A WARRINGTON florist has been accepted into a prestigious guide featuring only the best in the country.

La Beau Fleurs on Manchester Road has flourished in recent times, first being named one of the best florists in the country and now being featured in the exclusive Good Florist Guide.

Good Florist Guide is a unique guide and is the only kitemark of quality in the world that not only checks and accredits all their members before they are allowed to display the coveted logo but re-checks the members each and every year to make sure they are maintaining standards.

Which could be why this truly merit-based guide to the finest florists in the world is considered the gold standard of floristry, acknowledged as the ‘little black book’ of the very best British and Irish florists and likened to receiving a Michelin star award. 

La Beau Fleurs has achieved accredited recognition from the organisation for the third year in a row.

Co-owner of the florist, Rachel Peers, said they were ‘thrilled’ and ‘overwhelmed’ to be accredited again for another year.

“We are delighted to be accepted into the Good Florist Guide for the third year running.

“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.”

In order to achieve the recognition, it meant La Beau Fleurs had to undergo a rigorous evaluation process before being approved.

Rachel added: “What’s special about our business is that we provide exceptional service using the finest materials.

“We are passionate about providing a compassionate and bespoke service to families who sadly find themselves planning a loved one’s funeral and working closely with our sister company ‘Weddings by La Beau Fleurs’ ‘we’re also proud to design outstanding wedding flowers across Cheshire and beyond.

“All of this whilst delivering out first class gift bouquets across the whole of Warrington for any occasion.”

Caroline Marshall-Foster, editor of the florist industry bible The Florist Magazine, and chief Executive of Good Florist Guide set it up as a way of ensuring customers always receive top quality floristry from businesses that value excellent customer service.

Caroline 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. It allows consumers to know that the florist they choose is able and willing to go the extra mile and make all their purchases, big or small, truly special.”
