Flowers From The Secret Garden

Finding the perfect florist was really important for me. I was extremely impressed with Sarah from our first phone call. Her attention to detail was the most impressive. She went through every aspect of our day and had so many ideas/suggestions of how we could incorporate florals and maximize our budget. She really delivered above and beyond on our wedding day. Not only were the flowers perfect and so beautiful, but she added all these amazing details with vases, candles, etc. She truly brought my vision to life and I felt she really understood exactly what I was looking for.

I really wanted our flowers to reflect the style of our day and fit in with our venue and I just fell in love with Sarah's passion from the very first phonecall! Sarah understood exactly what I wanted and delivered! Knowing that flowers from the secret garden are sustainably grown and sourced was the perfect icing on the cake for us and when everything arrived on our wedding day there was no stress or fuss just pure joy! I couldn't recommend this team more highly!

Sarah was absolutely amazing from START to FINISH!! She took my Fairytale and subtle Disney themes and turned them into a reality. She was prompt with her communication and delivered every bit (and more) of what she promised.

The flowers she chose for the bouquets were outstanding, even the buttonholes for the groom and groomsmen were simply stunning. We also recieved a card detailing the names of all of the flowers that were used which was fabulous.

On to the Room Decor, Sarah created floral centerpieces on the candelabras for the tables that were so fanciful and magical, I wasn't entirely sure little fairies weren't going to climb out of them. The moss, flowers and little candles at the base of the candelabras added that extra glow that pulled everything together. It was MAGIC! The detail was simply perfection and our guests were in awe of them.

On top of all of that, Sarah placed a tiny Mickey Mouse pin into my bouquet for my little personal bit of subtle Disney that was the cherry on top. That made me so happy I can't even begin to explain it.

Thank you Sarah, for making our Wedding Day so special by sharing your beautiful talent.

I would recommend Flowers from the Secret Garden to anyone and Everyone getting married who wanted something a little extra special XxX

Literally couldn't have been happier with my flowers and I even cried with joy when I saw how beautiful my flower crown was. Thanks so much Sarah.

I absolutely loved my flowers. Sarah really brought my vision to life and everyone was complimenting them, particularly the deconstructws flower arch.

Sarah was an absolute Joy to work with and have involved in our big day! From Day 1 contact she was fantastic offering ideas, interpreting what we like (with our limited flower knowledge) and helping us bring our wedding vision to life. She created the most out of this world stunning bouquets for our bridal party with beautiful coloured ribbons to match our wedding theme and flower arrangements that had all guests complimenting them to this day! I could not recommend Sarah anymore, she has a calming approach when organising, her manner was a pleasure to deal with and gave me every bit of trust that our flowers would be beautiful within our budget. After each conversation I found myself so excited for our wedding day!
Thanks you so much Sarah for making our day special with your flowers!

Sarah was so amazing, so much detail and thought went into my flowers. She was definitely very organised and prepared and well ahead of time before our wedding. She really interpreted what I wanted (even when I didn't know how to say what I/we wanted), and the questionnaire I filled in at the start (14/15 months before the wedding) really helped me think about it more and focus on details. My "problem" was I loved SO MANY flowers! In the beginning, what drew me to Sarah was the colours I had seen on a display of hers and that they were Irish. I really appreciate that my flowers were natural, seasonal (almost all), Irish and grown pesticide/insecticide-free. Everyone admired them, the colours and textures, how they were slightly wild and tumbling but still so pretty and everything went so well together.

Sarah was a dream to work with in the lead up to our wedding. We had a small order (thanks Covid!) and I worried that suppliers might not be interested in working with us. This was far from the case with Sarah.
The flowers she delivered to us on the morning of the wedding were sensational. It was like she had picked the flowers fresh that day.
She made sure everyone had what they needed and, my favourite moment, when she gave me a card listing all the flowers used in my bouquet.
I dried the bouquet over my aga when we got home (after three days) and it is still absolutely beautiful.

Where to begin?.
I found Sarah on Instagram, looking through photos of our chosen venue. Every time I saw a bouquet, floral arrangement or wreath I liked and checked the tag - it was Sarah, so I knew I needed her for our (little) big Day. Being a Covid bride was incredibly stressful, from ordering everything online to not getting to actually meet or speak face to face with any of our vendors until the actual day. Putting our trust in someone we've never met, so completely could have been very tough, but it wasn't with Sarah. From the first moment I contacted Sarah she was an absolute dream to work with. Having a very small Covid wedding and thus no real colour palette for the day, not knowing how many people could actually come, never mind how many were going to be in our bridal party, or what they would be wearing, and not even knowing the name of flowers we liked, she could have given up on us very easily, but no, Sarah encouraged us, sent us mock-ups of designs and highlighted colour palettes that would go, along with flowers that she had grown and were actually in season. On days where I was fed up with the word ?wedding? Sarah's excitement and ideas genuinely carried me through and made me excited to have the day again, not just the piece of paper at the end of it. Sarah knew our venue so well and came prepared, working tirelessly to create our dream. Sarah made the most perfect bouquet for me, it was exactly what I had wanted and even though I was never able to articulate my ideas to her, she understood completely, built on ideas and even surpassed my wildest imaginations. We are absolutely so thrilled to have chosen to work with Sarah for our wedding. From her homegrown flowers, her kind and bubbly personality, her creativity and her incredible work, I wouldn't change a thing!

Where do I begin with Sarah..... she was just a breath of fresh air. From the beginning we just clicked, she got my vision for our wedding day completely and I genuinely used to look forward to heading to her studio for a chat and to see all her wonderful treasures. I could NOT recommend Sarah anymore , she thinks outside the box, has an amazing collection of vintage pieces that really added something magical to our day. We didn't want the typical wedding day flowers , I really wanted a combination of dried flowers, feathers and some unusual bits and bobs thrown together and didn't really know where to begin..... Sarah helped me pull all my ideas together and without her our day would not have been the same. We had ?2 wedding days? due to Covid, and the flowers and all our centrepieces were just as beautiful and fresh the second day as they were the first . If I could give Sarah 10/5 I would. I will miss our chats so much ! Thank you Sarah for everything, you went above and beyond what I ever imagined ! Laura & Barry xx

Sarah was an absolute dream to deal with for our wedding. From the moment I discovered her at a wedding fare in Castlemartyre Hotel , I knew she was the lady for our wedding flowers. It's been 3 days since our wedding , and I still cannot stop admiring our flowers. They were everything I wanted AND more. I cannot thank Sarah enough for adding that special touch to our wedding. My bouquet was absolutely beautiful and has taken pride of place on my beloved Grandmothers grave . I will highly recommend Sarah . She is just so talented, and such a beautiful person. Everyone has been praising her work. Thank you Sarah x

We loved our flowers! I was planning a wedding in Ireland from the US and through some example photos and phone conversations, Sarah got my flowers perfect! Everything was beautiful and she was super helpful letting me mail some things to her for the wedding day. The ideas and her suggestions were spot on.

To my absolute delight I choose Flowers from the Secret Garden to do my wedding flowers. I would highly recommend Sarah, her expertise, her advice, her selection, her ideas, her manner, she was a pleasure to deal with! There was no pressure to spend, she truly delivered on what my budget could allow. The flowers were perfect! I will continue to call to Sarah for her beautiful autumnal and Christmas wreaths!

Sarah did our wedding flowers three weeks ago. I had met Sarah for a couple of consultations,I had a fairly good idea of what I wanted but found it hard to put it into words. She had great ideas and just has a wonderful eye for detail. I wanted traditional, simple and elegant and that's exactly what I got. She made flower crowns for my flower girls and a beautiful head piece for me, they were all just Perfect and when I saw them on the morning my vision was a reality. Thanks a million Sarah x

Sarah was brilliant to deal with, great to get back to emails etc. Her bouquets were magnificent, we showed her a few pictures on the day of our consultation and she knew exactly what would suit and her recommendations were spot on. She came recommended to us, and we would highly highly recommend her!

Sarah was an absolute pleasure to deal with. Her flowers truly exceeded our expectations, from the bouquets and gorgeous flower girl crowns to the floral arrangement in the main reception area - they were all so fab! Our guests were marveling over the stunning floral arrangements days after the wedding. We highly recommend Sarah for her creativity and ability to put your vision into reality, along with being so easy and lovely to work with. Thank you Sarah!

We were absolutely delighted with our wedding flowers from Sarah at Flowers from the Secret Garden.
As the father of the groom is an Irish botanist, we knew the flowers were something we needed to get right! Sarah really delivered with beautiful Irish-grown bouquets, buttonholes and arrangements.
Sarah took on board our ideas in terms of the "look" we were going for and came up with brilliant and creative ways to make it happen. She also suggested ways of reusing arrangements from the ceremony at the reception so that we got the most out of our budget, which we really appreciated. Sarah and her team handled everything on the day (including moving arrangements from the church to the reception) and collection of everything the following day, which left us free to get on with enjoying ourselves.
All in all, it was fantastic working with Sarah and we couldn't recommend her more highly.

Sarah is the most talented and creative florist I have ever encountered!!
Sarah did the flowers for a family wedding in December 2018, and was one of my first calls when I had my own wedding date set for 2019! I went to meet Sarah at her nursery in North Cork, to see all the flowers in bloom and see what was in season was amazing. I gave little guidance to Sarah, just the general bridal party colours and trusted her from there. From the bouquets to the button holes, the flowers were breathtaking. The flowers outside the church were really beautiful, I loved the summer colours!!
Thank you so much for adding such a creative and special touch to our wedding day!!

We couldn't have asked for a more breathtaking array at our wedding! Sarah made our dreams come true more than we could have imagined. She came highly recommended, so we reached out a few months before the wedding From our first interaction with her, she impressed us with her knowledge of flower availability (from her garden of course) around the time of our wedding and built bouquets around our wedding vibe and color scheme. Beyond the bouquets, table centerpieces, and boutonni?res, she really impressed us with the little extra details. Flowing silk ribbon ties bouquets, a heart wreath on the door of the church, guest place settings accented with a sprig of lavender - not to mention the gorgeous brass candle stands and vases! Overall couldn't think of anyone I?d rather work with on our wedding day

We chose Flowers from the secret garden for our wedding as I had seen Sarah's work on Facebook and at local weddings. I have also attended her flower workshops. Her bouquets are always stunning. She understood and produced exactly what I wanted for our day. The flowers were fabulous and her professionalism is first class.

Sarah was excellent for our wedding day. We met her months in advance and she gave us great ideas and delivered exactly what we wanted on the day. I cannot recommend her enough she was excellent.

Sarah, it was an absolute pleasure to work with you. From the first day we met you, you were so warm and knew exactly what vision we had for our wedding. You can tell immediately you have a passion for what you do. You gave me so many different options and ways I could achieve the look I was going for, which worked within my budget. I can honestly say you made it such a pleasurable experience choosing the flowers and guiding us through the design that we had envisioned. We cannot thank you enough.

Sarah was very helpful to us in preparing for our wedding in which we were both based abroad during preparation stage, and had to do everything over email and phone call. Sarah was very responsive and provided great suggestions. Lastly, Sarah provided a lovely flower arrangement for the Cake, and liaised very effectively with our Cake provider to come up with the perfect flowers to match the cake theme. I?d definitely recommend Sarah again and will be in touch with her for our next big event in Ireland.

Sarah was such a pleasure to deal with from Day One. Visiting her beautiful garden centre, we settled down over tea to discuss 'the vision'. Sarah is a natural and instantly got what we wanted. With a quick dash to the garden she returned laden with wildflowers and blue hydrangea - over a year before the wedding itself - to give us a sneak peak of what she had to offer. Bringing this mini-bouquet home, we knew we had nothing to worry about. Not only is Sarah a superb florist, she is an amazing wedding stylist who decorated both church and venue impeccably. From the bridal bouquet, flower-girl wands, to the buttonholes and filled urns, our 'Let Love Grow' theme really was complete. Thank you so much Sarah. We'll be forever grateful. Sarah & KD x

Sarah was absolutely a joy to deal with. She understood everything we liked, even if we didn't quite know ourselves! We went in with ideas but didn't know how to put it together. I liked wild flowers, herbs, colourful and seasonal looking flowers including sunflowers - Sarah made it work beautifully. We asked for some personal touches in remembrance candles, buttonholes and bouquets that meant a lot to us. She made our first consultation so easy.
Sarah paid huge attention to detail and the flowers lasted well considering the unnatural heat on the day. Who knew you could show a couple's personality through flowers. Guests still comment on how bright and colourful our day was, especially our flowers.
We cannot recommend Flowers from the Secret Garden enough. Sarah is easy to get on with, passionate about her work and cares about the couple! It was one thing I did not worry about on the day. Cannot thank you enough!!

We got married in a heatwave so obviously I was extremely worried about how the flowers were going to fair out on the day. I really can not thank Sarah enough, she put her heart and soul in to ensuring that our flowers survived the day, and they did! We got so many compliments. Sarah is more than a talented florist, to me she was everything on the day in relation to decorating the venue and adding her own touches. Nothing was ever any trouble and the venue was fabulous. I think Sarah understood my vision more than I did myself. I would highly recommend Sarah for your big day... she is amazing at what she does!!!

I can't recommend Sarah and her flowers enough! I had the most amazing flowers and they were exactly what I wanted on the day. Sarah listened to me and gave me great advice and ideas regarding my flowers. She worked around my budget which was very important to me. Sarah was so easy to deal with. Looking back on my photos I still love my flowers and family and friends would comment on them also. ????????????????????

Sarah was an excellent florist and decorator. We had a great brainstorming session earlier in the year and she took care of the rest. She gave us ideas of what she could do and we were able to veto what we didn't like. She also made it clear what she could do and what we should do also, she was very helpful. It was important to us that Sarah made a lot of the creative decisions as we wouldn't have much of an instinct for what would look good and she did just that. Not only were the flowers beautiful but Sarah also provided a beautifully decorated arch and decorated the dinner tables which we are indebted to her for. There was never an element of stress. Thank you Sarah for making our wedding beautiful! Lastly Sarah is by far the most reasonably priced florist along with growing many of her own flowers as opposed to importing flowers where possible, it's good to know the flowers didn't have to travel far and we were supporting local growers.

I cannot recommend Sarah and Flowers From The Secret Garden highly enough. I absolutely adored all of our wedding flowers. Sarah is an absolute genius with flowers, and from the first time I spoke to her I knew she would be able to bring my ideas for life. As well as creating beautiful flowers, Sarah was always so easy to contact and was willing to talk through all of my ideas. Thanks again, Siobh?n and Donnacha O Connell

From the moment I met Sarah i knew she was the florist for me . Instantly she understood the vision I had and helped me choose the flowers that would enhance my ideas. She is so professional and just all round lovely ???? never for one second did i worry about the flowers or the set up of our venue as I fully trusted she would not let us down and she definitely delivered what was promised and more . Beautiful unique experience.

Sarah was a dream to have as a florist. I loved the fact that she grows her own flowers, as well as selecting from the flower markets, as being seasonal was an important element to me. She was very creative and very accommodating of all my changes!! She went out of her way to understand exactly what I was looking for and as such the results were perfect. I would very much recommend her for their wedding or any other celebration.
