I bought the ‘Peace’ bouquet for my mum-in-law’s 82nd birthday. The display looked gorgeous on the website and for £39.99 it appeared to be well worth it - especially as I was getting a Sunday (Nxt day) delivery. Ordering was easy - although I wish they would add PayPal to their method of payments, but then after reading some of the negative reviews, there may have been many disputes.
Anyway, back to MY order. We arrived just after DPD delivered them and wee June took them out of the box. I was horrified 😱. “Is that them????” I asked.
“It is hen. I think they’re lovely, Katy” replies my ever so kind mum-in-law.
So I took them into the kitchen and separated the greenery (a lot) from the flowers (quite a lot too to be fair) and once I displayed/arranged them (which I love doing) in a large vase with fresh water and the feed, they took on a completely different look altogether. And there were still a lot of the freesias to open which will make it look fuller and more like the burst of white which I ordered. One white rose however had just begun to wilt but sprung back to life after cutting the usual couple of inches from the stem and sticking it in some lemonade for a minute - (which will pert any drooping flower up) before adding it to the display. So when I took them back to the livingroom, Wee June was delighted to the point of tears. She couldn’t believe they were the same flowers that came in the box. Only really one complaint (if that) - the card was sodden but the message readable but looked awful drying out. Other companies Iv used, Flying Flowers, M&S (never ever a Williamson’s 👎🏻) always have the card attached to the outer box in an envelope to prevent the obvious spillage that’s going to happen in transit.
But overall, once the flowers were trimmed n cut and put in a lovely large vase, they were beautiful and can only improve once the closed buds open.
Thank you, Serenata for the lovely flowers and for not being shy with the greenery (like a lot of others are - sticking the odd wee bit in). The greenery actually adds to the display when placed in all the right places in my opinion anyway, and I’m a fussy b***h when it comes to flowers, hence my initial reaction upon seeing them just out the box.
Would I recommend Serenata? ABSOLUTELY. 100% and this is the company I will continue to use from now on, 🌺💐🌸🌷🌹🌼🌺
