Flower displays in church can be arranged by the church’s own flower arrangers and invariable cheaper than a florist. Please contact the Parish Office 01480 370312 office@stneots.org and we can arrange for our lead arranger to contact you on your specific needs. Alternatively you may wish to make your own arrangements with a florist.
