WTF - What The Flowers florists 'blown away' by Blackpool support as it reaches two years on Mowbray Drive
“We are a bit rebellious in the flower world.”
They knew exactly what they wanted to do when they set up their unique florist.
The idea was there, it was definitely going to be something different - the vibe was all about colour and nothing like what was already out there - but they needed a name.
With 50 years floristry experience behind them Gemma Buntain and Natalie MacDonald just needed to land on something punchy and when they finally settled on WTF - What The Flowers, they couldn’t wait to get moving.
That was two years ago, two years of hard graft but what an incredible success it has been.
Talking to us on their second anniversary Gemma and Natalie explained: “It’s our second birthday, we can’t believe it, it’s gone so quickly. The amount of support and how What The Flowers has gone, it’s blown our minds really, it’s amazing.
“There are so many things that make us different from other florists, we like bright, we like colour, spraying things - we are a bit rebellious in the flower world.
“We wanted to bring something different to Blackpool, we were sick of seeing the same flowers everywhere.
“We have many years experience between us and we wanted to do something different, we always knew what we wanted to do in terms of style but we didn’t have a name but when that clicked into place it was exactly what we wanted.

“The name - those three letters - the feeling that our flowers was going to give when you receive them - that was it and we ran with it and its been amazing ever since.”
Two autumn workshops are coming up and a Christmas workshop.
“We have our door swag so something a bit different than a normal wreath.
“We are still doing traditional wreaths but with a twist, our little spin on the decorations so every one will come out a bit different and people can choose their own quirky designs.
“It’s all fun and games through our style and in our name and our personalities and we host them oursleves. We love socialising, making people smile and laugh and have a good evening -and being creative!
