Current Testimonials for 2023
Hello Don and Phil,
I just wanted to write and say how gorgeous the flowers were for Georgia and Matty’s wedding. You captured so beautifully the abundance, colour and joyfulness that they wanted. Each and every arrangement was a show stopper. The bridal bouquets were so chic and neat- Georgia left waving hers out of the roof of the car…
Thank you for all your skill, talent and hard work. Many of our guests took flowers home and it’s a lovely thought that they will continue to provide pleasure after the event.
Warmest wishes
Kay Stevenson - 15th August 2023
Lady Henrietta and John's wedding flowers were absolutely amazing and so so special. Absolutely exactly what I had wished for with free flowing and natural designs. Basically I have no other words to describe what you did for us. The presentation is second to none.

Just wanted to say a HUGGGE thank you for Saturday just gone. The flowers looked absolutely stunning and my mum has managed to take almost all of them home. Her house looks and smells incredible now 😃 Thanks again!
Tory Childs-Carlile x 1st August 2023
Just wanted to drop a short note over to say thanks for the help over the weekend, obviously we were very lucky with the weather and the flowers looked great and really helped set the scene for the wedding.
Toby and Valentia Spittle - 25th May 2023
Fantastic from start to finish, I can't recommend Bearded Florista enough!! Great communication, so knowledgeable and helpful, nothing was too much trouble and they really took the time to understand what we wanted down to the last detail. Phil and Don are total experts, so creative and artistic, and just the friendliest people you could hope to meet. Our wedding guests couldn't stop complimenting our flowers (more than one said they were the best flowers they'd ever seen at a wedding!) and we were totally thrilled with them, everything came out better than we could have imagined. It was all was seamless and organised -
Hetty and Nicholas Saunders - April 2023
Dear favourite Bears! You two are such fun and we are so pleased you could stay for lunch. The flowers were, as always glorious and the Hilda bags a triumph. We love the leather key tags, really super, thank you, Very much love, The Hilda's XXXX
