About Verbadarie Flowers

Our story, our team, and our commitment to bringing floral beauty to your life.

Our Story

Verbadarie Flowers was founded in 2010 by Emma Willoughby, a passionate florist with over 15 years of experience in the industry. What began as a small shop in East London has blossomed into one of the UK's most respected floral design studios.

The name "Verbadarie" combines elements of the Latin words for "truth" and "to give" – reflecting our commitment to authentic beauty and the joy of giving. We believe that flowers speak a universal language of emotion and connection.

Over the years, we've had the privilege of creating floral arrangements for thousands of weddings, corporate events, and special occasions. Each arrangement is crafted with care, creativity, and attention to detail.

Our Approach to Floristry

Seasonal & Sustainable

We believe in working with nature's rhythms, primarily using seasonal blooms at their peak of beauty. This approach not only creates more beautiful arrangements but also reduces our environmental footprint.

Artisanal Craftsmanship

Each arrangement is handcrafted by our skilled florists who bring years of experience and artistic sensibility to their work. We view floristry as a true art form and approach each design with creativity and care.

Sourcing & Quality

We source our flowers from trusted growers, many of whom we've worked with for years. We prioritize UK-grown blooms when possible and inspect every stem to ensure we use only the highest quality flowers.

Our Commitment to Sustainability

Eco-Friendly Packaging

We use biodegradable and recyclable materials for all our packaging, from bouquet wraps to gift boxes.

Local Sourcing

Whenever possible, we source flowers from UK growers to reduce our carbon footprint and support local businesses.

Foam-Free Designs

We've eliminated the use of floral foam in our designs, replacing it with sustainable alternatives.

Waste Reduction

We compost all our green waste and participate in a flower recycling program that donates arrangements to local care homes.
