Cottage Flowers, Illminster Full Description
We are passionate about what we do and our love for colour, our countryside and all things floral serve as inspiration for all of our distinct designs; from charming, rustic and typically English to something a little more contemporary. The team at Cottage Flowers, Ilminster have the imagination and experience to provide show stopping creations to make any event or occasion truly special. Please take a look through our site and visit us in our lovely historic town. Be inspired by the wonderful scents and luxurious seasonal flowers, plants, foliages and other goodies of a proper English florist. At first glance you might think Cottage Flowers is just a little up-market flower shop – but I can assure you it is so much more. It is a gem! Not only do they have the most spectacular range of cut flowers and pot plants you could wish for, they provide expert advice and exceptional care. However, what makes them stand out even more is their remarkable creativity and willingness to design and construct the most magical displays that wouldn’t look out of place in a Cathedral or at the Ritz. From a single flower to a table design for a dinner party; from modest window display for a country church – right on upwards to the most elaborate flower festival or glittering event, Angie, Jacalyn or Holly will understand your needs and provide the most perfect arrangement to suit your setting. Finding and getting to know Cottage Flower six years ago was one of the best things I have ever done. They are amazing, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Sue Croft, Chulmleigh, Devon.

Cottage Flowers took control of all the necessary arrangements, in terms of design and planning, and liaison with the venue. It meant we didn't have to worry about any of the details. It was a great relief! They were very creative and totally reliable. We would recommend them without any hesitation.

I felt I was really listened to and provided with appropriate options and advice. The colours in the flowers matched the theme for the wedding perfectly and the service was outstanding. The service went over and beyond, the tables were beautifully dressed and our own candles were placed beautifully by Cottage Flowers in with their flowers. Nothing was too much trouble, I added to the order the day before the wedding with no problem at all. They are brilliant!

I booked Cottage Flowers relatively late for my wedding having had a chat with Angie and feeling completely reassured about her professionalism and passion for her work. I then met with Jacalyn who was excellent in interpreting, advising and suggesting ideas. I had no doubt when I left their beautiful shop that the flowers and service would be superb and so they proved to be. Holly and Jacalyn's work exceeded my expectations and added so much to the day. A very personal service. Thank you.

The wedding boquets were utterly gorgeous...
The wedding boquets were utterly gorgeous, right down to the colours, style, textures it was how I visualised but better. Very special and such talented ammenible florists, very accommodating of my wishes and the service was spot on, good communication throughout and visual pics helped to establish ideas and we built on that to create a truly bespoke service. The flowers were delivered on time, with a smile and even a card from all the ladies at the shop. A very happy bride! Fantastic!

I had a very strong idea of what I wanted and had brought several photos of ideas I'd seen. We spoke about colours, looking at a range of flowers and finally sketched out an idea. It was a really calm and relaxing experience and I knew my flowers would look amazing as the team came across as extremely experienced. The flowers were even better than I thought! My bouquet was the star. Colours were stunning, the shape was beautiful and it smelt gorgeous.

After a bad experience with another florist Cottage not only took our wedding on with fairly short notice, they listened to us, were flexible, friendly & completely surpassed our expectations both leading upto & on the day. My flowers were beautiful & better than I could ever have imagined. Everyone commented on them & people were arguing over who could take home the table flowers! Their service was both friendly & professional & I cannot recommended highly enough.

Cottage flowers were absolutely outstanding throughout the whole process.They drew sketches when we described ideas adding to our ideas with lots of extra touches. They showed us photos of flowers and ideas to make sure they had the correct colours and themes. They took samples of our bridesmaid dress colours to match some flowers in. They went above and beyond creating beautiful hand made dream catchers they hung from trees at our venue. The flowers made our wedding stunning and perfect!

FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

We did a fab little wedding for a lovely local couple who we knew well, they got married in Scotland! We said 'We'll come!' and they said yes! A lovely 'little' Scottish castle which we dressed with masses of foliage and tartan fabric plus plenty of spring Narcissi and Thistle which we knew would travel well with us in our hand luggage as they will last ages without water. Anything is possible!
