A Year of Blooming Success: Flowers Creations Celebrates 1st Birthday in Sittingbourne

On April 26th, Flowers Creations marks a beautiful milestone, one year since opening its doors in Sittingbourne. For owner Kalina, this first year has been a journey of passion, perseverance, and petals, and she's inviting the community to celebrate with her and is offering a 15% discount all week long starting on the 22nd April.

Fresh Start for an award winning florist in Sittingbourne

After successfully serving the Sheerness community, Kalina expanded her floral artistry to Sittingbourne, bringing with her not only a talent for design but also a heart for her customers. While still serving Sheerness, her new location allows her to offer flowers to the surrounding Kent area with ease. Moving into a new town and setting up a new space wasn’t without its challenges, but Kalina has met each one with grace and determination.

Now, one year later, her Sittingbourne florist shop is a growing business…but she can also do with more support! As we know running a small business is tough & Kalina is thankful for every order. She is so thankful for the support of loyal customers and the warm welcome from the local community. But it hasn’t been without the usual growing pains that come with a new business & growing local custom. When Kalina opened, the biggest challenge was keeping a constant supply of good quality flowers in stock despite only having a handful of customers each day. As word grew about the quality and long lasting flowers that Kalina stocked, the orders and instore sales slowly increased. 

Kalina has also listened, tested & adapted to what her customers have said they have wanted. Originally, Kalina would make a small quantity of flower bunches available but it became obvious that the supermarkets dominated the space for basic one flower bunches. Kalina quickly realised that her point of difference is show stopping floral bouquets and specialty flowers. Something that Sittingbourne has needed, a modern florist.

The shop has become a familiar, fragrant haven on the high street, where people pop in for everything from birthday bouquets to “just because” bunches.

Valentine’s Day: A Blooming Success

One of the most telling moments of the shop’s success came this past Valentine’s Day. Orders flooded in, to the point that Kalina had to pause accepting new requests. That overwhelming demand wasn’t just about red roses, it was a sign that Flowers Creations has truly found its place in people’s lives.

Behind each bouquet is Kalina’s artistic eye and personal touch. Every order is treated with care, and customers have come to appreciate not just the quality of the flowers but the thoughtfulness that goes into their arrangement.

Saying “I Do” to Wedding Flowers

This year also saw Kalina play a part in one of life’s most magical moments …weddings. From rustic countryside ceremonies to elegant indoor affairs, Flowers Creations has helped couples bring their floral dreams to life.

Kalina works closely with each bride and groom to design bespoke floral packages that suit their style, colour palette, and venue. From breathtaking bridal bouquets and romantic buttonholes to aisle arrangements, floral arches, and reception centrepieces, every detail is crafted with precision and love.

Clients have praised her calm, friendly manner and her ability to turn vague ideas into show-stopping floral realities. Whether it's a grand celebration or an intimate gathering, Kalina makes sure the wedding flowers are as unforgettable as the day itself.


 

Flowers for All of Life’s Moments

But the year hasn’t only been about celebrations and romance. Kalina has also had the privilege of supporting families during difficult times, crafting heartfelt funeral flowers & tributes that offer comfort, remembrance, and love. It’s a role she takes to heart…. listening, guiding, and helping families express what words often cannot.

Each arrangement tells a story, whether it’s a favourite colour, a meaningful flower, or a design that reflects someone’s spirit. Kalina’s empathy and attention to detail have made her a trusted companion during life’s most tender moments. 

After the move from Sheerness Kalina had to rebuild some of her funeral work contacts. In 1 year Kalina has rebuilt her funeral flower work on purely word of mouth, it is hard to miss her incredible designs and the quality of her flowers, they are unrivalled locally. She invests in only the best flowers unlike at-home florists, there is only one chance to get funeral flowers right & Kalina pulls out all the stops for every display. Her online feedback from customers is testament of the incredible work and service Kalina provides to families during difficult times.

Blossoming Online: A Website Launch

As part of this year of growth, Kalina also launched a brand-new website, expanding her reach and making it even easier for customers to browse arrangements and place flower orders online. The site reflects the same care and charm you’ll find in the shop itself.

Customers have responded with glowing feedback, praising the easy navigation, beautiful gallery, and seamless ordering experience.

Looking Ahead with Gratitude

As Flowers Creations steps into its second year in Sittingbourne, Kalina isn’t just celebrating survival, she’s celebrating connection, creativity, and community. From weddings to farewells, birthdays to "thinking of you" flowers, she's been honoured to play a small but meaningful part in so many lives.

This birthday celebration isn’t just a milestone, it’s a thank you. A thank you to every customer who stopped by the shop, ordered online, left a kind review, or recommended Flowers Creations to a friend. This success belongs to the whole community.
“I want to say the biggest thank you to all of my wonderful customers. Your support, kind words, and trust in my work have meant the world to me over this past year. You’ve helped Flowers Creations grow into more than just a flower shop, it’s become a place of community, beauty, and connection.

I’m also incredibly grateful to my amazing staff, who have worked so hard and brought so much heart to what we do. And to my family, especially my husband and son. Thank you for being by my side through every step, late night, and busy holiday. I truly couldn’t have done this without you. Here’s to many more years of blooms and memories.”
— Kalina, Owner of Flowers Creations
