The Florist On The Hill

I was totally blessed to get Carolyns name when my son and wife to be booked their wedding at Durhamstown castle .Then started a magical journey of exploring flowers grown with love .It was a delight to deal with Carolyn who was so full of warmth and creativity .I felt as months progressed we had this super ace card and knew people would be enchanted when the day arrived .Carolyns professionalism and direct approach gave me confidence that all would come into fruition. And it did in spades . Boquets raved about , flowers admired as individuals "Are they really real ?"Those dahlias really know how to make an impression .Overhanging flowers , flowers in milk urns flowers peeping from surprising places all charmed. The ultimate centre piece of course the happy couple lighting their unity candle was framed against a divine ceremonial ring a vision to cherish forever. The memory of the wedding for us all and most importantly of the bride and groom is framed by flowers .. such a great way to remember the most special of days Thanks Carolyn ... you and your creativity brought it all to Durhamstown .Forever grateful .The Furlongs ??????????

Carolyn prepared my beautiful bouquet for my wedding on the 24th of June. Carolyn asked what my favourite colour was (it’s purple!) and we took it from there! From our very first contact I knew I had made the right decision. I visited her garden where I could tell her which flowers I loved, and she advised what would be seasonal for the day. She enquired on my likes and dislikes and tailored the bouquet to my every request. The flowers were grown around the corner from our home, which made it even more special. My dress was quite plain and the colour pop from the bouquet elevated my look past what I could have imagined. My sister was also delighted with her bouquet and put them in a vase after the day. I received too many complements on the bouquets to count! The flowers were hand delivered by Carolyn herself on the day, which kept them so fresh the bees were equally delighted to see them. When my veil was clipped back to front by the hairdresser on the morning of my wedding, Carolyn and her nimble fingers saved the day on that one too and she seamlessly corrected this in an instant. Carolyn delivers excellence from the personal flower requests down to the colours and material of the ribbon matching my shoes. She is a professional and passionate about what she does which shines in her work. I cannot recommend Carolyn enough, thank you so very much. Ena and Ian Harding

Carolyn was a pleasure to work with. She was always quick to respond and extremely accommodating in the lead up to our wedding day. I absolutely loved my bouquets and so many people complimented them. The colours were so vibrant and looked so striking in our photographs. Thanks so much Carolyn! ??????????

“From the moment we got in touch with Carolyn regarding flowers for our wedding day, we knew we had made the right decision. Her enthusiasm and passion was evident from the get-go, and was infectious! We felt very involved in the process of choosing our flowers but were given expert advice where needed. Carolyn designed a beautiful mood board to show us her ideas for our big day. She was very understanding and accommodating when things were looking a bit shaky with Covid... On the day our flowers were absolutely incredible and all of our guests commented on them. Carolyn set everything up perfectly that morning. We had beautiful centrepieces, a ceremony ring, and Carolyn made a floral headpiece for my hair.. the headpiece was absolutely beautiful, lightweight, and so comfortable to wear. It remained perfectly in place until the wee hours of the morning. I could not recommend Carolyn highly enough." ?????????? Andrea Bowe

Carolyn was my florist for my wedding in August and her work was absolutely stunning. I honestly couldn't have been happier. To know that they were grown with such care and arranged with such love was the most special thing. I spoke with Carolyn numerous times before the wedding, she was dedicated to getting it exactly right, making sure I was happy at every step. The results were beyond my expectations. Not only is Carolyn professional and extremely talented but she is always a pleasure to deal with. My bouquet included some very sentimental flowers and keepsakes which made me feel as though the ones I loved who have passed away were right there with me. If you are getting married soon and searching for a florist, do yourself a favour and contact Carolyn ??" ?????????? Jane Fogarty 2021
