A Little Bit of History

It is now several years since the shop first opened, named Bond & Bloom in honour of owner Suzanne Taylor’s great grandmother, Jane Bond, who ran a Grocer’s shop from the same location, 23 Clifton Street, in the late 1800s. Jane is listed alongside none other than E H Booth in a business census from 1895.

Since then it is one of THE shops to visit, not only for the fabulous window displays but for the inspirational/aspirational creations they provide to you as individuals but also local restaurants, hotels, events and bouquets for celebrities and dignitaries

ARTISAN FLORISTRY TEAM

Not only is Suzanne a very busy lady anyway, and with another (not related) business, she needs a great team in place,  They have been regularly nominated for British Florist Association industry awards, having recently been National finalists in not ONE but THREE categories!!  They were very pleased that year to be awarded  2nd for their website, 5th for Student of the Year and last but not least  6th nationally for Retail Florist Shop of the Year. Which puts Lytham firmly on the floristry map, and Bond & Bloom has been hailed as contributing to a vibrant, independent high street.

The team are completely willing and eager to take part in what ever is going on in town and their shop window is always seasonal and always stunning
