PICCADILLY FLOWERS: Part Two

We met birthday boy Joe and his two fresher mates Matt & Joe in The Devonshire and set them a little challenge…

Whoever handed out the rest of our flowers to the tables opposite got a round of Guinnesses 🍺

Joe stepped up, despite the fact he was actually heading home to see his parents and couldn’t even stay for his pint 😂

So he did the graft, his mates got the Guinness, and a load of lovely strangers got flowers. Thank you lads and Joe what a legend…..great fellas ❤️❤️❤️

14 years in and we’re on Piccadilly Lights. Seeing Grace & Thorn in the heart of London was unreal.

Huge thanks to @xero for making this moment happen. Still processing it honestly.

This is everything 💐

PICCADILLY CIRCUS FLOWERS PART ONE: make sure you watch it until the end it gets funnier haaaa.

To celebrate 14 years in business and slightly surreal moment of featuring on the largest advertising screen in Europe at Piccadilly Circus, we decided to take to the streets of London and spread a bit of flower love. 💐

On Friday afternoon, me and my brilliant friends Liz and Craig wandered around Piccadilly Circus and the West End, handing out flowers, meeting so many amazing people and basically laughing non-stop.

It was one of those warm, happy little moments that I know I’ll cherish forever.

Fourteen years of Grace & Thorn wouldn’t have happened without every single person who has supported us along the way, our customers, staff, friends, family, suppliers and everyone who has championed this slightly bonkers little flower business over the years.

Thank you, constantly.

We love you all. ❤️🌸

We are 14 years old!! What a wild ride it’s been. When the shit hits the fan we laugh and laugh, it’s the best medicine! So lucky to have worked with so many special people over the years it’s made everything so much easier, sometimes harder haaa but it’s so important to love what you do (if you’re lucky enough) and have fun with it too or else what’s the point 🙏.

Time really does fly when you’re doing what you love.

The past 6 months have been filled with incredible people, meaningful conversations, unforgettable stories, and tattoos I’m proud to create. I’m beyond grateful for every client, friend, and supporter who has crossed my path. I’ve got nothing but love for the people in my life right now, and I’m excited to keep growing, creating, and seeing where the next 6 months take me. ❤️
