I love flowers. More often than not I have to buy them for myself these days. Whilst rushing round the supermarket I might grab some value roses or our local charity shop often sells "past their best" flowers which will last a day or two longer and bring some cheer to my home.

But there is NOTHING, absolutely NOTHING like the feeling I got when a huge, beautiful box tied up with a gorgeous ribbon arrived at my door. The Real Flower Company specialises in luxury bouquets grown in English Fairtrade sustainable farms.

It is actually only when you receive flowers of this quality, that you realise how truly beautiful flowers should be. Not only the explosion of beautiful colours, textures and flower types but, oh the SMELL ! They are truly the best flowers I have ever received.

I was sent the Red Antique & Plum Bouquet which has scented Lady Killer roses (me to a tee), blush Caffe Latte roses and deep red secret roses. The bouquet also has astrantia, lavender and eucalyptus. Each bouquet is hand-tied by the experienced floristry team at The Real Flower Company's farm in West Sussex and despatched in their signature olive green packaging.

The Red Antique Plum bouquet perfectly suits my home decor, yes, I do feel your flowers should fit your home decor style. I think they look particularly good in this old French Trug. I was not only thrilled with how long they lasted, remaining fresh and vibrant for a week, the smell in the room was truly glorious. The Real Flower Company not only sell flowers for all occasions but also sell Candles and other gifts.
