Phew! What a weekend that was!

Well what can we say apart from a HUGE thank you to all our customers over Mothers day. We were rushed off our feet, ran out of flowers twice and unfortunately had to stop taking orders early Saturday morning. If you are looking to order flowers, we are always available for same day delivery. However, on our peak seasons you are better to pre-order your flowers to guarantee that we can complete your order :)

We're back to normal now though and looking forward to the next few weeks which see's the start of wedding season. During this time we will keep you up to date with what we are doing and show off some of our designs.

Mothers Day. Sunday 14th March 2010.

It's Mothering Sunday this weekend. We all know how special our Mums are. Those who are with us and sadly those who we miss.

However you want to remember your mum this weekend we are the people to talk to. We have a wide range of designs available. From Planted arrangements to spring flowers in a jug, from carry bouquets in a bag to modern aqua packs. Spring posies to elaborate sprays.

Don't forget that we can delivery anywhere in Caithness. We can also delivery anywhere in the world via our good friends at D2F and F2F and our circle of florist friends.

Ordering your mothers day flowers couldn't be easier. Call us on 01955 60 67 43 or visit our web shop at www.Amandasflorist.co.uk anytime of the day or night.



Brody knows quality flowers when he see's them and knows where he will be buying his flowers from this weekend.

St. Valentines Day.

The 14th of February. One of the most romantic days of the year. We just love surprising your special someone with gorgeous displays of flowers. Our special recommendation this year is our 12 red roses. With this bouquet you can really claim to "Light up her life!"

Weddings and Wedding Fayres.

It isnt even the end of January and we've been busy with weddings and Fayres.

Our first wedding of the year saw a classical hand-tied bouquet of white tulips. Absoloutely gorgeous if we may say so ourselves!

Sunday was the Weigh Inn Wedding Fayre in Thurso. As usual we had to do the odd one or two pieces that caught everyones eye! Not only did the brides comment on these designs but also the other exhibitors! It was a very busy day and we enjoyed talking to all the brides to be about all things floral :)

Here's to the start of a new decade!

Welcome to 2010. We hope you all had a lovely christmas and send our best wishes for the new year.

Its hard to beieve that only ten years ago we were welcoming the new millennium. I was only 14, still in school and had a mobile that looked like a brick in comparison to my new one!

Floristry, like the world, evolves. New techniques, new flower varities and most importantly new ideas. After all, if people didnt have ideas the world would stand still.

Personally for this new year, I hope to get a lot more project work done. Using flowers in unusual styles and places, using accessories that you wouldnt normally link with flowers and using a bit of photography trickery.

Below are a few snippets of what, hopefully, has a lot more to come.
