Absolutely amazing service, same day delivery, my friend was delighted to receive them. I asked for bright and sunny, they must have magically come up with some yellows which I really appreciated. It pays to go local even if you don't live there. Find a local florist and phone them, I never use internet florists. Thank you Tiger Lily they are beautiful and cheered up my friend no end.

Thank you Tiger Lily for providing the flowers for my wedding. Tina created perfect bouquets for me and my bridesmaids. She used photos of bouquets I liked from the internet & altered the design to fit within my budget. The flowers were delivered right on time & looked absolutely beautiful!

Blown away by the service, quality and standard of flowers. You've made dozens of bouquets for me and often with little notice; which often saves my bacon! Special mention as when I asked you to recreate my wife's hand tied wedding bouquet for our anniversary you made it happen and she was thrilled; as always! Thank you! All our friends and family also appreciate your flowers as the pictures proudly get shared on social media.
P.s - See you in a moment... I am about to come and pick up another bouquet... this time for "International Womans Day"

I would like to just thank Tina for the beautiful flowers she did for our wedding a couple of weeks ago. The bouquets were truly stunning and they matched the colour theme perfectly. I would highly recommend for anyone looking for a florist for any occasion, the service is fantastic and the price is also very fair!
