Sandras Florist
After an incredible 55 very productive years of running her successful floristry business Sandra has decided its time for some much deserved rest and relaxation and has retired, and Sandra's florist has ceased trading.
So, sadly we have delivered our last beautiful bouquet, created our last stunning wedding flowers and heartfelt handmade tributes.
We would like to thank you all of our amazing loyal customers for their support since Sandra began trading in 1968.
However, the greatest thanks go to all the amazing team members that have brought so much joy to so many. Whilst Sandra began the business on her an at age 18, it wasn't long before she had the support of so many wonderful dedicated individuals that made the magic happen.

We would highly recommend Sandra's Florist to everyone.

Hi David, thank you for your review. We’d welcome the opportunity to speak with you, find out more details, and see how we could resolve this. Unfortunately we’ve had to reduce our staff levels to ensure we remain a COVID secure work place, this occasionally leads to the necessity of pre-ordering. We’re very sorry that we were not able to help you on this occasion, but do hope you’ll give us the opportunity to resolve the matter or help you again in the future. Kind regards the team at Sandra’s.
Fantastic experience: I received a surprise bouquet and just knew they had to have come from Sandra’s. A most beautiful selection of blooms and a bonus was the plant food and instructions. Sandra is always very helpful if one has a flower related query. I hope I get more surprises like this!

Fantastic experience: The service we received from Sandra was exceptional, we were delighted. We required a very specific, 'heath land' and more natural style coffin spray for my father - a keen walker. Sandra sourced and presented a stunning, and perfectly accurate representation of our wishes. It drew many compliments and was exactly what we, and my Dad, would have wanted. Thank you very much.
Thank you so much for your kind words Juliet . We're so pleased you were delighted with the Father's coffin spray. We always aim to exceed expectation and are happy to go the extra mile, we believe this is especially important for funerals and hope it brought you some comfort. Best wishes Sandra and the team.

Hi Jake, we always do our best to delight our customers with beautiful flowers and excellent service and we're thilled that's exactly what you experienced. Thanks for the review.
Fantastic experience: Always helpful & lovely flowers
Your very kind Sylvia, those two points are always our aim!
Fantastic experience: Sandra provided wonderful flowers for our wedding on April 13, 2019. We sat down with Sandra herself (she personally gets involved in wedding arrangements) about 4 months prior to our wedding, and she attentively listened to what we were after with table centre pieces, bouquets, and buttonholes etc. She made suggestions in keeping with our desires, and ultimately produced some stunning, yet simple arrangements. She, incredibly kindly, offered to drive to our venue (Salisbury) early morning on the day of our wedding to set everything up and deliver the bouquet et al. The venue did not have the tables ready at that point, but Sandra was able to show one set up to the staff, who replicated it on all other tables. She had prepared the table decor into ready sets, so that the venue could easily set up. The bouquets and buttonholes were boxed and safely distributed. The total cost was a very reasonable, and service was perfect. I would highly recommend and certainly use Sandra’s again for any florist requirements!
Tim thank you for sharing your kind words and experience of Sandra's Florist. Wedding flowers are so important, we're always pleased to go the extra mile (when ever we can) to ensure both the planning and the execution of the bridal and ceremony wedding flowers are just perfect. You and your bride deserve nothing less. Very best wishes Sandra and the team.

The flowers were fresh, beautifully arranged and lasted for ages. Thank you for making my daughters birthday extra special! I shall certainly use Sandra's florist again and would highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: My son and I created our own flower arrangement for the top of my dear Mum's coffin as we wanted to include flowers from her garden. The help and advice that Sandra gave us was invaluable. She also specially ordered a chosen selection of beautifully fresh flowers and if that wasn't enough, a lovely member of staff went the extra mile and delivered to our home some lavender and buddleia that she picked from her own garden. Their customer service is unrivalled. Thank you so much.

My wife described the flowers as absolutely perfect and amazing - something I am so grateful for - her Gramps meant the world to her so it meant a lot to hear those thoughts. Thanks all.
Fantastic experience: A wonderful Florist, Not only did Sandra do an amazing job on my wedding flowers a few years back, she more recently created a beautiful butterfly wreath for a friend's funeral at very short notice and made it to fit my budget. The team at Sandra's are always friendly and welcoming and their creations are beautiful. I would highly recommend this florist.
