Can I book a time slot for delivery with Enchanted Rose Florist?

  • We do timed deliveries for weddings and funerals.
  • Unfortunately we can not give an exact time on our daily flower deliveries as we do area by area to keep mileage consumption down and orders go out in a timely manner. However we will do our very best to give you an idea of when a delivery will be done on the day of delivery if required. 

Do Enchanted Rose Florist do funeral flowers?

  • Yes we do all aspects of funeral arrangements. We understand that picking the right floral arrangements for your loved ones is extremely important at this very difficult time. We want you to feel comforted and reassured that we at Enchanted Rose Florist will listen carefully to your requirements and help guide and support you through the process. 

Are you Eco- Friendly at Enchanted Rose Florist

  • We are very pleased we can offer Eco-Friendly flower bouquets, eco-friendly funerals arrangements and eco-friendly wedding arrangements.
  • Why do you buy from your flower markets instead of buying your flowers from UK local flower farmers?
    Unfortunately for Enchanted Rose Florist as an independent small florist business. We are finding it extremely difficult to purchase from local flower farmers at the moment. As the farmers we have already tried require us to buy in very large volumes and the price on each flower stem is far too expensive for us and would be extremely expensive for our customers to buy. Therefore as much as we would loved to support our local flower farmers and become even more eco-friendly they can’t support us at this present time.

How are you helping the environment?

  • We offer eco-friendly bouquet arrangements for all occasions and we offer eco-friendly floral arrangements for funerals and weddings. 
  • We are always open minded in learning new ways to do more eco-friendly arrangements and learning new ways of incorporating more eco-friendly products.
  • We try to do our best to plan our deliveries area by area to keep the mileage consumption low.
  • We save all our leftover wraps, cardboard rolls and give them to our local school for the children to re-use in their crafts.
  • We give our flowers that have not made it into our flower arrangements to the local school for the children to learn about them and use in their mud kitchen.
  • We return all our large flower cardboard boxes to the wholesalers who then re-use them.
  • Anything we can not re-use we dispose of it in the appropriate recycling bins.

Who can I bring with me on our wedding consultation?

  • You can bring with you whoever you like. However we wouldn’t recommend more than two or three of you as sometimes to many opinions from all angles you can start to lose your own vision. 

Why have you closed one of your shops?

  • We were in located in Derbion Shopping Centre for three years and we quickly learned we were outgrowing it. We have had the Alfreton shop for over a year so we decided to keep the Alfreton shop. We are a DERBY based family and our beautiful shop is located in ALFRETON, DERBY. That’s it nothing has changed we still deliver to all the DERBY and surrounding areas as we have always done. However now we have more space we can get even more creative. 

What makes you stand out from other local florists?

We are a multi- award winning family florist in the Alfreton, Ripley and Derby area. We have been voted the best 3 florist in Alfreton and Derbyshire areas for a number of years. These awards demonstrate our commitment to the industry and our customers. We have a real bricks and mortar shop premises on the high street we are visible and in easy reach for our customers . This gives our customers the confidence that if they did want to come and speak to us directly face to face we are here for them not like the other online shops.
Our customers know we only sell premium quality flowers. We will not try to under cut other florists by using cheap poor quality flowers, cheap bows and wraps. Our flowers are all high end quality to last, our wraps and packaging is all premium luxury, we use proper quality soft ribbons and bows not cheap alternatives. Our bouquets are large and full of blooms not delivered in small gift bags.

What should you look for when looking for a florist?

We would advise our customers to look further than the price tag as you may think you are getting a good deal but it will not be the case. If you really want a good quality flower bouquet that will last more then a few days then look at the floral packaging, is it made with cheap paper or is it like our beautiful luxury wraps. Look at the size of the bouquet boxes, are they made in proper sized florist boxes or extra large florist gift bags like ours at enchanted Rose Florist or are they made in small boxes or gift bags like we constantly see around. Look closely at the ribbons and bows they use are they made of the cheap stiff paper ribbons /bows or are they made of genuine real quality ribbon like ours. Then look at the small touch’s that we do for our customers-the added luxury organza to complement our bouquets, the hand written personalised gift cards, the luxury bows/ribbons we use.

Everything we do here at Enchanted Rose Florist is for our customers to give them the best professional Flower Service around Alfreton, Derby and the surrounding areas. We will go above and beyond for our customers, we will deliver on time in a professional manner. We wear our uniform with pride as we know when we arrive at the door of person receiving those flowers are made to feel special. We deliver in our own designed Enchanted Rose Florist van by us no other 3rd party because it’s all part of the personal service we want to provide.
Whereas many florists don’t provide this service so it can be anyone delivering your flowers. They would not have the knowledge and skills like of a trained florist on how to handle your precious flowers. Even our drivers are trained florists as we commit to doing the whole package from start to finish. This is why we are the family florist with constant glowing 5* reviews!

We are different to other florists as we don’t see it as just a job. We have the passion and drive to succeed that’s why we chose to be here in our very own business and we are proud of every bit of it. This shines through in our creations and our customers see this in everything we do. 

  • We are total perfectionists, we only send out flowers we are 100% happy with and pride ourselves on how much longer our flower arrangements last compared to other florists. (We love it when receiver calls in and tells us how delighted they were on how long they have lasted).
  • We constantly look for ways to better ourselves and if we feel we have come up against a weakness we address it and change that weakness into a strength. 

For instance ongoing learning going to college to gain the initial qualifications is essential in learning the foundations of floristry. However if you are really passionate about going that extra level of excellence it’s paramount that you take on additional skills. We are always striving to become better at what we do.

We do tons of research always, always updating our knowledge. Recently we launched our new line of Eco-Friendly floral arrangements. Although we were a bit embarrassed as our echo-friendly selection was none existent. A real weakness for us so we made it our New Year’s resolution to change this. We did a truck loads of research and then contacted a professional company asking them to teach us the correct way. We wanted to gain the correct knowledge and understanding of using alternative eco friendly methods. This was fantastic we learnt so much on eco friendly including about the mechanics of using eco-friendly products. How we can implement them in our floristry designs. 

What makes you stand out from large companies-supermarkets and online relay companies?

  • We stand out from larger companies because they can not give the attentiveness to customers like we can. You can not beat that personal touch. We are here with our customers not in an office miles away. Getting to personally know your customers and customers getting to know us. Our customers know if they need to contact us for anything they get to speak to us directly, not being left in a queue on the phone. Being passed from one department to the other. We listen to our customers, chat with them on a daily basis. Everything we make is bespoke, individually handmade by us especially for you; your requirements. Not on a production line where every bouquet looks the same then left on the shop shelf uncared for. 
  • We have fresh flower deliveries everyday, our flowers are carefully cared for throughout their journey by us qualified florists.
