MANY THANKS TO ALL MY LOVELY BRIDES AND FAMILIES FOR TAKING THE TIME TO VOTE FOR ME..AND ALL YOUR HEART WARMING COMMENTS.........
“Sara at Aqua Flowers was an absolute joy and dream to work with, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. We went to see her for an initial consultation, and she completely understood what we wanted behind our theme of "Contemporary Classic Cotswolds", and talked through our ideas, helping us understand what we did and didn't want. However, it was the fact that she is so friendly and happy, and genuinely wants to work within your budget to give you exactly what you want, within the budget you can afford. And that's exactly what we got a beautiful Cotswold wedding, with the most amazing flowers
.
Sara had great ideas, but was very happy to help us enhance our own. The moment we met her we knew she was the right person for us! She went out of her way to source items specifically for us and imaginatively encorporated our items into her designs. It was wonderful to have her as part of 'our team'

“we were recommended aqua florist by our wedding planner. As the groom i was not very excited by the idea of arranging flowers but i went along to the initial meeting where i met sara. Sara welcomed me and my wife like long lost friends, so warm and genuine. Sara asked us questions about our theme, what we wanted and then her creative streak took over. she came up with ideas we would never have thought about, to bring our theme to life. Leaving that meeting i was excited to attend the next one to see what she would come up with. On the second meeting she did not disappoint, she had come up with how she would make sandcastles out of flowers to reflect our retro-beach theme and make ice cream sundaes on other tables. Even though sara was busy with other weddings she made us feel like we were the only one. On the day of the wedding, i went to the venue before the reception to help the setup. i was amazed at what sara had produced. On the tables there were fantastic sandcastles made out of flowers. i couldn't believe she had pulled it off. i had never seen anything like it. Sara also made the bouquet for my wife. it was delicate but still had lots of detail and looked amazing All of our guests commented on the flowers and they set off our theme to perfection. We are truly grateful for sara for what she created for us.
Sara is a very talented Florist. From our first meeting in her spectacular workshop to the day of the wedding the advice and quality of service was unbeatable. I cried when I saw the beautiful flowers set out for or ceremony - She had exceeded every expectation. Our wedding was in the amazing garden of Barnsley House and still her exquisite displays became a talking point for our guests. The colour of the flowers and foliage used complimented the internal decor of Barnsley House completely. Her imaginative use of crab apples as a base for the table settings showed both flair and style. The following day Sara arrived early and all the displays and table settings were set into fabulous bouquets that I could give to my guests. The price was well below our guestimate. Sara had not hiked up the price like so many other florists and provides a personal, unbeatable service.
My mum attended a supplier wedding fair at our venue where I asked her to investigate the florists that had previously worked at The Kingscote Barn. On meeting Sara, she knew that she and I would hit it off, and she was right. Sara's approach when we met was to ask many questions about our wedding plans, and to understand what we wanted from the day overall, and the role that the flowers and decoration would play in that. It certainly wasn't a case of 'this is what we offer, take it or leave it' it was a truly bespoke, personal service. Sara took a great interest in understanding our budget for this element of the day, and to come up with inventive, creative solutions and suggestions that were spot on for what we were trying to achieve. As we were getting married in Bristol with the reception in Kingscote, I felt sure that Sara would not be keen to accommodate the flowers for the service, but I was wrong. Sara was more than happy to provide all of the flowers for both the reception and service, and arranged for them to be delivered to our house in Bristol on the morning of the wedding whilst she was busy decorating the reception venue. Her suggestion of using pre-loved candles in the lanterns and candle holders was inspired, and certainly a sign of how for her it was important to give the best service she could to a client, and not looking for ways to get the most she could out of a gig. This was a refreshing approach amongst many other suppliers in the industry who didn't seem to have the same thoughts. I would not hesitate to recommend Sara at AQUA to any other brides, and in fact I do so whenever I speak to anyone getting married in the area. She was a pleasure to deal with.”
“From the minute we met Sara we knew she would get it right for us. She was able to create ideas from the flowers & vases etc in her workroom which meant we had a good idea of the level of her work. Good luck Sara x”“
i had no understanding of flowers at our first meeting, i only had an idea or a dream of how i would like my wedding flowers to look. Sara listened and literally made my dreams come true. she truely is amazing at what she does. she is so creative and has this great sence of enjoyment and excitment which she injects into every display she creates. I will be recommending Sara to everyone and anyone who will listen!”
“Utterly wonderful and professional experience. From start to finish Sara was a joy to work with and really understood our needs. Worth every penny. I only wish we lived local, so we could find an excuse to use her again! Easily the best in the trade.”
“Having met Sara for the first time, I knew she would be a perfect florist for our wedding. She took on board my very limited ideas and on the day ensured that our guests were wowed with the quality and freshness of the flowers as well as the table centre pieces and my bridesmaids corsages. She even sourced the church flowers for my aunty to do at no extra cost and lent us some items to give our venue an authentic feel. She's a real gem.”
“Sara is an amazing florist with a real eye for what will look great. Nothing seems to faze her.”
“Sara Tuckey was absolutely amazing, my mother and her immediately hit it off (a must for any bride to be that their mother is happy). Sara was able to take one look at the picture of my dress and know exactly what was required to compliment it. She gave invaluable advice about the wedding venue as she had worked their before and was able to change things at the last minute, for example we ask her to find trees for hire that were not bay trees and she can back with some beautiful olive trees complete with olives. She was the only florist who would design the table centre for us as it was complicated by a tiffany cardboard box being in the centre, other florist said it would be impossible not to get the box wet but Sara managed to come up with the design around this limitation. On the day she was really keen about every detail (not just the flowers) but at all the other the wedding details, making sure the bridesmaids corsages were tied correctly and enthused over the dress, which made the day even more special”
“Sara is a fantastic person. She always made us feel so special, nothing was to much trouble! She is so very creative, with wonderfull ideas, her arrangments were beautifull!! and were admired by all of our guests. The flowers have lasted very well so that we are still able to enjoy them. We will not hesitate to reccomend Sara to family and friends.”
“Really impressed with Sara, my friend also used her for her wedding based on what we had seen of her work”
“Sara has a huge talent for creating each bride's vision to suit their individual demands and needs. My flowers were absolutely gorgeous and as the thing I had least control over (you never truely know how they will look until the day) I couldn't have been happier!
“Sara created stunning flowers for our wedding day. The bouquets were so vibrant, the colours matched the bridesmaid dresses to perfection colour wise and all she had to go by was a photograph to match the colours to. Her creations were so stunning I initially thought they would be out of our price band however were very reasonable in price and exceeded our expectations by far. One of my lasting memories for my wedding day was walking down the aisle to my husband to be and for the first time seeing the table decorations Sara had created. They literally took my breath away, the flowers played such a significant part in the best day of our lives and with our photographs as a reminder we will never forgot how beautiful our flowers were.”
“Sara at Aqua was the perfect florist- she was creative, knowledgable, helpful, and produced the perfect flowers for our big day. I cant thanks her enough for her help- what she achieved was absolutely stunning- i have never seen flowers as beautiful at a wedding before or since. She also has a wicked dense of humour and made the whole process something to enjoy.”
Why They Booked (in random order)
“After meeting and talking to her, we realised she actually listened to us and would be able to turn our ideas into reality.”
“Sara just clicked with both myself and my mum, nothing was too small for he to do and she took care of every detail. She also managed to design a table centre which others had told us was impossible.”
“After my first meeting with Sara I knew she understood 'my vision' and would do everything to help create something amazing for my wedding.”
“Because we loved how we felt when we saw Sara, and we loved her enthusiasm. The creation on the day was just AMAZING and all our guests commented on the flowers. We wanted vintage flowers but in a clean contemporary setting, so no jam jars, watering cans etc! She provided beautiful glassware, with mirrors and petals and candles to finish the setting and the most amazing archway around the ceremony area which incorporated a horseshoe that my dad found shortly after we got engaged - we painted it gold and she fixed it among the flowers above the ceremony table. Just brilliant.”
“Sara went out of her way to accomodate our small budget and although we only met her once, her warmth and professionalism shone through and thats why we booked her. Thoroughly recommended.
It wasn't just because of the coffee and biscuits ! Sara was easy to get on with, came up with great ideas and made our flowers look exactly as promised.”
“We loved the fact that Sara was a talented florist working alone and not from a shop using Saturday girls. Her exquisite work shop oozed with class and it was clear to see she was very talented.”
“Initially just by going on the website as we don't live local, but after our first meeting we knew she was the one for the job. The website is not too fussy and doesn't hide anything, it has a good design and is easy to use. Sara has a wonderful workshop and you really feel involved with it all when you visit. Sara is welcoming every time. You almost feel like family which is lovely. Tea, biscuits and all the time in the world, you're fully aware of how busy she is but you are never rushed out the door. Sara is an experienced florist and it shows in her work, she is a warm friendly person who really takes time to understand your needs.
”“I had seen her flowers in a similar style that I wanted in the same room and thought it look amazing.”
“Quality of service, a bespoke service to fit our requirements and budget, and total confidence in Sara as a supplier - knowing we would get what we wanted on the day and I didn't have to give it a second thought.”
“I trusted her creative side to produce exactly what i wanted, and we were right to do so. Although she was not quite the cheapest florist, i believe that what she produced for us was exceptional value for money, helping us to make the most of our beautifuk venue. I would choose her again without a doubt. In fact, my sister is getting married next year and i have convinced her to book Aqua too!!”
“Sara goes those few steps further when compared to other regular florists and that is exaclty what i was after. On our first meeting we clicked instantly and i knew that she would create exactly what i was looking for.”
“A fantastic service for a fantastic price and due to sara enthusiasm, creativeness and friendliness”
“The website and photo gallery was what attracted us initially, when we met Sara she quickly grasped what we wanted for our big day and was able to create what we wanted within the budget we set.”
“Sara hit the nail on the head with what I wanted, having seen her work at a fair and a brides comments without Sara being around, I knew I wanted her to do my flowers...her flexibility, attention to detail and interest in our day all added to her service”
“Lovely friendly person who put us at our ease. Sara had some fantastic ideas and used beautiful flowers but all the time was conscious that we had a budget to keep to.”
