Our Story
Centrepiece Flowers
The beginning
Centrepiece flowers evolved from a previous business that provided fresh flower displays to venues and private wedding clients.
Whilst this business was successful and provided the team with a great deal of creativity something didn’t sit right. Every week we amassed a huge amount of waste, 3 black bags filled with cellophane, a huge pile of cardboard, a cubic metre of decaying floral product.
Along with the knowledge that our lovely blooms had travelled many refrigerated air miles racking up a huge carbon footprint, it became clear that our chosen career wasn’t very kind to the worldwide environmental crisis.
We sourced suppliers that showed us amazingly lifelike flowers and our new direction became clear.
A change of direction?
We had been using artificial flowers on occasion to mix with fresh blooms, some fragile flowers like peonies were very popular with brides but only available for a short time during summer.
We sourced suppliers that showed us amazingly lifelike flowers and our new direction became clear.
There were other companies providing creating “lifelike” flower contracts for business. We felt that we offer this too but add our own individual style and offer a higher quality of artificial flower.
Now we have a spectrum of happy clients from a range of different businesses.
And now?
Our studio is busy as potential customers tried our displays and were delighted with the creative design, natural feel and their own customers comments.
Now we have a spectrum of happy clients from a range of different businesses from retail to hospitality, corporate offices to bespoke installations.
In the studio, we are constantly creating new arrangements in line with our clients individual interiors and preferences.
