Welcome to Budding Floral Designs, a full service flower shop, creating floral gorgeousness for all occasions from the cradle to the grave based in a cosy corner of the village of Anstey, Leicester. With over 60 years of combined experience, we are passionate and knowledgeable about our trade and feel honoured to serve the community of Anstey and the surrounding villages for all of their floral requirements.
Our owner, Claire, has been creating beautiful flower arrangements for as long as she can remember, recalling coming home from primary school and sitting on the counter helping make bows for bouquets. With a surname like Budding (yep — no kidding), it’s in the blood. Her work has been featured in many local publications including Leicestershire Weddings Magazine, Your East Midlands Wedding Magazine and The Beacon Magazine. We have also had our floral designs featured across multiple wedding blogs, are recommended suppliers for several local venues and have worked hard to build a loyal client base over the years.
Budding Floral Designs was born from Claire’s love of floristry, encouraged by her parents who previously owned Brookside Nurseries, a Garden Centre and Florist in Anstey. In August 2016, after nearly 40 years of dedication, they closed the doors for retirement. Keen to keep the established flower side of Brookside local within the village, it was the ideal opportunity for Claire to merge their floristry expertise with her own. In April 2016, Budding Floral Designs moved from a draughty workshop into a bright and airy shop in The Nook, the heart of Anstey.
We have now grown into a busy, close-knit team with extra helping hands during our busiest times. Occasionally Claire’s bearded collie, Luna, joins us as shop dog, snoozing in the back room. We are a friendly bunch who love creating and feel lucky to do something we truly enjoy. If you’re passing, why not pop in and say hello?
