I wanted to say how absolutely wonderful you were at organising my mum's funeral on July 2nd. We could not have gone through it all without your calm, professional and experienced support. You were amazing leading up to the day as well as at the church and crematorium. You do such a wonderful job at a time when people are preoccupied with grief and unable to think straight. Thank you so very very much.
Thank you for all the help you gave to the family at the time of their bereavement and especially on the day of her funeral. When someone dies peacefully and painlessly at the age of 97 it is not really a sad occasion, but a time to celebrate a long life well lived. Nevertheless it is a confusing and uncertain time, especially with current restrictions. So to have you guide us through all of the necessary bureaucracy and to do it with compassion and professionalism was well appreciated by all the family. We shared the flowers and it has given us a lovely taste of spring in the house, and helped to bring back lots of memories of my mother's beautiful garden.
I am writing to thank you and your team very much for arranging my Aunt's funeral last week. It is daunting when you have never had to make arrangements like this before, but you personally made it very straightforward and easy for me. The family were very pleased with the service and the way it was managed and I am very grateful to you all. I felt that it was a celebration of her life and a lovely send off for her after a long and full life. Despite the pandemic it all went smoothly without any hitches.

February, the month of love and romance, is represented by two beautiful blooms: the iris and the violet.

The Iris – A Symbol of Hope and Wisdom

The iris, with its bold and striking appearance, has been admired for centuries. Named after the Greek goddess Iris, who was believed to connect heaven and earth, this flower symbolizes hope, wisdom, and communication. Its elegant petals come in a variety of colours, but purple irises are particularly popular, representing royalty and respect.
If your birthday falls in February, the iris embodies your ability to inspire others and bring clarity to challenging situations. It’s the perfect flower to represent the thoughtful and visionary spirit of this month.

The Violet – A Sign of Loyalty and Humility

The violet, with its charming and delicate blooms, holds deep meanings of loyalty, humility, and faithfulness. In Victorian floriography, violets were often exchanged as a symbol of everlasting love and devotion.
February’s second birth flower also represents modesty and the quiet strength of those who persevere through life’s challenges. The violet reminds us that beauty and grace often bloom in unexpected places.

Throughout the year, we’ll be sharing the fascinating stories and meanings behind each month’s birth flowers. Don’t forget to check back to discover your own flower and its significance!

January: Carnation and Snowdrop

For those born in the chilly month of January, two flowers stand out: the carnation and the snowdrop. Each of these flowers carries unique meanings that reflect the spirit of the season and the people born under its influence.

The Carnation

Carnations, with their frilly petals and wide array of colours, are one of the most recognizable flowers. Their meanings vary depending on their hue:
• Red carnations symbolize love, admiration, and affection.
• Pink carnations are often associated with gratitude and a mother's undying love.
• White carnations signify purity, innocence, and luck.
The carnation’s scientific name, Dianthus, translates to "flower of the gods," emphasizing its timeless beauty and significance. This flower also represents resilience and enduring love, qualities often associated with those born in January.

The Snowdrop

The delicate snowdrop, often the first flower to bloom as winter transitions to spring, is a symbol of hope and renewal. Its pristine white petals evoke a sense of purity and optimism. Snowdrops remind us that even in the harshest conditions, beauty and strength can emerge.

You will notice our window display also features La Chic Designs this month, who create unique 3D cast print keepsakes of hands, feet, and paws for babies to adults and pets! Head over to their page to find further information.
