Fantastic experience: We first met Marie at the wedfest where I held one of her bouquets and cried more than when I bought my dress :D. I was delighted she was free for our wedding to do the bouquets for all the girls and I ( also boutonnieres and flower wrist bands for the Mothers) Great communication also. Absolutely loved the flowers thank you ever so much! Would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: When I first saw the flowers delivered on the morning of my wedding I was speechless, they were so breath taking! I had only 2 reference images and asked for BIG and colourful and to say the brief was ✨nailed✨ is an understatement! AMAZING! I would highly recommend To Have and To Hold Flowers

Negative experience: Flowers didn't arrive until we called enquiring why they weren't there. I normally wouldn't mind but £8 delivery for it to not show up & have the delivery driver claim they were already dropped in is kinda ridiculous.

Maggie Kelleher Byrne Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: This independent women-run florist is my go-to any time I am gifting someone a bouquet. The customer service is impeccable, and the arrangements are always lovely and stay fresh for at least a month. I don't know how they do it! Not only this but TH&TH supplied my wedding flowers. All the guests had loads of compliments for the bouquets, corsages, and buttonholes, I would recommend them to any future brides, grooms, or debutantes! Finally, the location on MacCurtain street is ideal if you're in town - making it so easy to support a local Cork business!

Fantastic experience: The prettiest little flower shop tucked inside the Metropole Hotel. A great use of space full of beautiful bountiful bouquets. My valentines arrangement was just perfect. There's a well stocked range of scented candles, wax melts, and pretty poseys to choose from. If you don't see something you like, the ladies will make you a bespoke bouquet without any fuss. Great addition to MacCurtain St. It's blooming great!

Fantastic experience: Having received a stunning bouquet of flowers from To Have and To Hold Flowers a few months ago I was blown away by how exquisite and creative they were and they smelled beautiful also .
