I have been a florist for many years and I love what I do! I have owned Vida Flores since its incarnation in 2000.
My aim was to offer a complete flower retail package, where our customers could get great service, beautiful flowers for gifts, home / office, events and to help people learn all about flowers and to feel good about  arranging themselves. For people to see and feel the importance of flowers in there surrounds. I feel we achieve this every day.
One of the aspects of my business that I enjoy the most is to design and create flower installations for events. The challenge to create something new and exciting for each new event – so often this is for repeat clients, is the most satisfying part of what I do. See our blog for our ever changing gallery of works.
The best part of all our days is to get a ‘wow’ from people that see our flowers. The whole point is for flowers to make people happy, and if that is what we contribute to someone’s day, all the better!
Newmarket is the perfect place for us as it is a fashion and design hub, we are tucked away in a fabulous little street with lots to see and do. Our windows are always a highlight, some ask ‘is it a florist or is it a gallery?’ and we really like it that way.
