The Best Is Yet To Be
On your joyful wedding day, You begin a brand new life. Friends and family give their gifts To joyful husband, blissful wife.
But the greatest gift you'll ever get, A gift from heaven above, Is love forever, ending never, Everlasting love.
You'll share life's joy and pleasure; You'll have plenty of that, it's true. But love is the real treasure For your new spouse and you.
And if life hands you challenges, As it does to one and all, Your love will hold you steady And never let you fall.
Your wedding day is full of joy; Tomorrow you cannot see. But one thing's sure for the two of you: The best is yet to be.

Consultations:
All brides are different, some want to get every detail of their wedding flowers sorted out many months before their big day, others prefer to wait until relatively close to the event.
At The Flower Basket we have many years experience as florists and so can safely say that we have come across many different approaches! Because we appreciate that people are very busy with work and wedding planning we offer our 'no obligation' consultations during the day, evening or weekend.
We are happy to discuss your wedding flowers whatever stage your planning has reached. At the consultation we will go through all aspects of your wedding flower requirements ranging from the bridal bouquet and bridesmaids' flowers to church and venue decoration along with 'thank you' flowers for the special people who may have helped plan your day.
Treating You Better:
The Flower Basket has created beautiful flowers for hundreds of weddings, and still loves the feeling of 'being involved' from start to finish with her Brides. Themes and styles have changed over the years, but the passion for creating stunning wedding designs will always remain.
With the knowledge that The Flower Basket will only book one wedding per date per designer, you are assured of an unrivalled personal, friendly and professional service at all times, and our undivided attention on your wedding day. The Big Day arrives... and we will take care of everything, bouquets, buttonholes, corsages will all be delivered beautifully presented to the address of your choice. We will then deliver the flowers to your wedding venue and personally set out everything if you would like us to.
Wedding Floral Arrangements :
When planning your wedding there are lots of things that you need to take care of. One item on your list will be your wedding floral arrangements. It is always helpful to get started earlier than later with all your arrangements. Your wedding floral arrangements are not exempt. Everyone has a preference for flowers in their floral arrangements and the vast choice of different flowers can make it quite difficult to choose the perfect wedding flowers. The best way is to break down the different elements of your wedding.
Firstly, consider the style of the wedding. If your wedding is formal then consider formal flowers like roses, calla lilies or orchids.
An informal wedding is more suited to sunflowers, shasta daisies or carnations. All the floral arrangements must consistently convey the theme of the wedding.
Know What You Are Getting Yourself Into!
At the wholesaler, the flowers will come straight from the grower. You will need to take them out of the sleeves, strip all the leaves and thorns off, cut the stem ends, stand them in the right temperature water with correct flower food at the right dosage, somewhere that’s specially temperature regulated to let them drink overnight, before you attempt any arranging with them. Any florist can show you what this does to your hands, turning them green and scratched and with broken nails - not the best look for a close-up photo on the wedding day! And the day is stressful enough without having to think of making a bouquet and bridesmaid's posies and table centres and church decorations the day before.
And as for the buttonholes, these will have to be made on the morning of the wedding as the flowers will be out of water from then onwards; we know tricks and techniques to keep them fresh - and in one piece - throughout the day. Buttonholes need careful techniques to be made that involves wire and lots and lots of practice and patience – not to mention calloused hands.
