“Clare did an amazing job recreating my wife's wedding bouquet for our 1st 'Paper' wedding anniversary. The quality and detail she achieved from a few photos I sent her was incredible. And all in a relatively short time frame. It certainly brought a tear to my wife's eye when she opened up the gift."

"I can't thank Clare enough for the beautiful flowers we received for our first wedding anniversary! I asked Clare for 3 of the main flowers from my wedding bouquet and couldn't be happier with the results. They look so realistic and match the pictures perfectly! Clare was brilliant at responding to any questions I had and got back to me quickly, I highly recommend this company! Thank you so much Clare!"

"We ordered a recreation of our daughters wedding bouquet from Clare as a Christmas present. An extremely professional experience from start to finish and the end result was just so amazing!!. The quality and skills used are like none we've seen before. The arrangement is so life like, its like our daughter has her exact bouquet transported back from Canada! Needless to say, she was over the moon with her Christmas present. The display itself was packaged extremely well for transport. And we received exactly when Clare said we would, even with all the postal strikes. We can't recommend Petal & Bird highly enough.
Clare, thank you SO much for helping make our daughters Christmas one she will never forget."

“Clare recreated our wedding bouquets in a frame as a first anniversary present for my wife. She was a pleasure to work with and responded quickly to all of my emails. The finished frame is perfect and the flowers look very realistic. Can't recommend Petal and Bird enough - Clare is a magician. Thank you!"

Clare was brilliant from the first contact we had with her.
Her attention to detail is amazing, meaning she had captured the smallest details in that were hidden away in the bouquet, and the colours in the finished product are perfect. This bouquet was a surprise present and it has blown her away! Absolutely stunning work.

“Our wedding was delayed due to the pandemic but during our original planning we were able to visit Clare in her home. We were immediately taken by Clare’s attention to detail and passion for her work being able to see some of her previous remarkable creations. After this initial meeting we knew that we wanted Clare’s flowers at our wedding. Despite the subsequent cancellations and date changes, Clare remained in close contact with us, checking on any new requests or changes or other thoughts we might have had and updating us frequently (all the while with a new baby to work around!). We immediately fell in love when we finally got to see her work which was exactly what we had envisaged. Everything was perfectly made and arranged with astonishing levels of detail (including individual pieces of pollen within the flowers!). Despite the incredible detail and delicacy of the work everything was sturdy and withstood the rigours of a busy wedding day. The colours are incredibly vibrant and really sing in each picture of them. Best of all their permanence mean we get to keep them forever (as well as making excellent gifts to the bridesmaids and groomsmen). Words can’t really do Clare’s flowers justice but we would hugely recommend her as a person and her work. Thank you very much!"

“We were finally able to have our wedding on Saturday. My flowers were absolutely beautiful and people honestly did not believe me when I told them they were paper- they got so many compliments! Thank you so much again, beyond anything I could have hoped for. "
Jessica

“We honestly can’t thank you enough for our beautiful wedding flowers. I still can’t get over the fact they’re paper, I kept trying to smell them, they look so real. I loved that we could have whatever flowers we wanted no matter the season and it was perfect that they last so long after we had to delay the first date. It was really special having sweet peas in the bouquet to remind me of my Nanny and we both loved having the lord of the rings book page roses in there too. You’re so incredibly talented and we will treasure our flowers for many years to come."

“11 years of my original flowers box framed left them looking sad and nothing like the ones on my big day. Clare managed to recreate my bouquet and buttonholes to an outstanding level...if I'd know about her I'd have used her flowers on my wedding day! They are stunning and look just like my wedding photos.
Thank you Clare you are amazingly talented!"
Rebecca

“I am so so glad I came across Petal & Bird!! Clare is so brilliant and creative and she was also very helpful with any questions I had.
I absolutely adore my paper bouquet and the fact I can keep it forever. I also loved that I could have exactly the flowers I wanted without having to worry about the season! I chose the flowers to match our birth months along with foliage to remind me of my family back home who couldn’t make the wedding due to travel restrictions.
Clare tied all these elements together so beautifully and made a matching flower crown for me and button holes for my husband and son. These were perfect too and I was impressed with how strong the flowers were too despite looking so delicate!"

Clare took time to understand what we were after, worked from photographs supplied and made something truly stunning that our friends love and will enjoy for many years. I’d definitely recommend Petal & Bird to anyone looking for a unique gift. Thank you Clare - what you create is amazing!"

Ellie

“Amazing service! Clare is so creative, thoughtful and enthusiastic, her attention to detail and sense of colour takes the flowers to a new level. I had a very vague idea of what I wanted for my wedding flowers, I attempted to share my thoughts and feelings of what I wanted; though the idea wasn't fully fleshed out, Clare took it and brought it to life! It was exactly what I saw in my head but couldn't articulate.
Collecting the flowers before the wedding really reduced the level of stress on the day, and they were beautifully packaged.
The flowers were a wedding day showstopper and still look gorgeous months later!"

“ I feel like we already know each other thanks to my lovely husband Mark Hooper. I am Mrs Hooper, Becky. I have this morning opened my beautiful paper flower display. I am absolutely blown away by this piece. I was actually very confused as I knew my actual flowers had been dried and pressed by my mum so didn't understand how this had been created. Your work is incredible and I can't thank you enough for the level of effort and love you put into your work"

"I was highly recommended Petal and Bird by a friend of mine after I was looking for corsages for my bridesmaid, my Mum and mother in law to be. Clare's flowers looked amazing, I wanted something that could be kept after if wanted and looked classy. Clare assured me they would travel well as my wedding was in Portugal. They came perfectly boxed and travelled so well. Thank you Clare everyone loved them"

"Clare made the groomsmen the most beautiful flower pins for my wedding last year. I ordered my flowers wholesale and a friend arranged them for me, so I had no actual flowers to show Clare in order for her to make complimentary paper flowers. I sent her screen shots from google of the flowers I had ordered and some pretty vague info and she basically managed to read my mind and create the absolute perfect pins that matched the bouquets perfectly. She also made a lovely flower hair band for my mum who isn’t a big ‘fascinator’ type of lady and she was so pleased with it. It matched her outfit but was quite discreet which she wanted. Clare delivered everything to my door herself and it was all wrapped in gorgeous paper and put in lovely boxes. It just all felt really special. She is just wonderful and I am so glad that we have the paper flowers to last forever"
Lauren

"My Husband gave me my paper (first) anniversary present. He’d had a replica of my wedding bouquet made out of paper from the talented @petalandbird ! I loved my bouquet, but plants don’t last. So now I have one that will. It was an amazing surprise and such a beautiful gift"
