A PEMBROKE florist has been named one of the best wedding florists in the whole of the UK.

Quita Jenkins, of Flowers by Quita Jenkins, has been listed as one of the top 50 wedding florists in the UK by hen party specialists GoHen.

In listing Quita in the top 50, GoHen stated: “Not all florists are designers but seeing the work of a skilled floral artist like Quita reminds you just what how wonderful nature can be.

“Capturing the essence of the flowers she works with, Quita uses simple forms and fabulous colours to create amazing masterpieces all drawing on the inspiration and ideas supplied by her brides.”

 

Quita said: “I received an email congratulating me that I had been selected for top 50 UK wedding florist 2019; it wasn’t something that I had entered, the first I knew about it was by the email.

“It’s so nice to get recognition in such a small town! I’m delighted.”

Quita, of Lords Meadow View, is no stranger to success in the floral world, last year winning the south west florist of the year title at the Welsh Wedding Awards 2018.

One of Quita’s toughest challenges was a special request, to create a floral tribute for a relative of rugby star Samson Lee.

“This became one of the biggest challenges of my career, I felt privi-leged to be trusted with such a request as I work alone; some of the tributes included a large pool table, a box of Maltesers and a family pet.”

Quita is hoping for a ‘double’ in 2019 as she has again been nominated for the Welsh wedding awards.
