The Happy Blossoms is a family-owned, female-founded small business dedicated to spreading joy, one bloom at a time. We specialise in curating and delivering beautiful, hand-picked flowers that brighten any occasion and bring smiles to those who receive them. Our shop in Wimborne is the heart of it all—a colourful, welcoming space where you can find the perfect bouquet, join our hands-on workshops, and immerse yourself in the joy of flowers.
Rooted in eco-conscious practices, we are committed to sustainability, using eco-friendly packaging and locally sourced flowers whenever possible. At The Happy Blossoms, we believe flowers have the power to create lasting memories, spark joy, and bring us closer to nature. Whether it’s for a special celebration, a workshop, or just to brighten someone’s day, our mission is simple: to spread happiness, love, and the beauty of nature with every petal.
In the beginning…
We are a mother & daughter team who always had a dream of opening our own floristry business. With Lauren working as a primary teacher and Barbara in corporate finance, this dream felt a world away. We have always been best friends + opening a business together had always been something we spoke about. Fast forward, a couple of years and lots of training and it was time to make the dream a reality!
2018
The Happy Blossoms shop in Poundbury opened in July 2018 and the dream to open a flower business together finally became a reality. The shop was a little floral haven and it wasn't long before my Dad Ray joined the family business in November 2018. We spent the next year sending out beautiful bouquets locally and nationwide and creating everything floral. Whenever HRH King Charles II visited, we created floral arrangements for visits, which was such a wonderful experience. We were featured in an ITV documentary called ‘Inside The Duchy’!
2019
2019 saw our first full year in our beautiful shop with our first Valentines & Mothers Day! We then had a gorgeous summer of wonderful weddings! The end of 2019 brought the very first Baked Blossom bunch! Our Baked Blossoms are our dried flower range, these super popular bunches quickly became bestsellers and became part of our core range!
2020
Early 2020 we launched the very first Sherbert Macaroon Baked Blossom Bunch which resulted in being featured in the likes of Living etc and well as The Independent.
When the pandemic hit, things were turned upside down for everyone, and our beautiful shop in Poundbury had to close when the UK went into lockdown. We had to press pause on our Fresh Flowers but our Baked Blossom grew astronomically sharing love and happy-ness all over the UK!
2020, brought new Baked Blossom collections, new products, expanding our team which included Chloe, my sister, joining the business (a very exciting moment), and a brand new HQ in the Dorset countryside! 2020 was certainly a rollercoaster.
2021
2021 was another hugely exciting year for The Happy Blossoms! We began the year by launching Fresh Flowers which we hadn't stocked since before the pandemic! We launched our nationwide Fresh Blossoms and then later in the year launched our dried wedding flowers; Blossom With Me. With the online side of our business expanding we took the tough decision to close our Poundbury shop. We finished off 2021 with a nominee for Small Business of the year from Holly Tucker’s Independent Awards, launching our biggest ever Christmas collection and hosting some very exciting workshops.
2022
2022 was a super busy year full of lots of beautiful collections of baked blossoms and a very exciting feature on This Morning! We launched our brand new website and started creating our floristry tutorials.
2023
With both Lauren and Chloe getting married this year, it was a very busy year! With lots of florals both fresh and dried, we created new products, designed new bunches such as our BIG blossoms and created our bud to baked blossoms!
2024
A wonderful year where we ran lots of workshops and opened our brand new store on East Street, Wimborne.
Thank you so much for coming on this journey with us so far, we couldn’t have done it without you. We really appreciate it so much.
Loads of Love,
Lauren, Chloe, Barbara and Ray xx
