Your Berks, Bucks and Oxon Wedding - February/March 2023 (Issue 99)

Local independent florist, Sonning Flowers, has scooped up the muchsought-after Regional Wedding Florist of the Year award at this year’s prestigious Wedding Industry Awards 2023. Competition was stiff and the regional award covers wedding florists across the whole of the South Central region, with only 8 regional winners across the whole UK. This news comes after the Berkshire-based florist was crowned the National Winner and Regional Winner at last year’s Wedding Industry Awards for 2022. Heather Reilly, owner of Sonning Flowers, said: “We are absolutely delighted and just can’t believe it! It’s the icing on the cake after winning the National Award last year, to come back for the second year running and win Regional Wedding Florist of the Year again is just an incredible feeling, and not something we could have ever dreamed of. “A huge thank you to all our wonderful wedding couples of 2022 who voted for us and provided generous and incredible feedback about their wedding flowers and service we provided to them to the expert panel of judges, we couldn’t have done this without you and your trust in us!” Heather concluded: “I personally also need to say a huge thank you to the Sonning Flowers team. We’ve had back-to-back weddings since Covid-19 restrictions were lifted and my small team of seven have worked incredibly hard during two wedding seasons like no other. Winning such a renowned award for the second year running is the true recognition the team deserves and we can’t wait for the 2023 season to get started!” SONN I NG FLOWERS Cottismore Park, Newbury Road, Kingsclere, Berkshire RG20 4SY WWW.SONN I NGFLOWERS.COM/WEDD I NGS Sonning Flowers has been trading since 2004, first based in Sonning and now with a specialist flower workshop in the beautiful West Berkshire countryside.
