(9) Cancellations / Postponement

We offer a bespoke service and are limited in how many bookings We take on a month.

We do not take any responsibility for any damage to the Cake from the fresh flowers, or the placement on the Cake of the fresh flowers once delivered.

You acknowledge that fresh flowers are not a food product, and may contain pesticides, insects, dirt, or other contaminants.

Some flowers are highly toxic and if you are unsure, you should obtain professional advice.
