Christmas Deliveries.

We're dreaming....of a not so white Christmas here at Amanda's. As much as wakening up Christmas morning surrounded by the cold white stuff is fantastic, we'd like it to disappear so we have clear roads for our deliveries.

We hope that you will understand that we will do everything we possibly can to ensure that your flowers arrive on the day of your choice.

We would just like to say however, that if the weather looks to break again we will deliver orders earlier to ensure that every one gets their flowers before Christmas.

Orders are still being taken for all orders whether they are local deliveries, Caithness Deliveries and National Deliveries. International deliveries are dependant on where they are going to now, so just give us a ring and we will organise those gorgeous christmas gifts for you.

Remembering your loved ones this Christmas.

We all have people dear to us who are no longer with us. We remember them always but especially at this time of year.

We were asked by our customers to create different designs for the cemetery this year. Not only items that are unusual, bright and colourful but also made from fresh material that will last the winter weather.

Traditional holly wreaths are as usual, available for collection, ordering and also delivering if braving the snow is a little to much for you. Gorgeous holly on a mossed based.
Favourites also include holly sprays and holly posies as there are many people who would rather stay away from wreaths.

But lets go modern! Lets go a bit more funky and in your face!! Bright blue holly wreaths? Bright pink holly wreaths.... We wouldn't go that far would we? Off course we would!! A wide range of colours are available for colouring the wreath and also for the decoration.

Want to go different but not so in your face? What about our holly stockings? Also available in a choice of different colours. It's a modern twist on a traditional christmas icon.




Snow Joke!!

Christmas is such a busy season for sending flowers all over the world. A lot of people order their flowers via large household name companies which aren't florists.
This snow is going to cause so much chaos to all those that have done so.

Here at Amanda's we always suggest that you use your local florist, or a florist in the local are of the recipient.

A lot of the large companies use couriers to send out your flowers. With the current weather conditions, there are going to be back logs, orders being left for days...weeks maybe? Your flowers may not arrive on time and when they do eventually arrive what kind of condition will they be in?

Solution?? Use your local florists. Not only are you getting a professional service but you are also more likely to ensure that your flowers actually arrive.

If you are sending flowers further affield..still call your florist. They will have contacts and associations which can find you the best florist in that area to use.
