'...I am not sure how to even begin to say the biggest thank you to you, Suzie, for all of the gorgeous flowers. The arrangements in the church and the tent were simply magnificent and our bouquets the perfect balance of cottage informality and wedding glamour - that pop of reddy pink in my bouquet was perfect! Really, everything was stunning and we have had so many lovely comments from people about how wonderful the flowers were...'

EVENTS & STYLING
Receptions, celebrations, private lunches & dinners, charity events, concerts, festivals, art shows….all manner of events can be made that little more special and memorable with the right choice of flowers.
​
Florestina has worked on many different projects and in venues all across Ireland.
Briefs have included wild flowers to reflect the poetry of Seamus Heaney for the opening of Homeplace in Bellaghy, the creation of a ‘Green Goddess’ mannequin display for a local fashion company, a styled shoot for a jewellery business and flowers for a Royal visit. Florestina was honoured to be asked to provide flowers in St Anne's Cathedral, Belfast for a Service of Reflection following the death of Queen Elizabeth 11 and in the presence of King Charles 111.
​
Florestina considers it an honour to provide flowers for funerals and memorial services. Flowers can convey all sorts of emotions and express that which is hard to find words for. My funeral flowers are fully compostable, and suitable for green burial sites.​​​
