Well, I'm thoroughly delighted to announce that we are now the very proud winners of the award for 'Best Emerging British Luxury Brand'!

The Walpole 'Awards for Excellence' took place last night at The Banqueting House in London's Whitehall.

The Waplole Awards for Excellence are held to honour individuals and Companies who exemplify luxury and comittment to British excellence by their work across luxury, design and culture, both internationally and within Britain.

The venue was stunning and looked absolutely breathtaking with candles lining every surface and staircase. Laurent Perrier champagne flowed and assorted fabulous cocktails and canapes, courtesy of the fabulous Admirable Crichton caterers, were served to the guests.

The actor Tom Conti was a perfect choice of host for the ceremony and I was thrilled to accept the beautiful engraved award winners plaque (made by Asprey no less!)on behalf of The Real Flower Company.

Mario Testino won the prestigious Walpole 'Medal of Excellence' and, as long time admirer of his amazing work, I was honoured to have been invited to be in the winners group photo with him and the other category award winners.
