Just wanted to let you know that my son got married and I did all the flowers and they were really pleased with them and they looked great in the pictures. Thank you for all your tips. I really enjoyed the course.

I wanted to say a big thank you for such an inspiring lesson yesterday. Mum and I really enjoyed learning with you and you were so generous with your time and advice. Thanks for such a fun afternoon.

I contacted Vanilla Rose to enquire about training and asked for a package that was not on the course list. Rachael came back to me and put together a day’s session with the classes I required. I had a very eventful day and completed my training. What was wonderful for me, was being able to make a “Dad” tribute for my best friends’ dad’s funeral. During the training I learnt loads of tips and put together flowers that I would never have done before. I would like to thank you for the one to-one training you gave me. It was more personal and a pleasure to do the training. It made my day and I know it helped me to fulfil my request to help my friend at a sad time.
