We are absolutely thrilled with the incredible work that Debbie has done as our wedding florist. She designed lovely bouquets and the matching buttonhole, all of which perfectly reflected our style. What truly distinguishes Debbie is her ability to capture the essence of who we are as a couple. Coming from different countries, both my husband and I were touched by the extra effort she put into researching and incorporating special cultural touches into her designs. We highly recommend Debbie as a wedding florist. Thank you, Debbie! More...

Debbie is lovely and friendly and made up a beautiful hatbox arrangement for my friend. Debbie sent me photos and a video of the arrangement so that I could see what she'd done and despite being in the middle of preparing wedding flowers (and dealing with some terrible British weather), Debbie delivered the bouquet the next day.

Wow, what can I say about Floralities?! Debbie’s work and commitment to creating something special is nothing short of amazing! I contacted Debbie to organise some flowers for a special birthday for my Mum, after thankfully seeing her brilliant work on Facebook. She absolutely went out of her way to create the most stunning floral arrangement and to make my Mum’s birthday very special. Thank you, Debbie- for being so extraordinarily accommodating and showing such kindness. 🌹 I'll of course be using Floralities again. 💙 More...

Debbie is fantastic. I was let down by my wedding florist within a few months of my wedding day and I contacted Floralities who was able to step in at short notice. Debbie created the most amazing bouquets, button hole/corsages and a flower basket full of fresh flower Petal. She also included some extra flowers (orchids and succulents) which are sentimental to me. Debbie also delivered the flowers to our venue on the day (Rockbeare Manor). We loved our flowers. They were more then we could have imagined and would 100% recommend. Xx More...

After booking our wedding at short notice I found Floralities using a Bark search. Debbie was so lovely from the outset and was really open to me sharing ideas/ photos of the type of flowers I wanted. Debbie created a gorgeous red rose bouquet and matching button hole, which she delivered to us on our wedding morning along with a lovely vase and complimentary rose petals for our flower girls.

Recommended through BARK when looking for a local florist for our wedding flowers is how we came across Deb and Floralities and chose her to do the flowers for us this November 26 2022. Never having designed my own wedding bouquet before: although seeing some designs I thought I liked, the personalised approach step by step with Deb was great to design every minute detail with her in my wedding bouquets and flowers - step by step, shape by shape, colour by colour, flower by flower, like by like, dislike by dislike we felt listened to and the end result was fantastic fresh large beautiful flowers for me and my bridal party that fitted our colour scheme beautifully. It took a lot of time and effort but 100% recommend partnering with Deb as she creates the most beautiful designs. We loved the local homely approach, being welcomed into her home in Sidmouth too to meet her and her gorgeous dog to discuss not just flowers but some of her other great contacts she knows for confetti and favours and the such like too. We had a budget and that was respected too. Great regular communication throughout helped us adapt and plan and get some fantastic flowers that will be cherished forever in memories, photos and captured in resin too to be kept close forever. All delivered on the day of the wedding to the hotel with what seemed such ease although I’m sure it wasn’t and in beautiful vases too which I could then gift straight to my girls - Debs knowledge of flowers, how to arrange, look after and store them is second to none. So pleased with the final designs x More...

There was only one choice for my wedding florist, having worked with Deb for many weddings at Sidmouth Harbour we have become great friends and I've seen many of her beautiful flowers. From start to finish she made the whole process so easy for me, especially as i find it hard to make a decision 🤣. We talked a lot about what I liked and I had complete faith in Deb to create something spectacular but WOW, I was completely blown away by my beautiful bouquet and wedding flowers 😍 It was such a lovely touch to have flowers to share with my mum too. I cannot thank you enough or recommend more highly. Perfect!! More...

Where do i begin...
A huge thank you to Debbie for making my dream become a reality and providing the most gorgeous flowers for our wedding!
I've known Debbie for a few years now, and have always loved how passionate she is with her flowers and that she really invests in all of her couples. You really do feel so special and like nothing is ever too much trouble!
We had many of phone calls over the past 2 years discussing every detail of our wedding and Debbie just nailed each and every element....even more than i could have imagined!
Debbie provided all of our bouquets, buttonholes, flower crowns, table arrangements and a garland. Each and every one i saw i was just in awe. They brought a tear to my eye when i had a first look at the table arrangements....they made the room look absolutely stunning!
I was so happy that we managed to reuse a lot of our flowers for a celebration the following day, and we gifted a lot to our families which was so special.
I cannot recommend Debbie enough - she is truly outstanding at what she does!
I will be forever grateful for everything she provided and can't wait for another occasion to come up where I'm in need of some gorgeous blooms ;)

Well, what can we say, it was a pretty bumpy journey in the beginning, but nothing to do with Deb, Covid19 struck. We met Deb in 2019 when we initially booked our wedding for July 2020. The flowers were everything to us and I had a very strong idea of what I wanted. Deb’s critique, something plain and simple, with a wow factor and boy did she deliver this. We spent a long time going through what we wanted and I was very specific that I wanted nothing other than White and Crystal. Having our wedding cancelled 3 times, eventually taking place in October 2021, Deb spent a lot of time with me, mulling over ideas and suggestions. She even tried to persuade me to change the flowers slightly, as Covid had seen costs increase considerably, but we stuck to our original plan and we were so pleased that we did. On the day Deb was amazing, she delivered above and beyond, with a stunning top table arrangement, 3 different arrangements all in glass for the tables, fantastic button holes and corsages, together with a beautiful crown and basket for my flower girl, but she certainly saved the best until last………………….. my bouquet was absolutely stunning, it certainly was plain, simple classy and delivered the wow factor. We cannot thank Deb enough for everything she did to make our flowers and day extra special and not only did I find a florist, I also gained a friend. I am pleased to say that my bouquet will be returning soon as my best friend is having some of the flowers put into a glass paper weight so I will be able to look at it every day and smile. More...

I found Debbie from the Bark app and I'm so glad I used her. Debbie really listened to all my needs and wants as a bride and delivered the most beautiful bouquets. We had meetings both in person and over the telephone, she so very friendly and helpful on every level. One thing that really stands out in my mind and impressed me on the morning of my wedding was that just a conversation over the telephone discussing what I had in mind for my centre pieces Debbie brought that forward and included them within my bridal bouquet. I just mentioned that on the table centre pieces I'm going to be having succulents and there there were succulents within my bouquet that I could also replant at home after as a keepsake! It really is the smallest things that make the whole difference. Debbie really is an amazing florist and I would recommend her to anybody! Thank you so much Debbie, I'm glad you were a part of our day xx More...

Yesterday I bought a wreath in a box as sadly this year’s workshops were cancelled due to the virus (😡😡😢😢). However, I needn’t have worried. The box contained more than enough super fresh greenery, decorations, wire and ribbon. In fact I made a wreath snd a sheaf! To complete the box was a set of very clear, fully illustrated instructions and to top it off a delicious piece of mince pie/almond slice. I felt I deserved it after working on my wreath. I spent a wonderfully creative three hours and would certainly do it again, although I hope to attend a workshop next Christmas!

Where do I even start? After seeing Debbie’s Floralities FB page I just loved her designs never thinking I would call upon her talents sooner rather than later. I asked her recently if she would be able to do a Sympathy Spray for me. We discussed the flowers that my Dad loved so much, the colours of the season and budget. Debbie’s attention to detail is second to none and the hours of dedication and work she puts in is phenomenal. The end result was simply stunning, a beautiful arrangement and when I deconstructed it after a week to put the flowers in vases it was then I saw just how much work was involved.

Q&As

I love the variety floristry provides. I love the journey of each design, from its conception to finished piece - adding those little extra elements that take from the expected to the extraordinary.

Having "retired" from my career as a legal secretary and the City of London to bring up my daughter and years later realising with a sad bump that her time at home with me would soon be at end as she spread her wings for pastures new - University and beyond - I returned to learning - only this time to indulge my passion for flowers.
Embarking on a two year City & Guilds Floristry Diploma course, I had no idea where it would lead but hoped it would open up an opportunity me - although I knew, very early on, that shop based work did not appeal to me at all.
I have enjoyed starting my own business from scratch, being supported at times by some wonderful local people and businesses and now looking forward to creating all sorts of designs for all sorts of people using the very best material - fresh, glorious flowers, foliages and plants predominantly from our lovely West Country.

I believe the passion I have for my floristry, shows in my work - and that my work should speak for itself without the need for me to try and "flog" it.
i would invite brides to look at my photos on my facebook page and to read the reviews left there and if they like what they see and read to get in touch with me to discuss any and all aspects of their wedding.
