Flowers for Farewells

We are delighted to announce that we will be working with Lewis Cook Independent Funeral Home as their resident florist.

When remembrance flowers are ordered in house, those arrangements will be made and delivered by ourselves.

Lewis has recently branched out alone, after gaining a wealth of knowledge working in the funeral industry for many years, and is opening his first branch on Borrowdale Drive in Norwich.

With his expertise and real life experience to draw on, Lewis will be offering a professional service with that extra level of personal care that sets small independents apart from the rest.

Like ourselves, when you support this new business, you are supporting a small family, and contributing to the local community.

Together we will bring a first class service to help navigate you through one of possibly the most challenging times we experience as human beings.

You can follow Lewis’s journey through his Instagram and Facebook pages.

We are very much looking forward to working with him and his family, and wish him all the very best for the future.

“Thank you so much. Sarah and I cannot wait to start working alongside Danielle. It was clear to me from the moment I met with her how passionate she is about her work and providing an unrivalled service to her customers.

Having poured over her floristry and having struck a rather pleasant cord, all of our floral tributes for our families will be looked after by a wonderful, well established local florist.

Danielle’s outlook is to always go the extra mile for families and knows the importance of the small details.”

— Lewis Cook

26 Weeks Later

Six months ago, after our plan A was pulled from under us, I initiated plan B. I went to the wholesalers, bought some supplies, made up some samples, took some photos, and started our own business.

We weren’t sure what to call it at first, but remembered my late dad saying that your work should be good enough to put your name to it. Which is why he and Mum did that very thing.

We were Flowers by Danielle Wyatt for about a week, before we decided on Danielle Wyatt Flowers (the husband liked that it sounded like I was blooming after being severely pruned).

We started off cautiously buying minimal stock, two vases at a time, and this week we have almost a hundred arriving.

I asked the universe for five orders a day to make it viable, we now regularly have more.

I am almost at capacity for Mother’s Day weekend already, and our customer base is expanding by the day.

We would once again like to thank our very dear friends and family, and the customers who have become friends, for all their love and support, which has helped us realise that our Plan B should have been our Plan A all along.

Here’s to the next busy six months.
