As we approach the holiday season, we wanted to take a moment to share our heartfelt journey with you. It’s been just over seven months since our family took on the challenge of Blooms, driven by the hope of keeping the spirit of Bradford city alive. We embraced this opportunity with open arms, signing the lease and reaching out to the talented staff. While many chose to explore new adventures or retire, we remain grateful for their contributions.

Our journey has been enriched by the support of experienced mentors from afar, including the amazing team at Interflora. We sought the best in the industry and have been fortunate to receive ongoing guidance from three wonderful, long-established florist business owners.

he past few months have been filled with surprises as we navigated unexpected costs, from insurance for our products to thorough testing that many home florists may overlook. With a mix of personal savings and investments, we’ve approached this venture with a blend of creativity and determination. My background in innovative marketing and business support, alongside our award-winning florist team, has transformed this gamble into a promising journey.

Bradford is a vibrant city, and we simply couldn't let this shop become another boarded-up facade. We’re working tirelessly on exciting plans to elevate our offerings and create something truly special for you all.

As the festive season unfolds, we hope for your support in our endeavor. Here’s to a beautiful Christmas filled with joy and warmth! We eagerly look forward to welcoming you back starting January 11th.

With love and gratitude,

The Blossoms and Co. Family xxx ps. Blossoms was named after my even more beautiful grandaughter
