"Where to start! Livvy is absolutely incredible and a bundle of joy we booked Livvy to host an at home Christmas wreath making workshops for 7 of us leading up to the festive period. It was such a magical evening and Livvy was great with her communication before hand and so friendly on the day. Everything was so well organised and so much fun the amount of flowers and ribbon Livvy provided was on another level, we had so much choice, all our wreaths could be fully tailored to our own personal styles. It was such a fun evening and I can’t wait again for next years already"
