​"Denise is more than simply a florist- she is an artist that makes flower arranging look effortless. The flowers she arranged for our wedding were stunning and many guests commented on how beautiful they made our venue. They were natural, wild and whimsical in style and looked like they had just been picked from an English country garden in the sunshine - exactly the style we wanted. I also created moodboards for my bouquet and flower crown, as I wanted a pastel colour theme with a wild, boho, natural style. Denise followed the briefs exactly and the result was just beautiful. Denise also always tries, where possible, to use British seasonal flowers, which I love as it is difficult to find florists in the area that do this.  I would recommend the Garden Gate to any future brides to be without hesitation."

*We use British grown flowers, some grown by us but also sourced from other British growers, large and small. We do on rare occasions buy imported flowers, due to crop failures, special requests etc
