The Real Flower Company
Specialising in English flowers from sustainable farms, the Real Flower Company creates traditional bouquets that look like they’ve been plucked fresh from the garden that morning. Even better, at a time when lots of roses have had their smell removed, its roses stand out for their carefully cultivated natural scent.
