Where do I start? From the moment the buttonholes and bouquets were delivered I was astonished and even more eagerly anticipating the delights that awaited us at Hopetoun House. The stables were so elegant and warm, I adored the sophisticated simplicity of the candles and pinks, it was more beautiful than I ever imagined. Then we saw the Tiger Room, Tapestry Room & finally the Ballroom, that was the pičce de résistance!! Absolutely awe inspiring and took our breath away – we received so many compliments on your marvellous creations. We love that you translated our (lets face it) rather sketchy ideas into such classy yet edgy terrific titanic works of art! Special thanks for helping us plan from afar and making us feel like friends.

What can I say? We were absolutely thrilled with the wonderful wedding flowers at the Signet Library. The creams, peach and soft pink colours of the roses were gorgeous. The candelabra and flower pedestals on the stairs were breathtaking. The flowers were so perfect in the upper library, and with the table linens and mistletoe, it made it a really warm and romantic wedding reception - despite the freezing temperatures outside! I was so pleased with my bouquet and the bridesmaids' bouquets. The soft trail was lovely with my dress and looks gorgeous in our photographs. I should also mention the cake flowers - wow - they just set off our traditional wedding cake perfectly. We have had many comments from friends, family and even the staff at the Signet about how wonderful the flowers were. I also wanted to say after the rather hectic run up to the wedding and changing the venue last minute, that you were a great support, so professional, relaxed and willing to adapt to all the necessary changes caused by the blizzards. I always knew you would do a good job, but I didn't realise just how great you are! A big thank you from Fraser, my mother and me.

The flowers that you and your team did for us at Blair were absolutely stunning and commented on by everyone. Your skill at judging just what the historic background of Blair required and the skill in arranging a breathtaking Reveal was amazing. A lot of our guests had never ever seen anything like it before and were completely in awe of the magic performed. The feathers were just breathtaking and Laura’s dream of a Hollywood type wedding was met. You promised me that it would all be perfect and it was. There is no doubt that orchids reign supreme in the elegance stakes! I have got about 5 pots home with me and that is after handing a lot out to family and friends. Hopefully they will survive a while as a living reminder of a fab day. We are delighted that we met Planet Flowers and send all our best wishes to all the team who worked so so hard on 2nd April at Blair.

I just wanted to write you a note to say thank you for the flowers for our wedding. When James and I first walked into the marquee after the wedding service our jaws dropped. I have honestly never seen such beautiful flowers in my life – let alone dreamt that I would have them at my wedding. Since then I have heard the same thing from so many friends – and they have been the reoccurring theme of most of the thank you letters my parents have received! I can’t thank you enough for everything you did – even working against a volcano! You somehow managed to take my vogue and ambitious brief and deliver beyond my imagination, with seemingly minimal effort. I will, and already have recommended you to anyone I know planning a wedding in Scotland. So many thanks again.

Your arrangements were absolutely magnificent and I was one of the lucky ones that came home with a “top” which is gracing my hallway. They were splendid and everyone commented on them. It made these rather large rooms look grand but accessible at the same time and had a festive air to them which was just perfect. Many, many thanks for your generosity and your time and for the significant part you played in the success of our event.

Just wanted to drop you a wee mail to say hello! ...and also to thank you so so soooo much again for all of your help with everything in the run up to the wedding. I really appreciated it and you honestly made the planning very fun and exciting. The flowers were totally out of this world, Des and I were both completely and utterly blown away with how the place looked. It was honestly like a fairytale dream and was exactly how I had pictured it in my head! Your attention to detail was incredible from the crystal in the flower girls wand which matched the place settings, to matching the colour of the bridesmaids pomanders to their dresses, the diamond in my bouquet to match my dress. Everything was just incredible and quite breathtaking! I couldn't get over how amazing the church looked when I first walked in.. just beautiful. So many people have said to me how fantastic the flowers were, you really did such a good job, I just don't know how you do it! Please pass on our thanks and appreciation to all of the team.

I have just arrived home from honeymoon and wanted to send a thank you email as soon as. The flowers were incredible and were even better then my expectations. You created exactly the look and style I was aiming for from the bridesmaids hair flowers to the table décor - simply stunning. The amount of comments I received about the flowers was amazing and it was sad to see a wilted diamanté bouquet on my return from honeymoon, it was hard to put the bouquet in the bin. Thank you for all your help with ideas, decisions and the set-up of the flowers was perfect.

On behalf of all at the Edinburgh International Festival, I just want to say a huge thank you to the whole Planet Flowers team for your absolutely spectacular designs for our Edinburgh launch events. You were a delight to work with throughout the whole process, with your enthusiasm to put together something really special for our big day really shining through. Our Festival Director surrounded by Planet Flowers blooms made for a FABULOUS press photo call, while the floral designs and buttonholes for our evening reception really lifted the event to a whole new level. Hands down, our most visually stimulating, sumptuous launch event to date.

A note to thank you so much for our absolutely incredible flowers. It is really difficult to describe how amazing all our guests and I thought they were – to say that they took my breath away is an understatement. Thank you too for being so friendly, helpful and efficient. Thank you all once again.

I apologies for being a bit late in writing to tell you thank you for the beautiful flowers for our November 22nd wedding! They could not have been more perfect, and made our special day truly shine. Thank you also for being so easy to work with overseas. You talent and vision continues to impress – thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

A huge thank you for all your hard work in creating our wedding flowers at Hopetoun House on the 7th November. It was an absolute pleasure working with you to plan the day and you understood exactly the look, feel and smell that I was aiming for. The bouquets were obviously the first things that I saw and they made me cry they were so beautiful – my bridesmaids have boxed theirs up in order to be able to fly them back to Hong Kong here they live; our flower girl Chloë refused to take the gorgeous circlet off all day – she even slept with it by her bed that night & the herbs in my bouquet smelt delicious and I am sure that breathing in their scent kept me calm throughout the day! I was literally blown away by the flowers in the ballroom – I relaxed as soon as I saw how well the whites worked on the black tables – as you know I had been a little worried about that! The fireplace display was INCREDIBLE. So many of our guests commented on how lovely, different, fragrant and striking the flowers were – I couldn’t have hoped for nicer comments than that. All in all, you made my day. The flowers were one of the things I was most excited about and for you to understand that so well them super-ceded all my expectations was just wonderful. You all deserve a medal!! Thanks again from a very grateful and happy bride!

I just wanted to drop you a note to say a huge thank you! You were so great to work with and managed to understand exactly what Adam and I were looking for with our flowers. We arrived at Planet Flowers not really sure what we wanted but we knew we wanted everything to look clean and white. You guided us through the entire process putting together different suggestions and advising us on what would and wouldn't work! This was incredibly useful when I was trying to divert Adam away from choosing a life-size elephant made of flowers! We had such a wonderful day and Adam and I were blown away with how the venue looked when we walked into the wedding reception. The entire venue looked magical with the white flowers, willow branches and fairy lights. The tables looked amazing and even the little details were incredible including the hanging roses in the vases, the beading detail on my bouquet that matched my dress, the gorgeous vintage looking brooches on the bridesmaid bouquets and even the matching mini escort tree on the sweetie table - amazing!! We had so many guests commenting on the flowers especially the large escort tree in the drinks area. It looked so beautiful with all the hanging crystals and orchids - even better than I had ever imagined. The whole venue looked amazing and seemed to only get better as the evening become darker as the pink lighting, fairy lights and candles really stood out. I just wanted to say such a huge thank you as you put up with our millions of emails and requests and you really made our venue look like a fairytale.

Thank you so much for doing such an amazing job with all the flowers in Archerfield, the church, bouquets, button holes and in the marquee, for the wedding on Saturday! The flower and candle displays in the church were beautiful and the table arrangements with the candelabras, crystals and orchids were breathtaking and captured the romantic feel so perfectly that we had wished for. We've had many, many compliments on the flowers from our guests and our sincere thanks go to all the team for organising and coordinating all the displays.

Where do I start?... We were so thrilled with all you did for us to make Annabel’s wedding unforgettable. You were both delightful the way you guided us and then came up with such spectacular displays both at the church and Dundas Castle. You certainly waved your magic and made our dreams come true! We couldn’t have wished for more for our daughter. She was bowled over by the pavilion in particular, which was breathtaking. We have had so many letters mentioning the flowers – nobody had seen anything quite like it. Thank you both from the bottom of our hearts you made the day magical.

I just wanted to thank you so much for the flowers at my wedding. They were absolutely beautiful and I could have cried when I saw them all. I had so many compliments from people on them which were nice and it was lovely seeing all the different little bits and pieces throughout the castle on the day. I couldn’t have asked for anything else as they were just so perfect and exactly what I wanted. Thank you so much for all your help and original ideas as I just wouldn’t have got that with anyone else. You played such a big part on my day and helped to make my day perfect and I am really grateful of that.

I just wanted to say again what an outstanding job you did for Charles & Fran’s wedding. You not only read Fran’s mind, you looked into her soul and translated what you found in to flowers from heaven. I am usually a stickler for having everything on paper, drawings etc. I didn’t quite understand or could imagine some of the arrangements you described, but it didn’t worry me one bit. With you I felt in completely safe hands, safe, but inspired. Totally confident. Thank you for your exquisite work.

I am for once, almost speechless! And it has taken until now to find the words to describe to you how completely overwhelmed I was at seeing your amazing autumnal flowers on our wedding day. In all the excitement of getting ready I had quite forgotten that I had still to see my bouquet and forgotten that I had still to see my bouquet and when Lorraine arrived and showed it to me the tears almost spoilt the freshly applied mascara! It was the most beautiful thing I’d ever seen. Abercorn looked truly beautiful with all the candles flickering and when we first set eyes on the stables, I just couldn’t believe my eyes. The magical archway & tree stands forming a golden canopy, just like a forest, and of course all your unique touches, like the garland in the carriage room, that made the wedding unforgettable. It was absolutely a true celebration of autumn, my favourite season. From the very outset of understanding what I had in mind to the many, many occasions of indecision that you endured so patiently the finished effect far, far exceeded my wildest expectations. None of our guests could quite believe your exquisite creations and rightly so each and every thank you we received mentions the flowers. Thanks you for your ideas, inspiration, creativity and care.

Just a belated thank you for the giant efforts of you all - wow! This seems a common term used and can be quite boring when you are listening to someone describe something - not so in our case - it has been so reassuring. I personally know what is involved getting out of your bed early on a Saturday, so it goes without saying we were bowled over with the wow's/ never seen anything like this before/ speechless/ beautiful etc etc. I would like to thank you and your professional team doing what they did. I felt so proud of the comments but at the same time a fraud as I did nothing! So it must be said everyone - yes everyone was gob smacked by what you carried out. So to everyone behind the scenes - yes keep getting out of your beds early on a Saturday - you are really doing something right! Keep up the work - it hit the spot!

We just wished to say a huge, huge thank you for your patience and skill in putting together the most wonderful flowers for our wedding. The flowers on the day were just perfect. They captured our romantic/ vintage theme exactly and carried it through from the chapel to the drinks reception and the wedding breakfast in a wonderful explosion of pink. The marquee in particular was breathtaking. So many people commented on the flowers – if ever you have had a bride upstaged by the roses, it was me! I think that the beautiful candelabras stole the show! Thank you so much for your professionalism and vision and for making my dream flowers come alive.

Our sincere thanks for the really outstanding flowers. The table decorations at the venue were exactly right thanks to your idea of the tall vases - all the height to give drama, but they didn't get in the way of conversation. We found good homes for all the displays at the end of the night. I absolutely loved the bouquets. I'm afraid I gave myself arm ache carrying it around for the entire drinks reception, and then decided I couldn't bear to throw it at the end of the night. Our flower girl was also clutching hers right through to the end of the night.

Wow , what can I say! You so got me from the start which made working with you an absolute dream. The flowers were everything I had wished for and more and the exquisite detail and soft romanticism literally brought tears to my eyes. The Keep was so beautiful and the Pavilion was amazing from the trellis's to the tables, it was literally perfect.
Thank you , thank you , thank you!

Wow!! The flowers at our wedding were amazing and I never imagined that they would be that fab. Everyone at the wedding commented on the bouquets and how different and pretty they all were. When Matthew and I walked into the Garden Suite at Norton I was so happy and so very proud to say that you had done our flowers. Thank you so much from both of us for being fab and understanding in the run up, getting all of our ideas and bringing the to life and helping us to make our wedding day even more special.
