About Us

Based in Yorkshire, Best & Bloom offers lifelike floral arrangements, and curated homeware for interiors with character.

Our Story

Best & Bloom was founded on the idea that flowers and objects in the home should bring lasting beauty and meaning.

What began as a creative outlet has grown into a curated collection of florals, artwork, and home pieces designed to elevate everyday spaces. Our floral arrangements are made to last - whether as standalone bouquets, thoughtfully pre-arranged in contemporary vases, or presented in a special collection of vintage vessels chosen for their character and charm.

Alongside our florals, you’ll find a range of accessories for the home, including framed hand-painted art, vases, trays, and boxes. Each piece is selected or created with care, bringing together elements that feel personal, enduring, and full of style.

  • Originality

    Every artwork is hand-painted, and each arrangement is composed by hand - making each creation feel special and personal. Whether styled into a storied vintage find or a modern classic, every Best & Bloom piece reflects a curated touch that cannot be found on the high-street.

  • Story

    We see beauty in what came before. Our
    Heritage pieces celebrate the character and charm of vintage objects,
    reimagined with fresh creativity.

    Our new items honour the design language of the past, with thoughtful textures and enduring form.

  • Sustainability

    We believe in the quiet power of reuse. By sourcing vintage vases for our Heritage Collection, and designing with high-quality faux florals made to be enjoyed season after season, we reduce waste while creating timeless, considered pieces that are built to last and made to be loved.

FAQs

Are all your pieces one-of-a-kind?

All of our artwork is hand-painted in our Yorkshire studio, and every piece in the Heritage Collection is entirely one-of-a-kind, styled in vintage vases. These are clearly marked on the respective product pages.

Our bouquets, contemporary arrangements and home accessories are made in small batches, but each is carefully considered to be elegant, timeless, and full of character.

Where is your art made?

All of our artwork is hand-painted and framed in our Yorkshire studio using a variety of mediums.

What is the Heritage Collection, and why is it priced at a premium?

The Heritage Collection is our most curated and characterful offering. Every piece — whether a floral arrangement or a hand-painted artwork — is entirely one-of-a-kind and created using individually sourced vintage or antique vessels and frames.

Each element is chosen for its shape, patina, and story, and no two designs are ever repeated. Because of the time-intensive nature of sourcing, styling, and designing these pieces, as well as the care taken in photographing, editing, and uploading each product individually, the pricing reflects the craftsmanship and uniqueness of the collection.

These are heirloom-quality pieces, designed to bring lasting character, creativity, and beauty to the home.

What are your frames made of?

The moulding is made from polcore. Our standard frames are fitted with high clarity perspex, which has the same visual clarity as glass and many customers even opt for this instead of glass with smaller art sizes. Our frame supplier is unable to offer glass in frames any larger than 20x16 inches due to the increased risk of damage in transit.

Do you use real or artificial flowers?

We use high-quality faux florals chosen for their realism, beauty, and longevity. Styled by hand, they offer lasting elegance without the upkeep; a sustainable and more easily-maintainable alternative to fresh blooms.

How should I arrange my bouquet?

Faux flowers, like real ones, can be cut to size to fit your desired vase, but wire clippers will be needed.

We love to put the bushier blooms closer to the neck of the vase and have the stems cut shorter (such as hydrangeas) and the longer stems and foliage peeking out at the top.

Stems can often be bent multiple times and snapped. Wire cutters are very good for cutting the stems, and bolt cutters are even better. Some stems are very thick and require a bit of extra work.

We also love using floral foam to hold the designs in place. If you need any help, please feel free to reach out to us for tips.

Alongside our bouquets, we offer a range of pre-styled arrangements, so this takes away some of the work for you.

How long will it take to receive my order?

Most orders are packed and dispatched within 2 working days.

Shipping times depend on the courier. Please see our Shipping Policy for more details.

For bespoke pieces or commissions, we’ll confirm a timeframe once your order is confirmed. If you need something sooner, feel free to get in touch.

About the founder

The roots of Best & Bloom trace back to childhood weekends spent with three generations of women exploring antique fairs and second-hand sales in search of something beautiful, forgotten, or unusual. With artists in the family, and a love of both creating and appreciating art, creativity was part of everyday life, shaped by a respect for the past and a belief in the value of things made with care.

During the 2020 pandemic, with supermarkets being one of the few places open, I found calm in choosing flowers and arranging them at home. That led me to join a local florist’s online workshop where I learned more about arranging flowers with intention. Over time, I started to feel the limitations of fresh flowers; the cost, the mess, and the waste. That, combined with my love of vintage design sparked the idea for Best & Bloom: a way to bring together artistry, lasting objects, and the quiet charm of considered design.
