With Mother's day coming up on this sunday (hint for children's daddy in NZ!!)
I opted not to buy flowers on UK's mother day as cost more instead of this sun's International mother day!
Can you able to recommend good florist you have used in the past? I was thinking of Tesco.com's but never use them before...unless you know good website florist?
Thanks

I take it you mean for deliveries in the UK? I've used www.0800flowers.com quite a few times, always been very impressed with their service.

We have used these folks for a few years now, always been good quality and reliable, they even do donations to Macmillan fund for certain styles of bouquets

I have used Moorfs friends flowershop since Moorf posted it - It cost me £59 for 2 huge arrangements - I have used them for birthdays too, a friend in Wyndham had used the International interflora site and it cost her a fortune for one bunch...she now wants details for http://www.clareflorist.co.uk/ as she was impressed by the price and standard of the arrangements when I showed her the pictures.

If you're on a budget I'd recommend the Florist's Select... http://www.clareflorist.co.uk/prodView.asp?idProduct=90

Mind you, it's frighteningly expensive in NZ$ (imo!)

but you have to order and use the code today...

Hope this helps the NZ Fathers....:nice1

Kat .....(who expects to get Zilch for Mothers Day - as Jasons got no money and the Truck broke down last week and is costing us $2,000 to fix - part sent off to Auckland for repair :wah :wah and they will both forget anyway!)

I went into UK Yellow Pages (online) found a florist local to where I wanted to send the flowers, phoned them, placed the order and paid by credit card.

Easy peasy and cheaper too !!!

Hope this helps,

Julie

they won't be dissapointed, I sent some for UK mothers day I picked the most reasonable priced as I had a limited budget, and both mums are not the best arrangers so excuse that;)

mums came with 4 matching sented candles
MILs were spring flowers

Look very good Kat! I hope either of them take pictures for me :nice1

[katandbob]

oh and I got some from a local florist from Rachel, she googled florists in Ingill and emailed them, but NZ don't do switch and she doesnt have a credit card so somehow I ended up paying for them myself? - LOL;)

but they were beautiful and I used the pink mesh in the vase afterwards with some fairy lights in it as a lamp:nice1
