Had a wonderful experience with Flowers by Elaine for our wedding flowers. I wanted tropical flowers for the wedding, which I imagine is difficult to provide in England, but Flowers by Elaine absolutely delivered! They were very receptive throughout the wedding planning process making any adjustments we required quickly and efficiently. The flowers looked beautiful on the day, and continued to look amazing even two days after the ceremony. A huge thanks to Gemma who helped us out specifically.

Good Morning Thank you so much for providing such beautiful floral displays for my brother Ian Robinson's Thanksgiving Service on 14th March. The flowers around Ian's photograph and the flowers on the pedestal in the worship area in particular were so beautiful and a wonderful focal point which really enhanced the whole event. There is a lot of comfort in being able to focus on something so beautiful. Thank you so much. With kind regards Fiona Ashford
Dear Sandra
I just wanted to send you a quick note to say thank you for all the beautiful flowers you arranged for James Baker's funeral yesterday. The church looked beautiful and the arrangements were very special.
My mother took some of the flowers home with her yesterday and we left the two side displays to remain in the church for the next few days as they looked so lovely!
Thank you again

Sandra at Flowers by Elaine was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding at Wotton House on 16th November 2024. We came to her with quite specific ideas, and she was not only incredibly patient but also offered exceptional advice that helped bring our vision to life.
The flowers completely exceeded our expectations—they were breathtakingly beautiful and perfectly complemented our bridesmaid dresses. So many of our guests commented on how stunning the arrangements were!
Sandra’s creativity, professionalism, and attention to detail made the whole process seamless and enjoyable. If we could give Flowers by Elaine more than 5 stars, we absolutely would! Thank you, Sandra, for making our wedding so beautiful!

Hi Sandra,
Matt and I want to pass on a huge thank you to yourself and the team that put together our arrangements and bouquet for the wedding! The flowers were absolutely gorgeous, I loved them and we had so many lovely comments from our guests who also thought the arrangements were beautiful!
I would love to know the names/types of each of the flowers that were part of all the arrangements? I would love to have a go at growing my own in the garden as a reminder of the wedding!
Thank you so much again,
Best wishes,

Hi Sandra & Gemma,
Apologies for the delay in getting back to you.
Since our wedding (which was a month today), we have been on our honeymoon and also then both been doing extensive work travel.
But now we are both back, we are enjoying the time reviewing our photos, videos and re living all the special wedding day memories.
I just wanted to say a huge thank you to you both again for the amazing work you did on our wedding day. The flowers came out better than I could have even imagined and the more I look back at how beautiful all the rooms looked I just can’t believe that was our wedding!
Thank you again so much for all the help on the day and also leading up to it!
Good luck with the wedding awards!
Best,
Ashleigh and Jonathon

From our very first meeting with Sandra at Flowers by Elaine, we knew we were in excellent hands. We came to them with our Pinterest ideas, and they took the time to truly understand our vision, helping us personalise every detail to make it uniquely ours. Their expert advice and thoughtful suggestions on how to enhance our ideas made the process enjoyable and stress-free.
On the wedding day, their hard work was evident in every corner of the venue. The floral arrangements at the ceremony and the breakfast were nothing short of breathtaking, far surpassing our expectations. It was clear that the team put in an extraordinary amount of effort, and we are so grateful for their creativity, dedication, and attention to detail.
Sandra, Gemma, and the whole team at Flowers by Elaine were an absolute pleasure to work with, and their guidance in the lead-up to the wedding was invaluable. We are incredibly thankful for everything they did to make our day even more special and would recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat.

Sandra was so helpful and great at communicating through the whole process from first initial meeting to the day of the wedding. We couldn’t recommend them enough and we are so pleased we booked flowers by Elaine as our wedding florist. Thank you again!

Hi Flowers by Elaine team,
You provided the flowers and decor for my wedding at Wotton House on 7th September this year. This is just a quick email to say thank you so much! The flowers were absolutely stunning and so fresh. Your team delivered better than I had ever imagined. I didn't know much about flowers before discussing with you all but I had an idea in my head of what I wanted; and you executed it to perfection. The whole team was easy to talk to and work with; even with the additional requests we had, such as fresh flowers for the cake.
The lights in the Old Library looked stunning, and every guest just kept saying 'wow, that looks so pretty'. It was also extremely kind of you to allow us to keep the flower arches as well, especially free of charge. I had really wanted the arches but was limited by budget, so to have them free of charge was so kind of you and really enhanced what I was wanting the space to look like. It is greatly appreciated.
I have attached some photos of the space, and any more that I have specifically of the flowers I will send over. I have written a review on 'Hitched.com' website and have voted for you in the Wedding Industry Awards (fingers crossed). If there is any other place you would like to write me a review, please let me know.
Thank you again for helping make our wedding day look so special.
Kind Regards

Good afternoon Sandra
I would like to extend my thanks to you and the team at Elaine’s Flowers for the wonderful flower displays you provided for our Golden Wedding celebration at Wotton House. The table displays were absolutely glorious and my bouquet and the button holes were perfect.
The whole room looked stunning with a golden yellow glow which was just what I wished for, and I held my bouquet during the photographs just as I had done 50 years ago at our wedding. I can’t pretend that I was 20 again on the outside, but I was transported back to 1974 in my heart and that’s what counts!!
Thank you again and all good wishes.

Hi Gemma,
We’re back to work today after a week minimoon and wanted to drop you an email to say a big thank you for our wedding flowers!
The flowers were absolutely gorgeous and definitely fit the pink brief. We were so pleased with my bouquet and the ceremony room flowers which looked beautiful. They worked really well when moved into the Evelyn suite too with the amazing centrepieces. You fulfilled the brief exactly and we received lots of compliments from guests on how unique they were. Thank you so much!
I have sent the flowers off for pressing so that we can preserve them forever as I want to keep them as a memento of the day!
I have attached some photos that we received in our sneak peek from the photographer this week as well as a video I took when they arrived and a photo of my reaction (clearly very delighted). I tried to send but the files were to large so you can download them from transfer here - https://we.tl/t-wgHoGApKEp
We are happy for you to share these if you would like to. For the official photographer ones the photographer was @clare_smith_photopgraphy on instagram, so do tag her if you decide to post any on there.
Please let us know if there is somewhere that you would like us to do a more official review and we will be happy to.
Thanks again!
Best wishes,

To the fabulous team at Elaine’s Flowers.
Thank you so so much for all your hard work making the dream venue look even dreamier! You brought my vision to life and it was beyond anything I expected.
I have attached a few photos taken by Simon Pope, he’s captured your creations fabulously!
My bouquet was far too beautiful to throw so I used the bridesmaids and have sent my bouquet off to be preserved in some beautiful resin designs. Once I have them back I will share the photos.
Thank you so so much again.

I just wanted to say how beautiful the flowers for Sarah's wedding were on Saturday. I have 1 of the large arrangements and the groom's mother has the other. As we did the table arrangements together, and she has never arranged flowers before, we were amazed that they linked up so well. I do hope you didn't feel we let your good name down. We used what we found in my (large) garden as we thought it would suit Gildings, but couldn't believe you would provide the similar flowers. We were so lucky with the weather and had a wonderful day. Sarah and Alex are now on honeymoon. Thank you for your perfect contribution to our memorable family occasion. Jane

Hi Sandra
I would like to thank you and all at Elaine’s from myself and my Brother for the wonderful flowers you made for our Dad’s funeral (March 19th ’24).
The bike was amazing, exactly what we envisaged and drew plenty of admiring comments, Dad would have loved it! The casket flowers and the posy were beautiful. The colours, simply amazing and bought much joy to a sad occasion. We are so very grateful for the way you dealt with us, understood our requirements, and produced a simply beautiful array of flowers.
Thank you again, so very much.

Dear Sandra and team,
With our thanks for the amazing flowers you prepared for Mum's casket, the font (beautiful!) and Roberts as well. They were absolutely perfect and reflected Mum's love of flowers and especially the daffodils and narcissi she so loved. Thanks again, Rosemary and Donald Wakeford.
Hi Sandra,
I just wanted to write and say a BIG thank you to you and your staff for the floral tributes for my Dad's funeral last Friday (15th March 24)
They were perfect. Dad would have especially loved the cricket bat and ball as he was such a massive cricket fan.
We would not hesitate to use you again in the future.
Kindest Regards

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

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.

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 “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.

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!

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
