Hi,

Hi, I just wanted to send a big thank you to Sandra for the perfect flowers for my mums funeral, they were perfect and I know my mum would have loved them. Everyone admired the main spring woodland display and the jars were a lovely gift to be able to give to some close friends and family members after the wake.

Thank you very much.

Hi there,

I just wanted to say a huge thank you on behalf of myself, my brother and father for the wonderful flowers you provided for my mother Wendy’s funeral yesterday.

They were perfect selections of flower and colour and provided a beautiful back drop to the funeral in North Holmwood. We then transferred the flowers to the reception at Wotton House Hotel and they worked perfectly there. We have selected the best blooms for bringing back to the house as a lovely memory of our dear mother.

Thank you again for your services.

Best regards
Sarah Speller


Dear Sandra and Team
 
Firstly, can I say a huge thank you to you and your team for preparing mum’s wreath for her funeral yesterday, Thursday 4 January 2024.
 
I know you knew mum for many years as a customer, and we could tell straight away that they were prepared with “love”.
 
Funeral flowers always look like what they say, but this floral arrangement was different; celebratory and uplifting.  It lit up the hearse on what was a very wet and dark afternoon.  Mum was born in Scotland and we were so pleased you were able to source some “thistles”, but also incorporated her final wishes of white roses and gypsophila which were in her wedding bouquet.  I know mum would have been thrilled with the arrangement.
 
So once again, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
 
With kind regards
 
Helen

Hello,

Just a quick note to say thank-you for the beautiful flowers for my Mum's, Sandra Gladys Thomas, funeral on 10th October.

The Sunflower Mix Casket Spray looked absolutely spectacular and was a lovely tribute to her.

Thanks once again,

Flowers by Elaine are fabulous.

They supplied the florals for our wedding day and did so to perfection.

From the very first meeting, to the wedding day they were amazing. So professional and gave so much support and ideas when I wasn’t sure what to go for.

On the day our flowers were stunning and everything we hoped they would be.

I can’t thank the team enough and I love my flowers so much we are having them preserved so we can continue to enjoy them forever!

Thank you

Dear Sandra, Elaine & all the lovely ladies who helped to do the flowers at my daughter, Ella’s wedding on Friday.

I cannot tell you how much we appreciate you. The floral bouquets were exactly what Ella was hoping for, the table florals & ceremony plinths were stunning. We had so many people say how gorgeous the flowers were on the day, they really were.

You were all so wonderful to work with, thank you very much.

Hi Gemma, Elaine & Sandra

We are just back from honeymoon and wanted to drop you a line to say a massive thank you for the exceptional flowers you did for our wedding. The ceremony room looked absolutely magical and the bouquets and centre pieces were just stunning. So many of our guests commented on how wonderful the flowers were and you really captured the colour scheme and modern vibe that we were going for. Also a particular thank you to Gemma - you were incredibly helpful and responsive from the first meeting we had with you and throughout the process. We were very grateful for all your help throughout.

Please let us know if you would like a more formal review and we will happily provide one.

Thank you again for helping make our day so very special :)

Dear Flowers by Elaine,

Thank you for the absolutely stunning floral displays for our Mother’s funeral and Service of Thanksgiving- they were superb.

Mum would have loved your choice of blooms, the enormous lilies and the way you incorporated orange Birds of Paradise into the creations, without it looking odd! What skill you have!

We are very grateful to you for the excellent customer service, delivery to the church and passing the bill on to Sherlocks so that we had several less things to worry about organising.

We are very grateful.

Dear Sandra,

This is a huge and heartfelt thank you for the beautiful floral displays you created for Emily and Chris's wedding; they were exactly what they had wanted. I believe you were able to achieve this from your years of experience, which shone through in all our meetings. Please pass our thanks to Gemma, and the rest of the Elaine's team, for everything you did to give them what they describe as the best day of their lives. Your support throughout was invaluable. With the warmest of wishes, Rosie Francis.'

Dear “Flowers by Elaine”

You supplied the flowers for my mother’s funeral (Jan 19th with Sherlocks as the Undertaker) Sorry I’ve been slow in contacting you, but I just wanted to say how lovely the flowers looked (large casket sheath in white and yellow from all the family). Several people commented on them. Just looking at them was an uplifting experience on a sad occasion.

And I would also like to say thank you for the monthly vase of flowers you sent to mum at Deepdene care centre for the last few years. For a lot of the time I was unable to visit but they brightened up her room. And I believe when she was sitting in the lounge she had them placed in there so she could carry on enjoying them!


Dear  Elaine, 

Thank you  for the beautiful flower arrangement that you or a staff member made for the husband's coffin on Tuesday. It was perfect, the right size for the coffin, the right style - not too formal and a delightful mix of flowers.
I went to the grave today and they, especially the roses, are standing up well to the frost.

Thank you again,
Helen Mardell

 


I just wanted to express my gratitude for the absolutely gorgeous blue and yellow casket spray you composed for the service for my friend - I couldn't have been more pleased (and it was much admired which was additionally pleasing).

Many, many thanks.
Patricia Malcher


Dear all,

Yesterday you delivered a hand tie to 20 Norbury Way in Bookham (ordered by Janet Meyer) containing a mix of red and white roses, spray carnations etc. The hand tie was for me – their daughter – and they gave it to me yesterday afternoon when I went over there to help prepare dinner. I just wanted to say a huge thank you. Your hand ties are always beautiful, but I think you excelled yourselves this time. It looks so glorious and the mix is inspired, even down to the robin redbreast hovering within the stems. I have transferred the flowers into a big vase and it is taking pride of place in my lounge.

I know it is probably a bit unconventional to email you, but this gift from mum and dad came as such a lovely surprise and I wanted to make sure to thank you too for the part you played in putting it together. It will be a joy going into the lounge over Christmas and new year and seeing such a thoughtful and beautiful display. Wishing you all a peaceful Christmas (I bet you need a rest!) and very best wishes for the new year.

Wishing you all a peaceful Christmas (I bet you need a rest!) and very best wishes for the new year.
Thank you again Lesley

 

 


Hey Gemma and Elaine,

I hope you are all well. I just wanted to say a massive thank you on behalf of myself and my new husband (still not used to that!) we had the most amazing day made only better by your beautiful flowers! I have attached lots of photos from the day some of the bouquets, the aisle, the Evelyn suite and then just some nice ones of us on the day for you guys to see. I will be tagging some more pictures on my Instagram which I hope is okay!

Best wishes

Hi Elaine,

I am so embarrassed it has taken me so long to write this email but I wanted to say a huge huge thank you for our beautiful wedding flowers, they were absolutely incredible and so much nicer than I had even pictured, I had so many complements on the day and more from friends back here in Australia who've seen pictures of the day.

Thank you again so so much

Dear Elaine and Gemma,

We just wanted to send a huge thank you for the absolutely stunning flowers you provided for our wedding.  I know we were asking for something a bit different to what you had created before, but everything was perfect, exactly as we’d hoped! Your attention to the smallest detail and support with practise arrangements was so appreciated - I cannot praise your service and professionalism enough.  So many of our guests commented on how beautiful the flowers were and I can honestly say it was when the bouquets were dropped off that the tears started - I was so happy with them.

Thank you again,
Nikki & Iain


Hi Sandra

I just wanted to thank you for the glorious flowers – they really were beautiful and adorned the casket and later the cemetery so well. A wonderful combination of colours and flowers. I see you used eucalyptus which by chance was quite appropriate as Mike Hill had spent some time in Australia! Very grateful.

Kind regards,
Carol


Hi Elaine, Sandra & team

We just wanted to extend a huge thank you for our beautiful flowers and decorations for our wedding on Sunday at Wotton House. You captured my vision for the flowers perfectly, they took my breath away when I first saw them.

We had so many compliments, especially on my bouquet and the blossom arch which has really added to our photos. It’s also lovely to be able to share the flowers with family & friends and enjoy them this week. I’ve sent my bouquet to be dried and set in resin so that I can keep it forever.

Dear Elaine, THANK YOU so very much for the truly beautiful R.A.F. Roundel you did for my brother, Wally's, Requiem Mass yesterday, Friday, 9th. It must have taken many hours of painstaking work and both appearance and perfume were lovely. It arrived in good time and the man who brought it was quiet and respectful.  If I lived in Dorking I would use your company for my Requiem.  Many people commented on the beauty and mix of the flowers and many photos taken.  i'm sure you took one before sending it. I hope so because if your photographic skills are at as high a standard as your floral ones, it would be lovely - Many thanks again, with all good wishes, God bless you and your lovely work, Margaret Armstrong


May I thank you for the lovely flowers etc . you delivered to my Sister Mrs. Ivy Chitty. on the occasion  of her 98th. Birthday. She was very pleased indeed.

I just want to say a big thankyou for my birthday flowers sent to me from Robert Hart. The flowers are absolutely beautiful and I can't stop looking at them. The wine and chocolates are going down well too!!! It was such a lovely surprise as I spent the day on my own due to this awful time. I would also like to say that the delivery man was so lovely and he needs a mention too.

Thankyou again and I hope you all stay safe and keep well.

Dear Sandra

My family and I wish to send you a very big thank you for the beautiful flowers you and your team arranged on my mother's willow coffin. They looked stunning. I was so grateful that you understood exactly what I was looking for in terms of an arrangement and thank you for your sensitivity at a very difficult time for us. Before the committal family and friends placed on the coffin very small sprigs of rosemary taken from my mother's garden, a fitting final goodbye.  

Once again, thank you so much

Dear Elaine,

This is just to say how beautiful the flowers looked at our wedding lunch.    We thought the large vase by the lift was spectacular and the little bouquets on the tables were just perfect.    I managed to give all of them away to guests and have had feedback about how beautiful they still looked yesterday!    The colours were just right as well - thank you so much.

Kind regards,
Aurea and Roger

 


I just wanted to say, I have ordered  several bouquets from you recently. They are always to a incredibly high standard, I've had so many compliments on all of them. Keep up the good work. I would recommend you to anyone.

Thank you.

Well done. Kind regards

The amazing work they did in creating our STUNNING wedding flowers was a dream come true. The beautiful, elegant and classy flowers they provided for us were beyond anything we could have ever imagined. They made our dream wedding vision come to life. Every single flower they arranged, every bouquet, every centrepiece, everything they created for our wedding was perfection. Our photographs clearly show off their beauty and we had the most perfect setting for our wedding. The blossom trees we absolutely fell in love with and they made an outstandingly beautiful ceremony room even more beautiful – I didn’t even think that was possible. The amount of comments we have received about their stunning floral work is a credit to what fantastic florists they are!

Hi

I just wanted to drop you a little note to say a massive Thank you for the flowers you provided for my daughters wedding at Wotton House. The beautiful floral arrangements, brides bouquet, bridemaid's posies, men's and pageboy button holes and all that you did. Your eye for the detail and the scope of matching to the scheme was spot on - no wonder you are a preferred supplier to the venue (rightly deserved and not an ounce of complacency from you as a result!) The flowers are such a key part of the look and you just knew what Zoe wanted and was able to direct her with the right choices and deliver exactly what she wished for. 
Thank you so much! I thought I would share a couple of photos with you

Best Wishes

In the short space of time we had to plan you were amazing. On the day the flowers were so beautiful and the attention to every small detail just perfect.
I know that Harriet will be writing but I had to let you know that I could not recommend you highly enough.

I just wanted to drop you a note to say how beautiful the flowers were that you organised for my mother's 70th birthday at Wotton House. WOW - absolutely stunning. 
your service was impeccable, the displays incredible and I hope everything went smoothly re returning to collect the vases. 
the flowers were much commented on and we had great delight driving home with car boots full of beautiful blooms and moving them to their new home at my mother's in Reigate. Her front room looked like a florist for nearly 2 weeks :) 
Thanks again Elaine - any testimonials I would be very happy to provide if you would like any 

Kind regards and a truly happy Christmas to you

Having had a recent awful experience with an Interflora florist where I live in Devon, I was advised to speak direct with Flowers By Elaine by a local funeral director to discuss my requirements for my brother's funeral in Dorking. 
Not wanting a similar occurrence, I was apprehensive when I arrived for the service, but I need not have been! The floral tribute was fantastic and not only that but Elaine also sent another floral spray to make up for our previous disappointment. My wife and I were overcome with this wonderful gesture and we felt that we must put a testimonial on this website in appreciation of the fantastic customer service we received from Elaine and her staff. I would highly recommend everyone in the Dorking area to support this excellent florist.

Dear Elaine and Sandra, 
This is just a quick note to say thank you so much for all of your help and advice up to our wedding last Sunday. We absolutely loved our wedding flowers from the bridal bouquet, the table centre pieces and the button holes. 
We have been so impressed with the whole service from booking to how helpful you were on the big day and how long you waited to ensure that you handed me my bridal bouquet. Thanks to you we have found the booking of the flowers one of the simplest and therefore the least stressful of all of our wedding arrangements. 
We would wholeheartedly recommend you to anyone looking for any form of floral arrangements, as helpful, reasonable and professional. 
Thank you so much for everything, in particular your wedding card and rose which was a lovely touch. 
Kindest regards

Dear Elaine,

Many thanks for the exquisite table decorations you created for my 80th birthday. The table in the Temple room at Wooton House Hotel looked so pretty and set the scene for a magical evening for me and my family. The ladies in the group were delighted to take home one of the arrangements and are determined to keep them for as long as possible. This will not be too difficult as the flowers in the arrangements were very fresh. Thank you also for the selection of blooms in subtle colours which set the mood for the evening although the ensuing humour of the party did make it very lively and happy event.

I shall certainly recommend you to my friends.

Regards,

I wanted to send you a huge thank you for the most beautiful flowers but also a massive thanks for making the whole experience of working with you both such a pleasure. Business is business but what has made you both so special has been your personal touch and kindness. 

Wishing you both all the best and I hope we will see you at some stage in the future.

Kindest Regards,

I just wanted to thank you for the amazing flowers. Delivered on time and looking stunning. A real credit to the occasion and to Flowers by Elaine. They were a talking point and they did not go un noticed.

1940s Evening - 28th April in aid of DMRC Headley Court at Danbies 

When first considering the event and what we wanted to achieve, we had a vision of how we wanted to create the right atmosphere and from my garbled disciption you somehow managed to produce table centrepieces which were just perfect for us. The jugs of flowers were just exactly what we had wanted, the red and blue displays really brought a show of colour. The tables looked amazing and all of the flowers were taken by the end of the evening with people leaving a donation for them which helped us boost funds a little as well. 

Thank you again for your assistance and support in making our event be a success.

Thank you so much for the huge amount of help you have given in organising the flowers and also for the flowers themselves. They were just absolutely beautiful and far more than I had expected, I was delighted with them. If I have any good pictures of the flowers then I will send them onto you.

I just wanted to say thank you so much for the beautiful flowers for our wedding, I absolutely loved them and had so many compliments including the Rev'd saying they were the best he had ever seen in 40 years of being in the church! Thanks a lot for sorting the ivy for the cake as well, made it look very special.

They were truly beautiful, and we had some really nice comments from some of the guests on them. Mine and the bridesmaids bouquets were beautiful, and went perfectly with what we were wearing. Your service also was excellent, and really put me at ease. Continue doing what you are already doing!

I just wanted to write to thank you so much for delivering the most beautiful bunch of white roses and lilies 2 and a half weeks ago. My husband arranged for them to be sent for our wedding anniversary and they made my day! They have only just turned now, having brightened the house for over 2 weeks. The guy that delivered them was lovely as well.... Thank you!!

"Hi Elaine, 

I just wanted to thank you for the incredible job you did on our wedding flowers. 

Everything was absolutely beautiful and you really did deliver the most stunning bouquet, corsages and boutonnieres I have ever seen. This reaction isn't just mine alone, my whole family spent the day commenting on the gorgeous arrangements and how they completely reflected who we are as a couple. I could rave on and on about how much I loved the wildness of my bouquet, and it truly felt as if I had wandered out into some magical garden and picked everything that morning. And as for the calla lilies that the men received - the colour and texture were just beautiful. They almost looked like they were carved out of wood, which made them feel both masculine and bridal at the same time. My dad was particularly enamoured with the heather that framed the frogs, giving them that lily pond look. And yes, my Mom and Grandmother felt extremely special in their corsages. They wore them around the house for the last few days and this morning, when we all realised the flowers had seen better days, the two of them removed the flowers and kept the pearl bracelet which they will both wear at my Grandma's 90th celebration in just a few weeks. 

Aidan and I would really be pleased to have photos of the flowers posted to your website, if you feel they will be of use to your business. The only photos we have at the moment are non-professional, non-posed ones, so they differ somewhat from the other examples on your site. However, in the event you'd find it helpful to post pictures of your flowers "in action" I have attached them here. If you would like higher res images, please do let me know! 

The only other thing I should mention is that the BBC's One Show was at our wedding and filmed a segment about being a best man that is scheduled to air this coming Tuesday, August 24. I have no idea if the interviews were conducted before or after the boutonnieres were used, or even how close the camera zoomed into the flowers. But it may be worth watching the show to see if your work is caught on camera. 

Thank you again for doing such a spectacular job! And if your team happened to take any photos of the flowers before they were sent to Wotton House, I would love any images you could send my way."

Best, 
Elizabeth

"I would like to let you know how pleased I was with your service. I had planned a 60th surprise party for my partner, and 2 weeks before hand went in to Flowers by Elaine to order flowers for the tables. I was very impressed with your assistant Sandra, who was very informative and advised me on everything I needed to know about the flowers. 

Days leading up to the party, we had very heavy snowfall and I was quite concerned about the flowers arriving on the day, but two days before the event, Sandra phoned me to assure me the flowers were in stock and all ready for the party and would be delivered to Wotton House on the day. 

As promised, the flowers arrived and looked amazing, we had lots of comments and enquiries about them and I felt you should know how pleased I was with your service, and would certainly use Flowers by Elaine again. 

Thanking you again for making our day special."

The tables looked lovely and the roses in Helen's bouquet and the flowers used in the pedestal displays were beautiful. As it was quite a dull afternoon, all the candles were lit for the ceremony and the storm lanterns and the decorations around the candles looked magical."
