To celebrate British Flowers Week this week, we thought we would share a little bit about how we shop for our flowers, our favourite British Flowers and why we choose to buy British.

As florists we see all kinds of love, from the everyday to the those truly special occasions. We celebrate it and we love being able to turn it into something tangible to give to those you love.
Happy New Year 2018!

Christmas door wreaths and festive decorations
Christmas
It is hard to believe that November is upon us already, signifying the start of the busy season. Preparations are already underway for Christmas in our the studio. With December being one of our busiest times of the year, we always start early!
We will be on hand to help create all kinds of floral arrangements to make your home or office feel that little bit more special over the festive period.
Christmas Door Wreaths
We create our Christmas wreaths using a variety of foliages from traditional pines to more modern olive leaf and eucalyptus.
If you fancy something more decorative or colourful we can add anything from cinnamon sticks, oranges, limes, pine cones, berries, Lichen or red dogwood branches, lotus seed heads to colourful baubles and candy sticks. We stock a range of lovely ribbons too, the choice is yours…
Big or small, we can create a lovely wreath to suit your front door.
Advent Wreaths
Advent wreaths usually have four candles placed around a wreath for a table. The candles are to be lit each Sunday in the lead up to Christmas signifying the four weeks of advent.
Table Centrepieces and Decorations
Whether it be a single wreath and candle to be placed in the middle of your table, a garland or a series of smaller vase arrangements we can create something beautiful for your Christmas table.
Corporate flowers
We can create a beautiful, bespoke bouquet for your valued clients and customers. If you would like us to put together a small gift of a scented candle to accompany your flowers we can also arrange this.
For something truly unique we can arrange of container of scented hyacinth bulbs, paper white Narcissi or a basket of orchids for a gift that will last that little bit longer.
Arrangements for your home
Ensure that your home looks lovely for the inevitable onslaught of houseguests and visitors by ordering a vase arrangement.
If you have a particular favoured place in your home for the arrangement to go and you are local, we can come and install it for you. Otherwise we can deliver arrangements in the vase, or as a bouquet, which can be easily added to a vase on arrival.
If you would like us to continue to replace your arrangements over the festive season this can also be arranged.
We love creating unique and special arrangements for our clients, if there is something in particular you would like us to arrange for Christmas please do get in touch to discuss it with us, the more notice you can give us the better!
Remember that we provide flowers for all kinds of occasions, however big or small. If you are hosting a dinner party and would like something for the table or if you would just like your home filled with vase arrangements we can help.

A New Year ahead…
New Year
Happy New year and all good wishes for what the year ahead may bring…
The sun is shining and spring cut flowers are in abundance, beautiful scented narcissi, hyacinths, ranunculas, anemones and lilac, displaying cheerful promise for what lies ahead for 2017.
Pleased to say we have had a good start, with many bouquet London flower deliveries. Lots of people sending ‘Thank you’ flowers and many celebrating January birthdays. The favourite at the moment is our Seasonal hand tied bouquet and our planted baskets of spring bulbs. Enquiries also already being made for wedding flowers, private dinner party flowers and London Design week which is taking place in March. A good time to plan and book those special dates in the diary. Not forgetting British flower week! The week long celebration of British flowers and foliages.
The beginning of March will see a big change for The New Covent Garden Flower Market, as it moves to new premises…sad to have to say good bye to the old market – have lots of memories since my childhood, accompanying my father during school holidays and giving a helping hand, happy times! I wish everyone the best of luck with move.
Planted baskets start from £20.00 -Look lovely sitting in a kitchen window..
Bouquets can be made to any budget, recommend a starting price from £ 45.00. Not many better ways than this, to make a special gift of thanks!
Christmas has arrived at Kensington Flowers
Christmas at KF
We have been busy preparing for Thanks Giving and Christmas
All our advent rings and door wreaths are lovingly made to order and bespoke. We make each wreath ourselves at the studio, from the mossing of the wire frames to the wiring of all the pine, fruits, cones…etc.
Choose from a wide selection of decoration – simply plain pine or decorated with fresh red berries, cones, dried fruits, eucalyptus pods, lotus heads, lichen branches, cinnamon sticks, ribbons or no ribbon, fixed foliages, mixed pines…..the choice is here.
If you are not of fan of traditional pine, we also make olive wreaths, mixed foliage wreaths, eucalyptus wreaths, and we even made a Brussel sprout wreath last year by special request!

September Wedding
September wedding
Not long back to work after the summer holidays and we had our first wedding of the season – A small family service at Christchurch, Kensington then to follow a celebratory reception at the Lanesborough Hotel, Knightsbridge.
It was a fresh, all white floral theme celebrating the last days of summer with white hydrangeas, scented freesia, avalanche roses, spray roses and phlox throughout, from the church displays, the bridal flowers to the table arrangements for the wedding breakfast.
Welcome to our new website
Welcome
Hello and a warm welcome to the new Kensingtonflowers website!
We are so happy about the changes we’ve made and hope you enjoy browsing through our updated online shop. We now offer more choices of bouquets, arrangements and plants to choose from – you can now even order flowers for a whole year, as a very special gift to a friend or loved one. Here at the shop, we often get requests from clients who wish to send flowers on a regular basis, usually once a month, and so we thought it made sense to have this service available to order on our website…Hope you like it!
You can now order from us whilst on the move too from your mobiles, pay by paypal, have direct links to our social media pages…making it even easier to get in touch with us. All very exciting!
Calendar flowers – order flowers for a month, 3 months, 6 months or a year!
It is now just over a year since we’ve moved premises to our flower studio in Victoria Grove, and can’t believe how quickly the time has passed. I hope you feel the spirit of the shop through our new website and I’ll endeavour to keep you updated with our news and activities on this blog.
