I would highly recommend By Arrangement if you want amazing results for your wedding flowers.
Helena was so thorough with all the tiny details to ensure they were perfect and I was absolutely blown away when I saw what these wonderful ladies had done for me on my wedding day. Honestly couldn’t have asked for better. Thank you so much they were truly beautiful xxx
​
Helena was amazing start to finish! Couldn’t recommend enough!
I met Helena at a wedding event, she was so approachable helped me get a feel for what I would like to have. We set up a meeting to discuss what types of flowers we wanted and what would look well together (as someone who knows little to nothing about flowers this was really helpful!).
We were kept in form of everything along the way, payments were easy and stress free.
Come to the day of our wedding, she exceeded our expectations by miles! All the flowers were stunning, fresh and well created. She literally brought my vision to life! I had so many compliments throughout the day!
Thank you so much to your and your team for everything, it made the day extra special

I can't recommend By Arrangement enough! We weren't really sure where to start when it came to the flowers for our wedding, so we really appreciate Helena guiding us through the whole process. Helena & her team did an amazing job at bringing our vision to life when we weren't 100% sure what we wanted. The colour & joy brought to our day through the flowers provided was everything we'd hoped for, so thank you!!

There aren’t enough words to describe how perfect my wedding flowers were! Helena understood exactly what I wanted, and made it even better than I could have imagined. The whole day people came up to me to gush about how incredible the flowers were, even the venue, who have seen hundreds of weddings, said they were unforgettable.
Thank you Helena, your support and knowledge and kindness was truly appreciated, especially coming all the way to North Wales!!
Thank you again, I will treasure my bouquet forever!

Helena and the By Arrangement team were wonderful and put together the most amazing display of wedding flowers for us.
Helena completely understood our vision from the first meeting and made me feel comfortable and confident in her expertise, which meant we had one less thing to worry about in the lead up to the day!
We can’t thank the team enough. All our guests commented on how stunning the flowers were and some even took some home.
We would highly highly recommend!!
Thank you

Wow what can I say…we were completely blown away by our wedding flowers Sept 2023. We met with Helena way back in the beginning of the year…with a few blank photos of the venue we was using….Chester house had only just started doing weddings.
Helena gave some ideas…complete with photos of her work and the ideas started flowing…
Broken arch who would of thought of that…absolutely beautiful even Chester house were blown away by it they asked for details.
Highly recommend. We are forever grateful for helping our day even more beautiful. X

Helena did our wedding flowers in Sept 2023 and they were lovely.
We met with Helena a few times before the wedding and she was always friendly and patient with our endless questions. I felt she was honest and presented multiple options that helped us keep the costs to a more manageable level (such as re-using the bridesmaids bouquets as centre pieces).
The flowers themselves were beautiful and exactly as we discussed.
Another bonus was for each bouquet Helena provided a free vase so each bridesmaid was able to take this home and keep their flowers fresh for longer, plus the vases were very pretty.
Helena also offered other services (such as post boxes and tea lights) that were far more competitively priced than other suppliers.
We would recommend Helena/By Arrangement for your wedding

Beautiful flowers, brilliant team
We were fortunate to be able to book Helena and her team to undertake the floral arrangements for our wedding day. Helena came to visit us to talk through our ideas for the day, and came up with a very detailed quote that allowed us lots of different options and flexibility for our venue flowers.
BA provided buttonholes, corsages, a beautiful flower wand for our daughter, baby corsages for our twins (too young to hold anything), floeers for the girls' hair if they wished; all of the table arrangements, a post box for wedding cards and gifts, and - of course - my absolutely exquisite bouquet (plus a vase it could live in when I wasn't holding it) and a gorgeous throwing posy.
Helena kept in touch in the 12+ months prior to our day, with regular updates in the final run up to the wedding, sending me photos of our flowers as they were delivered and a choice of sneak peeks if I wanted.
All of the floral arrangements were delivered to the venue well in time so the day went smoothly and were exquisite to look at and hold. The flowers were thoughtfully and creatively presented and worked beautifully with the venue (an outdoor wedding at Delapre Abbey, so everything had a very meadow feel).
Helena went above and beyond, even providing me with information on how to propagate cuttings from my bouquet to grow in my garden after my wedding day.
If 10 stars were possible, I would give 20!

I first met Helena at a wedding fayre held at Barton Hall Hotel. I already had a florist in mind but I was blown away by Helena's flower arrangements so I had to check it out further. I left my details with one of her friendly team members who assured me that Helena would be in contact soon.
When Helena did make contact she was very professional and attentive to my needs. Helena has such a caring and warm nature about her. Any worries or concerns I had soon faded away. I just knew from the moment that we spoke that I was in good and safe hands.
Helena understood that I had a budget and helped me keep within that offering suggestions on how to reuse the flowers in a cost effective way.
Helena was also extremely flexible. She would happily talk with me over the phone or via zoom. On one occasion, we spoke for nearly 2 hours! Even when she was not feeling 100% Helena, not wanting to let me down, still made time for me. The communication throughout was always very clear and she always kept me informed of progress.
Helena mentioned that she was going to be doing a wedding fayre at another venue a couple of weeks before my wedding. She said that if I was able to attend she would use my wedding flowers as show pieces. When I entered the room and saw the flower arrangement, I was so overwhelmed with how gorgeous they looked. I was also lucky enough to take the bouquet home!
My big day was on 27 May 2023 at Barton Hall Hotel. While I was getting ready in the bridal suite, Helena and her team brought the flowers up to my room. Helena went through everything with me. The flowers looked and smelled absolutely beautiful. I received so many compliments about them.
Helena and her team totally understood my colour theme and vision making my dream wedding come true.
I would happily recommend By Arrangement to anyone looking for a reputable florist.

We used by arrangement florist for our wedding on 15th July and they done such an amazing job with making the venue look so beautiful. Everything was at high quality and got nothing but compliments on the flowers. Helena come to us for our first meeting to discuss wedding flowers, I was unsure on what colours and type of flowers that would go with our colour scheme and style of our wedding but she gave us different ideas and got it spot on! I would definitely recommend by arrangement to anyone looking for a florist!

Melissa Ingram - Bazeley, 13th August 2023
By Arrangement florist is just stunning. I met Helena when I was just browsing at a wedding fair, on this particular day I had already got a florist in the pipeline. After just a couple of minutes speaking to Helena I knew I wanted to book her. Our first meeting in my home was chilled as we talked through some ideas but I was still unsure what would actually work for my Boho theme. Helena got it 100% spot on. I did not want the traditional floral display of flowers or bright colours. But was adamant I wanted bunny tails! Plus I wanted a flower crown…….wow wow wow is all I can say. But most of all I want to say a massive thank you to Helena and her awesome team for saving the day two days before our big day. My first pre wedding emotional breakdown when I found out we had a massive fail on flower table displays. The wedding decorator did not provide them. Helena answered my phone call as I was stood in the middle of our reception venue immediately, not sure how she understood what I was saying due to my crying. 24 hours before our big day Helena and her fab team created 8 table centrepieces in my boho theme with very little notice.
So just when she thought she had sorted all of my four bouquets, flower crown, seven buttonholes, a corsage and a hat box thank you gift, I hit her with this. We are super grateful and can’t recommend By Arrangement enough. We received phenomenal comments about how stunning they were. We were blown away when we arrived from the church. Not to mention seeing all of the flowers arrive on the morning, again with amazing comments as I broke away from traditional designs with lots of dried pieces, feathers and of course bunny tails!
I have dried my bouquet and flower crown and these are on display at home. They look as good as they did on the big day.
I can’t put into words how grateful and highly recommend this amazing team. THANK YOU X

We used by arrangement florist for our wedding on Saturday 4th February. We had a bridal bouquet, bridesmaid bouquets, flower girl wand, a Groom's buttonhole and groomsman buttonholes. Everything we received was of high quality and it looked gorgeous. We were very impressed with it all and they also hand delivered everything to our room to go through it all with us. Service was amazing and we would definitely recommend you to anyone looking for a florist. Thank you so much yet again. X
