Florists near Dover

“I love Sweet Meadows Floral and Gift Shop. They always deliver beautiful floral arrangements (and chocolates) to my mom -
And often on short notice. I use them for all floral orders and deliveries in the Seacoast. Thank you so much from Dublin, Ireland!“

“I recently worked with Kate for a dinner event at MILA by The White Apron. She was so easy to communicate with and did such beautiful work on the floral arrangements! I really cannot recommend her work more!“

“Rolling in along the moan strat of Portsmouth’s South End, the ride is gentle, avoiding the bustle of Market Square. Wild Valentine appears as a bloom itself. A few umbrella’d tables out front invite a pause, though the name gives no hint of what lies within.

Alas, no true welcome for the vélo. One must lean a quality machine against the side wall, hidden from view — a compromise unworthy of a rider’s trust. Bathrooms, however, are spacious and clean, and service is swift enough. No apparent self-service water, one must ask.

Inside: bright, Scandinavian restraint, perfumed with flowers. Minimalist, curious, undeniably pretty. Morning calm hums gently, but no other cyclists linger — they pass by, leaving the space to locals and flower-buyers.

Here lies the café’s strength: La Mulita roasts from nearby Rye, poured with respect. Café served in a ceramic, not paper. Iced coffee with coffee ice cubes — a thoughtful panache that reveals a true devotion to flavour. Among the best in the area.

Sparse carb offerings. Two pastries on the day, neither tempting for the miles ahead. This is no pâtisserie of destiny, but a side note, almost ornamental.

Wild Valentine is a jewel of the neighborhood, a place to stroll and sip, to admire fleurs with one’s lover. For the cyclist, however, it is more detour than destination. A café of elegance, yes, but not of the road.

“This is my go to place for beautiful flowers! The service is great and the flowers last.“

“I can not speak highly enough about Kaitlyn and her team at In Bloom! I hired In Bloom for my wedding in August and the flowers were everything I imagined and MORE! Kaitlyn was so lovely to work with, and immediately after our first phone chat about a year before the wedding put me at ease. She knew my venue well, and was able to recommended what worked best for the setting which was so helpful! About two months before the wedding, I chatted with Kaitlyn to change up the vision a bit and she was completely flexible and was able to talk me through the changes. She is truly a magician with putting my loose ideas into a stunning outcome - the florals on our special day could not have been more stunning. I can not recommend In Bloom enough!“
