About Essentially Floral

A lifelong love of flowers
From a very young age, our Managing Director, Jilly Mattley has fostered a love of flowers. She fondly remembers collecting rose petals to make perfume and being intoxicated by the heady aroma from the armfuls of roses she gathered and bundled in paper to proudly present to her adoring grandmother.
Work and pleasure combined
This passion for flowers and their beauty is one which continues to permeate every aspect of Jilly’s life and to inspire her work. After setting up a small Christmas decorating service, Jilly was asked by a client in 2007 to include fresh flowers in her design – and the rest is history.

Purveyor of the finest flowers
Jilly is now well-established to her exclusive client base as the ‘go-to’ provider for Christmas decoration services and flowers for all occasions. Working in both the personal and corporate sectors in Kensington, Chelsea, rural Oxfordshire and beyond, her journey takes her full circle to a business which surrounds her with the enchanting fragrances that formed so many happy childhood memories.

We just wanted to say a massive thank you for being our florist on our wedding day! Everybody was commenting on how beautiful the bouquets and buttonholes were after the civil ceremony! Our mums also loved the flower gifts and commented on how stunning the arrangement was!
We cannot thank you enough, and will be recommending you to our family and friends!
Dear Jilly what a lovely decor. This year I am very pleased. Just a lovely touch of Halloween spirit. The girls love It too.
