At Roses + Riffraff, every bouquet + buttonhole is created with love and care. Nothing makes us happier than seeing our flowers become part of your most cherished moments. Here, you'll find kind words and experiences shared by our lovely couples and clients. We hope this gives you a glimpse of the joy and beauty flowers can bring to your special day.
Rosie was a joy and a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Her communication was quick, helpful and friendly and she prepared a proposal that perfectly fit our brief and budget on the first try (even though I had some tricky requests!). We had a call ahead of the wedding to run through everything, so we knew we were in safe hands and she kept us updated with plans as we approached the big day. On the day the flowers were absolutely perfect, bright and fun as we had requested, but still so natural and elegant. She even made flower wands for my children and did some styling at the venue. If you're looking for a talented and affordable florist then I'd 100% recommend Rosie.
Well, where do I start... We couldn't have been happier with how our wedding flowers turned out, they were just what we had pictured and even after our first online meet with Rosie, we knew we were in safe hands.
A chance meet at the venue's menu tasting night and the couple sitting next to us (who we getting married the day after us!) suggested their florist, Rosie. Unsure of whether a florist would be able to take on two weddings in two days, I made the enquiry and thank goodness I did! Rosie was happy to take on our wedding and make it happen for us!
Rosie is an absolute delight to partner with - listens to ideas and visions and is super flexible - happy to switch things out or make alternative suggestions. Rosie is excellent at responding to communication and we never felt as though we were left hanging at any point. On the morning, everything ran like clockwork, Rosie bringing a calm, smiling, relaxed zen - even when the groom's buttonhole got crushed several times! Rosie stayed until after the ceremony to move our bud vases and table centre pieces from the ceremony room to the dining hall - again wanting to make sure everything was just right.
If you're still undecided about a florist or just started looking, you need to send an enquiry to Rosie and meet her - you won't be disappointed!
For our event we wanted to have fresh flowers with as little impact on the environment as possible; for this reason, Roses + Riffraff were the obvious choice.
We really appreciated the thoughtfulness that Rosie put into the beautiful flowers for our event.
We gave her a fairly wide brief but were confident she would create something wonderful as we know that she is passionate about what she does.
Rosie created a display that was colourful yet gentle, and was perfect for the occasion. Thank you, Rosie.
We are so grateful to Rosie for the most stunning wedding flowers. Everything - from the planning process to the wedding day itself - was handled with such thoughtfulness, organisation, and genuine care. The arrangements were even more beautiful than we imagined and brought so much warmth, colour, and personality to our celebration.
Rosie made the whole experience easy and enjoyable, and it was such a comfort knowing our flowers were in her hands. We’re still receiving compliments from guests.
A special bonus: we later learned we’d chosen her favourite colours, which made it feel even more joyful.
Thank you, Rosie, for helping make our day truly special.
Finding the right florist was one of the biggest challenges of our wedding planning, and we struggled to find a vision that really resonated—until we found Rosie. From our first call, we warmed to her instantly. She just seemed to understand exactly what we were looking for; after seeing her proposal, my fiancé turned to me and said, "She just gets it."
Rosie was an absolute joy to work with and was eternally patient as we refined our brief.
One of the most important elements for me was finding a way to honor my father and my granny in a way that felt close rather than sad. I had the idea to incorporate my granny’s bracelet and a ribbon I had embroidered with a blue boat for my dad into my bouquet. Rosie was so sensitive to this and brought the vision to life perfectly; it truly felt like they were walking down the aisle with me.
When I finally stepped out to walk toward my groom, I was taken aback by the beauty of what she had created with the florals and candles. Her use of color is stunning, and we loved the symbolism she weaves into her work. On the day itself, she was such a warm, wonderful presence—it says so much that the bridesmaids all commented on how lovely she was and what a great find she had been!
We would recommend Rosie to any couple in a heartbeat. As a bonus: with her background in accountancy, her quotes and administration are meticulous. She runs her business with as much precision as she does creativity!
Rosie provided all the flowers for our wedding in early November. From the get go she completely got our brief and vibe! We wanted seasonal, textural and something a bit different. We were so blown away by how stunning the flowers were THROUGHOUT. I’m so glad I arranged to have my bridal bouquet pressed so I can enjoy these forever 💗💗💗
In August I got married, and Rosie created the most beautiful arrangements for our wedding! We had a theme of fresh, white florals, and using seasonal blooms Rosie put together gorgeous bouquets for myself and my bridesmaids, buttonholes for the groomsmen and my husband, four absolutely stunning flower crowns for our flower girls, and installed some flowers for the chairs running along the aisle, tying everything neatly together with themed ribbon. Rosie's creativity and professionalism shines through in everything that she does and I couldn't be happier with her work!
My biggest thank you is for the most amazing flowers, they were beyond anything I had ever hoped for. I loved every single flower, every single colour and every single bouquet, buttonhole, bud vase and arrangement and it makes me smile every time I see pictures of them.
