putting it all together on the day itself.

We cannot recommend her highly enough!

Margaret and team.....delivered the most beautiful arrangements, bouquets and button holes for our daughters wedding. She listened to what she (we! ) wanted, provided ideas and was never pushy. We felt completely comfortable and at ease with her.
The flowers were simply stunning and we received so many compliments from guests about how amazing the flowers were. I have never seen a bridal bouquet with so many different flowers and herbs that looked different and beautiful at every angle. I adored every single item provided - Thank you so much Margaret. Would highly recommend.

Margaret was absolutely fantastic from making initial enquiries, all the way through to our BIG DAY at Hoghton Tower on the 1st April 2017 when I married my Prince! The first day I met her I knew I wanted her to do our flowers for the wedding as she was so bright and bubbly and couldn't do enough for us. I really appreciated Margaret's honesty as she advised me where to spend money and equally where to save it. The room looked absolutely beautiful for both the ceremony and wedding breakfast as Margaret stayed on site to turn around the venue (and even did a bit of waiting on with a beaming smile on her face - just because she fancied it :) ) Thank you so much Margaret we wouldn't have changed a thing!!!

Margaret listened to what we asked for and helped us to decide on flowers and ideas for our centre pieces and top table. She made everything so fun and exciting.

Margaret is absolutely amazing. From first contact she was right on board with producing the wonder flowers I wanted for my wedding. I didn't want a bridal bouquet like all the ones I've seen recently. I wanted unique flowers, wild and bright in my large bridal shower bouquet. My bridesmaids carried never ending circles with orchids twisted through them and the button holes and corsage's for the rest of the wedding party were perfect. Margaret kept within a tight budget and made me the most exceptional flowers, everyone commented on how unique and beautiful they were. I couldn't bear to part with them and have sent them to be preserved! Full of knowledge and great suggestions Margaret was also brilliant when a week before our wedding there was an issue with the registrar and I broke down in tears in her workshop! She's just an all round amazing person and wonderful florist to boot! I would wholeheartedly recommend Margaret at The Gilded Lily without hesitation. Exceptional. More...

Q&As

I'm passionate about flowers and I never tire of meeting lovely couples & helping to plan what is the most important event in their lives.

Over the years myself & the small team have made thousands of buttonholes, hundreds of bouquets and displays !

I completed a Masters Degree in Business Administraion back in the mid 1990's whilst working in IT. Floristry was a hobby of mine at that time with friends and family asking me to prepare their wedding flowers .... So I decided to get formal training to learn the correct techniques for wiring, bouquet construction etc & set up the business from a standing start.... The rest is history !

Great personal service, super fresh flowers, depth of experience, knowledge of many aspects of wedding planning so a valuable source of advice (do's & dont's, pitfalls to avoid). I'm also a marriage registrar for my own church so know much about the legal aspect of marriages ! Finally cost effective.....due to those reduced overheads.... Why would you not choose The Gilded Lily ?
