Lets Talk Summer Beauties!01 May 2025Summer Blooms and Blousey Personalities at Fleurtations! Summer has officially arrived in Bodmin, Cornwall, bringing with it a riot of colour and fragrance that we absolutely adore here at Fleurtations! Just like the vibrant and blousey blooms we're working with, our amazing team is bursting with personality and passion. And today, we're shining a spotlight on a true cornerstone of Fleurtations – the wonderful Hayley Moore! Thirty-two years! Let that sink in for a moment. Hayley has been weaving floral magic for over three decades (we reckon she must have started as a tiny, flower-loving whirlwind toddler!). Her experience and artistry are truly invaluable, and her dedication to creating beautiful arrangements is something we admire every single day. So, who is the lovely Hayley behind the stunning creations? We've gathered a few fun facts to give you a peek into her floral world: Her favourite shade: Hayley's ultimate colour is a cheerful Orange. No surprise there, reflecting the warmth and vibrancy she brings to her work! A classic at heart: When it comes to individual blooms, the elegant Tulip holds a special place in her heart. Summer love in a petal: But for the quintessential summer flower, Hayley can't resist the magnificent Peony! We wholeheartedly agree – those blousey, fragrant beauties are a summer dream. A refreshing favourite: To quench her thirst after a busy day surrounded by blooms, Hayley loves a crisp Cider. Hayley's golden rule: Her top tip for keeping your flowers looking their best? It's simple but crucial: "Keep the water fresh & change the water every 2 days." Wise words from a floral expert! She also would like to mention that talking to your flowers will give them a boost! Its good for the flowers and good you’re the soul… what a sweetheart! Greenery guru: In the garden, Hayley has a soft spot for the lush textures of ferns and foliage’s, understanding the vital role they play in complementing floral displays. A Smurfy challenge: Her favourite and most challenging item to create was a memorable Papa Smurf tribute! Keep your eye out on socials, we "MAY" post it soon! Beyond the everyday bouquets and celebratory arrangements, Hayley has a deep connection to funeral work. She believes passionately that someone's last flowers should be a truly beautiful and sentimental tribute. Her dedication to presenting the "most wonderful flowers" during such a sensitive time is truly heartfelt. Hayley particularly loves creating funeral items that are full of texture, adding depth and visual interest to these important farewells. Hayley's years of experience, her eye for detail, and her genuine love for flowers shine through in everything she does here at Fleurtations. She's a vital part of our brilliant team, and we're so lucky to have her! Here at Fleurtations in Bodmin, our passion for flowers is always in full bloom, and that extends beyond our beautiful shop! The whole team loves to immerse themselves in the wider floral world by attending trade events. We see it as a vital way to stay ahead of the curve, discovering the latest floral trends and exciting new varieties. For us, these events are more than just industry gatherings; they're an opportunity to nurture our passion and expand our knowledge. As our owner, the wonderful Caroline Crabb, always says, "You never stop learning," and she actively encourages every member of our team to soak up as much floral diversity as possible. Plus, it's always a joy to connect with our fellow floral friends from across the industry! Just yesterday, we had a fantastic evening at the Flower Vision Bristol open day. It was a brilliant opportunity to see what's new and, of course, get creative with some stunning blooms! These experiences fuel our inspiration and ensure that the bouquets and arrangements we create for you are always fresh, innovative, and full of the Fleurtations touch you know and love.
