“My mum and I attended the Easter wreath workshop today and we absolutely loved it. We both managed to create beautiful wreaths with Jenna’s help. She showed us exactly what we needed to do and created a lovely atmosphere where we could create our wreaths whilst eating cake and listening to Adele. It was a perfect afternoon. Thanks again. We can’t wait for the next workshop.” – V.Holmes, Caterham

 

 

Our favourite term to describe our wedding flowers is ‘just grown’. We love to design wedding flowers that are natural and as if ‘grown overnight’. Capturing your theme and wishes we add our unique, country-chic, rustic elements to deliver designs only you can dream of.

We have worked in many local and not so local venues such as The Yoghurt Rooms, Patricks Barn, The Ravenswood, Ashdown Park Hotel, The Red Barn, Hook House Farm, Brookfield Barn, Southend Barns, Nutfield Priory, The Plough at Leigh, Pangdean Barn, Northbrook Park, Royal Holloway University, to name a few!

As you can see there has been a wide variety of venues so we can work wherever you choose for your big day.

Please fill in the below enquiry form to start the discussion on your big day. Once we have replied with a confirmation on the date you require, we will then have an initial consultation via email/phone to go through some ideas and any questions. If you feel we are the florist for your day we can then discuss meeting up at the venue to discuss in more detail any of the finer details.

“Flowers are such an important part of a wedding, and my husband James and I were blown away by our beautiful flowers from Ivy Florence. Everything looked so incredible, from our stunning flower arch to the bouquets. We got everything we dreamed of for our perfect day and more. Jenna is so talented and a real delight to deal with. We couldn’t of been happier and would encourage anyone who is looking for world class flowers to look no further and use Ivy Florence.” – J&J Forest, Essex

Arranging funeral tributes can be really tough, as is any decision at a time of losing a loved one. But we are here to listen and make that an easy process for you. We pride ourselves on designing funeral and sympathy arrangements which reflect the personality and memory of your loved one.

Contact us to arrange a time for you to come in, have a cup of tea and look through some of our designs. We have lots of ideas of ways of making sure your design portrays exactly what you want. Whether it be colour, a favorite flower, scent or just a personal touch to something sentimental.

We also offer a graveside service where we can deliver a design to your loved one’s memorial for an anniversary/birthday etc, in case you cannot get there.

 

“Absolutely beautiful wreath produced for my nan’s funeral perfectly matched my vision thank you!” – V.Garrott, East Grinstead

 

 

Every week we leave a ‘lonely bouquet’ somewhere in the East Grinstead area for a passerby to find and take home. We love to spread the flowery love and hope that the blooms make someone’s day. We hear back from the bouquet’s adoptive parents sometimes and it always makes us smile!

Keep your eyes peeled for an Ivy Florence Lonely Bouquet…

 

 

“Hello my name is Jess and I work in the Dorset Arms in East Grinstead. I have just helped out a man and he said he would repay me somehow. About 5 minutes later he walked back in with these flowers for me! They are very lovely and I would just like to say thank you very much and they are now on display here.”

“Thank you so much! What a clever & generous idea. The bouquet helps me celebrate my daughters birthday & I brought a new car today! Will use you next time I need to send flowers.”

“Look what Charlotte M has just picked up in EG. Thank you so much Ivy Florence Flowers! ???? Act of Kindness!”

“Hello, myself and my son were out walking today in Lingfield, we walked past the pond and found the most beautiful flowers with a note saying to take them, the thing is, my mums name was Florence and she passed over on 28th jan 2013 i miss her all the time and today i was walking along saying to her how much i still love her and miss her, when we found the flowers i took them because i looked upon it as my mum sent them to me because of the name Florence, they look so lovely in my lounge and they are in Worthing now,what a lovely thought that was so kind of you to leave them and i thank you so much with all my heart, Colleen G xxx.”

“Thank you so much for your brilliant idea today . I am the proud owner of your lonely bouquet which I came across while out walking my dog this afternoon. I nearly walked on by but then read your note . Today would have been my late fathers Birthday and I always buy pink roses every year but I didn’t this time as I didn’t see any really nice ones. I was feeling a little sad this afternoon but finding the bouquet, with some pink roses literally felt heaven sent! So thank you so much for your fantastic idea today. I will certainly look after this fabulous bouquet xx”

“What a lovely find on my way home.from the gym this morning! Thank you ivyflorence.co.uk for this gift”

“So beautiful – you were irresistible! A south African by the name of Sabine found you while sheltering from the undecided English weather today 28.03.2016 – who took shelter under the porch of St.Swithuns Church. It was love at first sight – but thinking you were meant for the church – Sabine decided to go her way leaving you behind but something caught Sabine’s attention – there was something different about you – there was a note attached to you which read ‘A Loney Bouguet – Someone please pick me up and take me home. I need a new home!’ – A new home you have found indeed! I hope you feel at home in your new home & new surrounding. Your new surrounding is not your usual English home. You have landed in the home of a Pacific Islander of the South Pacific Islands. Here is how you found your new home. Sabine who found you is South African (from South Africa -here on vacation) – via Sabine you have entered the home of a Papua New Guinean (from the South Pacific Islands near Australia). From East Grinstead (England) via South African (from Africa) To a Papua New Guinean (Of the South Pacific). You are treasured & we welcome you into our home & will care for you for as long as you are willing to be with us. You have taken your place – as can be seen in the pictures below. You shall not feel out of place as – can be seen we are already a flower loving family. Our home is already full of flowers and fruits. We think you are happy here with us – because we sure do love you so so much as your beauty is irresistable. We have thanked God for you because as said – you brought us such happiness & more to be enjoyed in the days and weeks (we hope) to follow.”

“Thankyou’ Ivy Florence – for creating such a beautiful bouguet as you – the ‘A LONELY BOUGUET..’ you have made our day & brought such beauty pleasure and splendour to our humble home! Thankyou thankyou thankyou! We will visit you soon”

“God bless ! with love from Anita, Sabine & family xx”

“Have just given your lonely bouquet a good home! I passed it whilst walking my dog just now and thought if it was still there on my return, it was meant for me! My previous arrangement was in desperate need of replacement. Perfect timing!Thank you for a lovely start to a wet Monday morning.”

“I found your beautiful bouquet on the bench near Jenner’s field in Lingfield. Having felt pretty sad recently, as it coming up to the anniversary of my Mums passing, it put a smile on my face. The snap dragons took me straight back to my childhood garden. Thank you.”

“We found this beautiful bouquet on ashdown forest yesterday (so pleased we did as these would not have lasted the frost)! What a lovely surprise! We parked up at friends car park and this bench was our half way point! We stopped for a hot drink and to enjoy some winter rays and left with this beautiful bunch of flowers. I can’t thank you enough. They are now on our kitchen windowsill taking pride of place. We all agreed that the flowers were stunning! Pictures to follow xx”

Ivy Florence has always been a dream of mine but became a reality when I left my job of 7 years within the exhibition industry to finally do what I’ve always wanted, work with flowers! I had some knowledge of floristry from my Grandmother who was a florist for many years but wanted to brush up on my skills and decided to get some training at the Sussex Flower School with the amazing Georgia Miles. From that I gained the confidence to go it alone.

Flowers are in my blood. My great grandmother (Ivy Florence) taught all the women in my family everything about flowers. As mentioned above, her daughter, my grandmother, was a florist and all the women in the family are keen gardeners with extensive flower knowledge. There would never be a time you would walk into one of our houses and there not be a vase full of flowers somewhere!

Flowers have always been important and dear to me. What a great way to make someone smile, bringing them stunning blooms full of beauty and scent! My style is taken from my love of flower textures along with the abundance of colours the seasons bring. This allows me to create designs which are individual, different and reflect the message the arrangement is trying to portray.

My dream is to deliver the gorgeousness of flowers to people in as natural form as possible. Beautiful, stunning designs that can act as a token of appreciation, a gift alongside another gift, a tribute for a loved one ending their journey or starting a new one or simply just to brighten up the home or make someone smile.

Come and visit me (and occasionally my black labrador Bert) in our lovely little shop.
