As part of our Love Where You Live series, we’re introducing the people behind the independent businesses that help make our local communities what they are. This time, we’re visiting Boutique Flowers on Carlton Hill, where Sally and Tina have been helping people celebrate life’s biggest moments with beautiful, handcrafted flowers.
With around 46 years of floristry experience each in the Gedling area, Sally and Tina opened Boutique Flowers seven years ago in the community they’ve always called home. Having built relationships with local families over many years, opening their own shop on Carlton Hill felt like the natural next step.

Flowers for Every Occasion
No two days at Boutique Flowers are ever the same. One day, Sally and Tina may be creating bouquets and gifts, while the next they’re designing floral tributes for funerals or preparing arrangements for weddings and special events.
Throughout the year, they’re especially busy during occasions such as Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day and Christmas, alongside wedding season, where they create everything from bridal bouquets to table arrangements. Every design is created with care, helping customers mark life’s most meaningful moments.
The shop has also become well known for its Christmas displays, with customers travelling from across Nottingham to visit Boutique Flowers during the festive season.
“We’ve always been part of the community, and the support we’ve received over the years means everything to us”
For Sally and Tina, Carlton has always been more than just the location of their business. It’s where they’ve lived, worked and built lasting relationships over decades.
They describe Carlton as a genuine community, where neighbours know one another and independent businesses support each other. Along Carlton Hill, local shopkeepers regularly work together and champion one another, creating a welcoming high street that both owners are proud to be part of.
That same sense of community is reflected in their customers. Many families have trusted Boutique Flowers for years, returning for flowers to celebrate births, birthdays, anniversaries and weddings, while also relying on Sally and Tina during life’s more difficult moments.
“We’ve watched families grow, celebrated their happiest moments, and supported them through the hardest ones”
It’s this personal approach that has earned Boutique Flowers the trust of generations of local families. Every arrangement is created by hand using fresh, high-quality flowers, with Sally and Tina beginning their day in the early hours to prepare each order with care.
Their reputation now extends far beyond Carlton, with customers across the UK and overseas returning to Boutique Flowers whenever they need flowers delivered to loved ones in the area.
