Colette qualified as a florist from The Welsh College of Horticulture in 1985 aged 20 and worked in North Wales for a number of years whilst bringing up two young children.

Other jobs have come and gone but flowers have always remained her 'passion' and in September 2004 Acoletti Floral Designs was born.

Colette is now 41 with two grown up children and has lived on the Wirral for the last 10 years. She is also a qualified Holistic Therapist.

Acoletti Floral Designs believes that floristry should never be dull but always creative, stylish, bold and interesting.
