Victoria Ivy Floral 33 York Road, Riccall, York YO19 6QG

"We cannot praise Victoria enough, our wedding day florals were absolutely stunning and the colour pallets just worked so well! - we had so compliments from all our guests. It really has been such a pleasure working with Victoria. Every time we have communicated she has had the same enthusiasm, passion and dedication as us, as well as being so patient, lovely and kind. In all of the wedding planning chaos, both emailing and speaking to Victoria over the phone really put my mind at ease as she completely understood and took on board the ideas, concept and drew up the most beautiful proposal - she really is brilliant at what she does. The floral design was was such a huge part in creating an absolute magical wedding and she delivered our vision so well. The list is endless…the urns, my bouquet, buttonholes, bridesmaids bouquets - all simply incredible and so beautiful. It was a dream day and could have only come together with all the incredible suppliers we have worked with. Both my husband and I are so grateful for Victoria being there each step of the way and making our floral vision come to life."

"It is difficult to put into words how kind and talented Victoria is. After months searching for a florist, and with our wedding day quickly approaching I contacted Victoria to see if she was available on our day. I had browsed her beautiful website so many times! It felt like fate that she had the date available and we set up a phone call. Speaking to wedding suppliers had often feel quite nerve-racking - would they understand the day and the vision that was so clear in our heads? When we began speaking to Victoria it felt that we had known her forever - that we had been searching for her the whole time. I do not feel that I know a lot about flowers at all but I felt reassured after speaking to Victoria that I didn't need to. Lots of Victoria's other reviews have mentioned how friendly she is and how you truly felt that she understands and cares about your day. I can honestly say that this is so, so true - she is so special. The vision boards that she sends through after meetings are so fabulous and really help you to envisage the flowers on the day. The morning of the wedding day, I moved to a different room so that I could put my dress on and Victoria had set the flowers up on one of the dressing tables. My heart stopped and all I could manage was 'wow'. They were everything I had imagined, I never thought flowers could look as amazing as mine. Victoria was there to help and check everything was ok. I heard my videographer and photographer discussing how they had never seen flowers as beautiful as those! When I mentioned to other suppliers that Victoria was doing our wedding flowers, they instantly said 'oh my gosh, she is amazing'. When we share our wedding pictures with others, one of the first things that they mention are the flowers. We had so many flowers the day after the wedding that I was able to make the guests that stayed a small bouquet of flowers (and more!). They have all commented how well they have lasted. I could not recommend Victoria enough - she took a huge worry that I had had and make it into something so incredible. We will be eternally grateful for the huge part that she played in our special day. She exceeded everything that we had ever dreamt off. You are fabulous Victoria! Mr & Mrs Carter (Loren & Terence)"

"I cannot recommend Victoria highly enough. From our very first meeting I felt like we clicked and that she really got who we were as a couple and what we wanted for our wedding. Through talking about flowers she helped us design the whole look and feel of the wedding. When I wanted a reasonably late change to the colour scheme (!), she was incredibly relaxed and amended the plan extremely quickly. The bouquets, buttonholes, church flowers and table decorations she put together were spectacular and just what we wanted. As well as being an amazing florist Victoria is a lovely person who will put you at ease and make you feel special. She is also super organised and efficient and I trusted her completely. Your dream wedding will be safe in her hands."

"Victoria was our wedding florist and did an absolutely amazing job on transforming our venue. The arrangements and bouquets were beautiful and reflected our personalities and style perfectly using seasonal flowers and foliage and capturing romance and elegance in them. Victoria is a true professional and her passion for flowers comes through and is infectious. She took time to work with us about what we wanted and was flexible when we had to make changes do layout etc. due to Covid restrictions. We couldn't have asked for more and are still in awe looking at the photos from the day. Thank you"
