Our Work on BBC Eastenders

Wow its always exciting to see our handmade wedding flowers featured in the bridal and lifestyle magazines but its even more exiting to see your products used on a big TV program like Eastenders, which is what happened to us on last nights Eastenders.
The production team approached us back in June about having a wedding car arrangement some buttonholes and corsages made for them to use in an upcoming show.

Although the episode was not going to be aired until the 7th September they needed the flowers within the next few days for shooting so we got to work and had their flowers in the post the very next day.

Both the buttonholes and corsage were featured during the whole show but the car arrangement we supplied only got a fleeting view of the limelight with about 1 second of screen time, the car ribbon and the throwing confetti used were both also suppled by us.

The episode aired on BBC1 on Tuesday, September 7th and featured around the wedding of Janine Butcher, (played by Charlie Brooks) to Ryan (played by Neil McDermott).

Both Ryan Malloy (played by Neil McDermott) and Ricky Butcher (played by Sid Owen) wore our ivory rose and fiscus buttonhole with ivory satin ribbon bow.

Pat Evans (played by Pam St Clement) wore our Ivory rose and Pearl corsage.

360° Rotating Pictures

This is an idea we have had for a while now but the technical problems to get it to work took a while for us to overcome.
Because we are an internet based company and don`t as yet have a shop or showroom to view our wedding flowers, we want to give our customers the best opportunity to view the flowers and accessories that we can, and taking this one step further thought it would be a wonderful idea if people viewing the website could look at an image then using the mouse rotate the picture to look all the way around it.
It takes around 30 minutes to get from taking the first picture to viewing the finished 360° rotation picture on the website and uses a program called Adobe flash to run which most PC’s will have anyway.
As it is a time consuming project and everything is done in house at Sarah’s flowers i will try my best to get as many products done as i can but it will be an ongoing project for us as we now have over 3000 products on the website.
We hope you enjoy the new way to view our wedding flowers here at Sarah’s Flowers Ltd
Below are a couple of examples to get you started just click on the link and then select “Watch the 360°” link in the product listing.

Sarah Wilkinson Testimonial

Hi Jason and Sarah (sarah’s flowers)

Just wanted to say thank you again for the beautiful flowers you made for me.
We got married on 12 May 2009 at St Paul’s Chapel, Lindos, Rhodes.
The flowers were perfect and travelled really well.
No-one could believe that they were not real.
The petals on the gerbaras moved in the breeze, which made them look authentic.
I found your advert in Y&YW magazine and it was one of my best wedding finds. I truly love my flowers and whats more I get to keep them forever!
I use the Y&YW forums and have mentioned your fantastic work on there quite a few times now.
I have had lots of people ask me where I got my flowers from and I have sent them all to your website.
As promised a few of photos for you.

Many thanks
Sarah Wilkinson
