Testimonials
Pollen was established six years ago after watching a bride-to-be, standing bewildered in a busy florists shop, flicking through an album of wedding bouquet designs.
We realised then, how much more enjoyable it would be for customers to have a consultation in a relaxing environment at a time convenient to them. One of the reasons why we have added this section to the website is to give you a feel of how our past customers perceive the Pollen Wedding floristry service.
Unfortunately we can’t fit all the letters on as we have a big file! Needless to say we keep them all and when Donal is exhibiting at any wedding fairs he will always have them with him. Alternatively ask him to bring the file with him when he comes for a consultation if you would like to see some more!

"Hi Donal!
Sorry it has taken me so long to get around to contacting you, only just back to normal really....
I just must say the flowers were really amazing, and I still have the display from the bar and one of the arrangements from either side of the ballroom, (the other I gave to my son's girlfriend), they still look so beautiful.
On Sunday morning we gave all the table decs to various special guests to take home. I am hoping that Aliex's bouquet will last and keep, I read on the internet that all one needs to do is place the bunch in a vase in which the flowers fit tightly in with no water? Fingers crossed.
Hope you enjoy the pictures, I know Mike will e mail you on their return, and of course send you more pictures.
Many Many thanks for your delightful approach to Aliex and her wedding, you were so patient, extremely professional at all times, and just an incredible person to work with.
Very best wishes,
Caroline"

"Hi Donal,
Guy and I wanted to thank you hugely for the flower arrangements that you did for us for our wedding at Buxted Park on the 12th July. I can honestly say the flower arrangements were perfect and I couldn't have imagined the colours to have been more gorgeous, they complemented the lilac in the bridesmaid dresses so well. The bouquets were beautiful and I loved the arrangement of flowers coming down the stairs! The tables looked stunning, we can only apologise for not updating the number of tables!
I'm sure you took photos of the arrangements but I have attached some more photos here. Guy and I both agree that asking you to do our flower arrangement at Buxted was the best decision we made. Thank you so much!
Lynne and Guy"

Thank you so much for the beautiful flowers you did for our wedding at Buxted Park on Sunday 9th November 08. Everything surpassed my expectations! The Coat of Arms room where we had our ceremony was beautiful, the candles and petals made it feel very special. The Orangey looked fabulous, as I know it would when you described how it would look. So many people said how fantastic it was. What else can I/we say, but thank you once again, with all your hard work, making it all very memorable.

Just a quick note to thank-you all for the great service and beautiful flowers for our wedding at Newick Park (2006).
They really helped bring the whole thing together and it was a great relief to know that we didn't have to worry about anything on the day. All our guests complimented us on the wedding and table decorations and they definitely contributed to our memories of an excellent day.
Many thanks again"

"Dear Donal
we would like to say a very big thank you for the beautiful flowers you arranged form our wedding at the Thistle Hotel in July 2006. The bouquets were stunning, more beautiful than i had imagined. The attention to detail, well what can i say, perfection. Everything from the buttonholes to the table decorations, so beautiful and so talked about, every one of our guests had something to say.
The Calla lilies from the top table arrangement were still going strong two weeks later, a testament to the quality of the flowers you use.
I've already recommended you to a bride to be as i know she will not be disappointed and i will have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone else.
Again thank you so very much for helping to make our day that much more special with your wonderful talent.
Kind regards"
Sharon and David
"Dear Donal
A brief word of extreme thanks for the absolutely beautiful flowers you produced for my wedding at Stanmer House in September 2006.
All of the flowers were tremendous; from the buttonholes and bouquets through to the gorgeous table centre pieces and the Kilner jars for outside. The effect was exactly what I was looking for- casual yet elegant, simple, stylish and sophisticated.
The white anemones were amazing and their unusualness really worked, especially with the green centres. The arrangements were really admired by many and I'm pleased to report were taken home after and distributed amongst the bridesmaids where, they tell me, they lasted beautifully for a good week.
Speaking of which, the two mums flower bouquets are only now coming to an end. they were both chuffed with them so once again thank you.
I'm not planning to get married again in the near future (!) but will certainly recommend you to anyone else i know in the area who is planning a wedding.
Thank you
The effect was perfect."

"Dear Donal,
Just a note to say thank you for the wonderful flowers you arranged for my wedding. The bouquet was stunning, so much so that I kept it, instead of throwing it to the crowd! All the buttonholes and corsages were beautiful too.
All my correspondence with you was so stress-free, which is so wonderful when you’re arranging a wedding-thank you! It struck me how professional and approachable Pollen is and I will always recommend them to anyone I know.
Thank you again, best wishes, Katy"

We wanted to thank you for the most beautiful and amazing flower displays we’ve ever seen. They were more gorgeous than we could have imagined and really made the day extra special for us. From my perfect calla lily bouquet, to the buttonholes, the rose petals and the table decorations that made it look magical in both the Royal Pavilion and the Old Ship Hotel, it truly was wonderful.
You were also a complete star on the day and made everything run like clockwork. I suspect that it would be hard to find the ‘Donal and the Pollen Touch’ anywhere else! Thank you."

"Hi Donal
I am so exited to be writing this ‘thank you’ because it is making me think of the beautiful flowers you created for our wedding day. I loved it all! The table decorations, my bouquet, the chandeliers etc., All of it. I became quite obsessed with the flowers and could not stop touching and sniffing them. Without them the venue would have been bare and I could not have achieved the mood and the atmosphere I wanted for the day..
.Thank you so much. Best regards"
