AN ILKLEY florist has been recognised as one of the best in the UK after being included in a national guide.
Erica Berry Flowers has been accepted into the Good Florist Guide, described as "the gold standard of floristry" for the UK and the Republic of Ireland.
To be part of GFG, each florist undergoes a rigorous evaluation process and is vetted by a panel of industry experts before being approved.
Owner Erica Berry said: "We are delighted to be accepted into the Good Florist Guide. We are passionate about flowers, design, quality and the service we give to each of our customers, so it is wonderful to have this recognised and give our customers and the community further confidence in what we offer.
"What’s special about our business is that all our staff are qualified, experienced and skilled, having a professional eye for both the design and composition of each piece, from the smallest bouquet to large scale weddings and events. This gives us a great deal of creative job satisfaction as well as benefitting our customers."
Caroline Marshall-Foster, Editor of The Florist magazine, and Executive Director of Good Florist Guide said, “You can buy flowers virtually anywhere these days. But nothing really beats the experience of receiving fabulous flowers from a truly bespoke florist and without it costing an arm or a leg. The Good Florist Guide is my way of sharing all that is good about floristry."
