Edwards Flower Shop

A strange one for me to be reviewing, as flower buying is not one of my regular activities. But my word, does this shop deserve a mention.
I was set the task of buying flowers for my dear mama for her wedding anniversary. A strange one you may think, but my papa works in Africa and being a developing country, his Internet and phone was working only intermittently. Cue a huge favour from his number 1 daughter.
Having been told a colour scheme and type of flower I looked on the interflora website (who run Edwards) and found a bouquet that I thought was perfect, though came in a presentation vase that i knew would be surplus to requirements.
I telephoned and spoke to a lovely lady who was so friendly I couldn’t help but gush half my life story.
She told me the flowers from the website are sent from a warehouse and the bouquets cannot be changed, and the longevity of life of the blooms sadly could not be guaranteed by herself.
She then advised me that i was more than welcome to bespoke my own creation over the phone.
She then went on to describe all the flowers and how she could arrange them. It was absolute bliss! If one thing is for sure, this shop is passionate about customer satisfaction. I’m convinced there would be no worse anniversary gift than a withered past it bunch if flowers. (I think I would read it as symbolism)
Sticking at the same price as the original bouquet from the website, she said I could have about 10 more stems in my bouquet.
The delivery was free of charge, and after ordering at 2pm it arrived at my mamas house at 9.30 the following morning.
Needless to say there were tears upon receipt! One very happy mama on a day that could have proved disastrously lonely given the circumstances.
So Edwards, my hat comes off to you for this one!

A very decent florist shop with some potted plants on sale too.
They put together a good bouquet and listen to your requests carefully. It’s a bit tricky if you’re going to carry a bouquet away as there is no parking nearby and it’s pretty busy just there.
Other florists can be better.
