Spring Floral Workshops 2019

29th March 2019 ...

"Had an amazing experience last night at Gill's Spring Floral Workshop. We created wreaths, jam jar posies & a wire love heart surrounded by beautiful flowers, moss, ivy --- floral arrangements I never dreamt I could create. Gill was so encouraging & plied us with fizz & cake & top tips regarding foraging for greenery & floral arranging.
The whole evening felt therapeutic, indulgent & we were surrounded by special flowers & smells .10/10"

Dear Gill and George,
Our wedding day was utterly perfect. We know how hard you worked to make it so. The flowers were just divine - organic and wintery and simply stunning.
We've been working to bring some elements to our own garden. We feel so lucky and grateful to have had you with us and providing artistic vision.
Thank you.
With love,
Mr & Mrs Grimwood-Jones

Hello Gill,
William and I wanted to thank all 3 of you for all your amazing work at Pratis. The flowers were so beautiful and really made the venue come alive! You brought our ideas to life and really enhanced them as well. The place smelled beautiful as well! We had so, so many comments on how beautiful the place looked especially the centrepieces and the long area on the light side.
We had the most perfect day! The sun was shining, all our friends and family were there, a beautiful ceremony and a wonderful evening!
Best wishes,
Vicki

Gill,
What can I say? And how can I ever thank you. I loved, loved, loved the flowers. They were just beautiful and we got so many compliments throughout the day about them. They just helped so much in creating the atmosphere we were hoping for.
It was lovely having you, George and your assistant there on the morning. Such a calm influence also. I've loved every second of working with you and will rave about to all my friends. I think you'll be getting a few calls.
Best of luck in the next few months. It'll be a happy time becoming a grandma...lucky little baby. Thank you again and here are one or two pics of our day. We had a ball.

Dear Gill,
I had just wanted to say a very big thank you for the wonderful and very special flowers you did for the wedding! They were exactly what Katie had wanted and were just sooo beautiful! They were just perfect with the bridesmaid dresses too as you can see in the photo! We haven't had the official photos yet but I am sure your flowers will feature strongly in those!
I brought all the flowers home with me and so enjoyed having them all over the house. It was very sad to have to put them out the other day! 
Katie and I very much enjoyed meeting you in Lochgilphead to discuss the flowers before the wedding. We were very glad that you were able to do their wedding before your move to Ireland and we wish you all the very best for your new life there!
Many thanks again Gill!

Hi Gill, 

Flowers are still doing well and they have all been dispersed to various locations throughout Scotland and England along with the tea-pots. 
Once again, thank you so much for everything you did to make Jennifer & Ross' wedding so wonderfully colourful. Hopefully Bill will get some pictures to you if not already. 
Such a pity that you are leaving the area. I trust you will continue with flower arranging when you move to Ireland, if not it will be a loss to Irelands brides. 
Kind regards and do keep in touch.   
Moyra.

Oh Gill, the flowers are GORGEOUS!! Definitely NO tears of disappointment here today. Thank you soooo much. Have had a lovely evening - raining now but forecast still set fair for tomorrow.
Thanks again,   Juliet xx

Hi Gill - thanks again so much for the beautiful flowers... We really did have the most perfectly perfect day imaginable - it just couldn't have been better if it had tried. I can't bear to leave my bouquet here while we're away, but on the other hand, I can't bear to give it away to anyone else, either!
Thanks again for so perfectly realising all the pictures in my head. And for doing it all at arm's length! I do hope we can meet one day - we'll certainly be back that way before too long.   Juliet xx

Hi Gill,
Wow....what a wedding....3 fab days and everyone loved it. No one wanted to leave! Thank you so much for the beautiful flowers they were just perfect and you captured exactly what we wanted. Beautiful compositions which really added to the atmosphere both in the Lodge and Marquee. My Manx family and friends made the connection to the Manx tartan without me explaining it!
I am having my bouquet preserved and a centrepiece created with it, which we can keep forever.
Much love VIV xxxx

Dear Gill and George,
We received our photos today - wow! Many many thanks.
We have spent the whole evening reliving a magical day. Both of us have been really moved by the beauty of these photographs. They seem to have really captured what we felt/feel. 
Thank you both so much for being there with us on the day in such a lovely and unobtrusive way.
Gill - the cake and flowers were/are fantastic and I feel I have truly arrived as an honorary Scot with my thistle button hole!
We know that you have been there for so many people but you really made us feel very special on what was a memorable day for us on so many levels. 
Thank you so much for what you did for us and what you obviously do for so many people.
Hope exhibition season is a great success.
Love

Gill's flowers were beautiful , exactly as Susan had hoped they would be, the flowers both the bouquet and buttonhole complemented Susan's and Lauren's dresses perfectly.
George's Photographs are superb, the colours, images and the way in which the photographs have been taken will give us a wonderful visual memory of what was a wonderful day.
All that and you even managed to give us a day with sunshine and beautiful blue skies, we could not have asked for any more.
Thank you again for making our day perfect.

Dear Gill and George,
Thank you so much for making our wedding such a special, intimate and memorable day.
The flowers were so beautiful, the colours and types could not have been more perfect. The wonderful, heavenly scented magnolias and the pure purple roses which were my paternal grandparent's favourites.

Geraldine & Graham

CREAR, KNAPDALE, ARGYLL, SCOTLAND

Dear Gill and George,
Back home a while now and we wanted to send a note to say a big thank you to both of you. 
We are thrilled with our wedding photos and have looked over them many times now. The little framed print was a lovely surprise and has pride of place on the mantlepiece – we are going to get some copies of this one for our Mums. 
We've enjoyed looking at the album too; for us George's work is really sensitive to the connection between people and landscape. It's great to see that this place is beautiful and dramatic throughout all the seasons, but I think for the moment we are most appreciative of the glorious sunshine of May 1st. 
Gill – the bouquet you designed for me was gorgeous, I absolutely loved it!  – the shape, colours; and great that you included daisies too. We have taken lots of 'reminder' snaps of the flowers and are trying to dry some as a memento. (A little hint for Graham that yellow roses would make a good anniversary present!).
We both feel that despite already being together for many years our wedding has brought us closer. It was a wonderful day that we will cherish and we were so pleased to share it with both of you and Catherine. You calmed our nerves and looked after us – we couldn't have wished to meet lovelier folk.
We'll be checking out your website soon and wish you all the best with your gallery venture. If we're able to make a return trip, we'll pop in to say hello and if you find yourselves planning a trip south do get in-touch.
Kind regards,
Geraldine and Graham

Hi Gill,
We can't thank you enough for the flowers you arranged, I loved them, especially my bouquet. You really captured what I had imagined and more, the little wild blackberries were just perfect and I think the colours really complemented the venue and the season. I'd be more than happy to recommend you anytime.
Most sincere thanks, it was one of the few things I didn't stress about on the day as they really were perfect.

Thanks again. Shona.
