Meet Lita & Laura
British flower enthusiasts!
Our mission is to offer beautiful seasonal flowers that are sustainably grown by us and doesn't cost the earth, literally. From one eco flower enthusiast to another.
As well as beautiful bouquets, we offer DIY flower buckets for those who enjoy playing and creating with flowers themselves. Depending on season dried flowers will also be available. They are just as colorful as fresh blooms and a far cry from those dated arrangements back in 80s.
In addition to this, at certain times of the year we offer flower arranging and wreath workshops which are hugely popular and a great way to spend a few relaxing hours whilst learning a new skill and taking a beautiful arrangement home.
About us
We grew up in Latvia where most people had an allotment to grow their own food. As children we were trusted to mainly weed the patch and that wasn't that exciting but we did absorb some of our mums gardening knowledge and when we moved to UK in 2005, we began growing vegetables.
As much as we loved growing our own food, we just couldn't get excited about a bag of spuds. In 2020 Lita had just cut a bunch of flowers for herself and it was so beautiful, something just clicked, we realized that this was what we wanted to do, grow flowers and share their natural beauty and the joy they bring.
Smitten with Flowers is our part-time business and as such we work around our day jobs. Can sometimes feel a bit limiting but there is a silver lining, we are able to offer early morning and late evening local deliveries, which a more traditional bricks and mortar flower shop might not always offer.
What matters to us
We grow and arrange our flowers with environment and nature at heart, they are always super fresh, arranged without plastic or floral foam and no chemicals. I'm committed to looking after the earth by using sustainable growing and floristry practices.
Our floral arrangements are bespoke and uncomplicated as we believe that flowers speak for themselves with their natural beauty. As well as using flowers we use herbs and seasonal foraged greenery, adding beautiful scents and textures to each floral arrangement.
Many of our customers return as they all appreciate beautiful, seasonal, locally grown flowers which have a low impact on the environment. We offer high level and personal customer service.
...definitely trusted to get it right...
