Origins Florist

It is with great sadness that our little shop in Stevenage is closed with immediate effect. The decision to close has not been an easy one to make. I would like to thank our customers for your support, it has meant so much!
Please continue to support as many local independent businesses as you can. The high st will not disappear if you don't let it.
#sorrytoleave #thanksforyoursupport

How lovely, I return to the kiosk after a wedding yesterday to find that people have been throwing rubbish and dirt from the upper floors where the lifts are. All over my stock I have only just finished cleaning up! I would like to thank the filthy grubs who did this for the final nail in the coffin!

Update on bouquet theft: CCTV doesn't cover the area of my stall and there is too much footage and people on it to check. I have now moved past initial anger and now on to passive aggression.
Origins Florist, flowers good enough to steal since Oct 2018 We prefer you buy them though...
... I would like to thank everyone who has helped, reposted and gave kind words of support. I have purchased my own CCTV for the stall but it still upsets me that I've had to do this.
I am having a flash sale this today and tomorrow so I can make way for fresh stock next week. Some items 50% off!

I've had another bouquet stolen from my stall this one pictured this afternoon. I am beyond furious and utterly disgusted that people think its OK to steal from me. I sold a single bunch of flowers today at £5 I pay £4.50 to park each day I'm in Stevenage to be at the stall. I've lost £30 due to theft! The CCTV has been revised by the staff at the centre and I am waiting for the results. If you have received a bouquet of flowers with my distinctive packaging, then the person ...who gave it to you is a thief!! If anyone has any information about this or knows who has been given one of my bouquets, I and the police would be keen to hear from you. It may seem so trivial but such a small amount means so much to me and the future of my business!!! If you can help catch these people, I would be very grateful!

If anyone received this bouquet as a gift, this has been stolen from my kiosk in the westgate shopping centre in Stevenage. It only cost £12.50 but clearly the person who helped themselves thought that it was free. I would like to be paid for this bouquet. Its a nominal figure for most but it really does make a massive difference.
I am a sole trader and an independent florist. Any money earned pays for the rent on my house, food on our table and pays the bills. I don't have a... guaranteed wage, I'm not on benefits and I work very very hard to make my business work.
If anyone can help, I would appreciate it in tracking down who did this. I am utterly heartbroken, whilst it may seem a small thing for some, it has a huge impact on my family life and on my business

Would like to thank the person who decided to help themselves to a bouquet from my kiosk, without paying for it!!
I hope you enjoy your flowers. The centre are reviewing the CCTV and further action will be taken.
If however you have some sort of conscience and would like to pay £12.50 for your flowers, please call me on 07484709843 I will take payment over the phone.
... I am trying to build a business, it is very tough at the moment and customer support is vital to the success of my business. Thank you.

I love Germini, such a happy flower and it's even fated when we've been catching up with our very first couple we worked for when we relocated here 5 years ago! I never forget faces and it was lovely catching up with them both!

When you want something big and wow! This bouquet was nearly a meter tall, perfect flowers for a retired florist. I have to say, I did feel the pressure making this one but she absolutely loved it!

We wanted to say the biggest thank you to Collette for our amazing wedding flowers, centrepieces and displays. She sourced some fantastic and different flowers & foliage to create something spectacular for us, and they lasted up to a couple of weeks after the wedding.

Collette was so easy to work with; she listened to our vague idea of what we wanted (rustic with a Scottish influence), and didn’t want, and produced something much more than we could have hoped for. Everything was perfect, and the whole venue looked amazing…we had so many compliments from our guests, and we were both blown away when we saw everything all together!

Her easy, relaxed approach meant nothing seemed too much, too difficult, it was just a pleasure – we completely trusted her to do the best she could, and she surpassed our expectations…she just gets it.

We would recommend her to anyone…thank you, thank you, thank you 😊!

Villiers Park Garden Party 8 June - This was the first time I’ve worked with Collette and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Not only did she listen to what we needed for the event but she went out of her way to source the best and most cost-effective flowers to make an impact. She was always friendly and helpful and I’m looking forward to working with her again soon

The arrangements Collette made for our Mum's funeral completely took our breath away; they were stunning. I felt that I put Collette under a bit of pressure when I kept telling her how perfect the arrangements had to be for Mum ... but she delivered and greatly exceeded any expectations I may have had. I honestly, cannot recommend Collette strongly enough - her flowers are truly amazing, and to top it off, she is a lovely, lovely lady x Thank you Collette x

My flowers looked incredible!! Was always there if I needed any help!! And sorted it out when I was unhappy at the very last minute!!! Really listened to what we wanted!! X

I needed to find a florist in an unfamiliar area whilst I was abroad, I liked the sound of Origins Floral and the fact I could order online and I was absolutely delighted with the service and the flowers and so was the recipient. Thank you so much!

From the first phone call enquiry we made to our last goodbye Collette was brilliant. The flowers for the wedding were perfect she really interpreted the remit and incorporated everything we asked for. She is imaginative, accommodating, flexible, patient and has a real "can do" attitude. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Thank you so much Collette x.

Collette was fabulous from the moment I contacted her, up until our wedding day (16 July 16). She listened to my ideas and after some initial communication she provided some sketches, as well as doing a mock up to put my mind at rest.

.

From the delicate twig hearts on the back of the chairs, the ivy & crystals in the chandelier and finally and by no means least the beautiful living table runner.

This was definitely a hit with the guests with plenty of complimentary comments and as soon as I said people could take what they wanted, it was as if a plague of locusts had descended.



Absolutely loved my bouquet and Katie loved her sceptre.

I can't thank Collette enough, as the flowers were just perfect.

Called Collette for some short notice flowers , absolutely thrilled with the quality and service , would highly recommend !

Brilliant service, excellent value and a fantastic end result. Our flowers were absolutely beautiful and Collette and Amy were great. I would definitely use them again and I wound recommend them to anyone
