I had decided to cut out the middleman when ordering Mother's Day flowers & went straight to Heavenly Scent. I called them & explained the colours i was looking for & the bouquet that my Mum received was stunning & when i visited some weeks later they were still on the go. The florist did a fantastic job & we definitely got more for our money by going direct. A big thank you.

First for Flowers
49 W Auckland Rd, Darlington DL3 9EL, UK – 01325 952345
Steven the manager is lovely and nothing is too much trouble. Flowers are amazing
After some research online and discovered other flower shops in the area were either closed on mothers day or charging £18 for delivery I was really pleased that first for flowers were open AND were charging they're normal rates. After speaking to the florist himself ( who went out of his way, nothing was too much ) my mum received a beautiful bouquet that was colourful and well worth the money..she still talks about it now. I will definitely use this florist again or my mum will kill me!! Would definitely recommend. Thank you so much.

Organising something special for my partner on Valentine's day was made so easy by such helpful people - thank you Vanessa- and the unique arrangement of flowers was amazing. This beautiful bouquet has lasted over 10 days already and still going strong. I would recommend their service and quality to anyone.
I was married on September 2, 2017. Nattrass provided our flowers and they we're AMAZING! The flowers were beautiful, they were delivered well in advance of the ceremony! Everyone raved about the flowers. I ended up gifting some of our guests with the table settings because they were looking at them so longingly. LOL! Thank you so much for helping to make our special day even more special

Tips - Caring for your flowers once they are delivered
Placing your flowers in vase half to two thirds full with lukewarm water, will help closed buds to start opening.
- Be careful when un-wrapping a hand-tied bouquet as it is delivered in a water bubble to keep the flowers fresh.
- Arranging your flowers in cold water should be avoided as this can reduce the their life in the vase.
- Avoid puting flowers in metal or aluminium containers - glass is ideal. Keep your flowers in a cool location, away from draughts, direct heat or sunlight. Arrange once unwrapped
- Your flowers may take up to 24 hours after being placed in water to reach their full potential.
- Strip off all excess foliage and leaves below the water level to reduce any harmful bacteria within the water.
- Bacteria can block the stem and stop the flowers taking up the water.unwrap. Flowers like their stems trimmed. So, trim them, at an angle with a knife (rather than scissors) by an inch or so. When trimming stems, always cut at an angle of roughly 45degrees; this increases the surface area allowing your flowers to absorb more water.
- If a Rose starts to droop at the head, re-cut the stem, wrap the head in paper to support it upright and plunge 5cms of the stem into boiling water for about 30seconds. Cut the stem again and place in deep cold water for two hours.trim
Most orders are accompanied by a sachet of cut flower food which will encourage buds to open and help to prolong the life and beauty of your flowers. Top up regularly with water and flower food, removing any fading flowers. Ensure the floristry foam used in arrangements is moist and topped up daily; this helps to prolong the life and vibrancy of your arrangements.
