Can't wait to post our new collections - ready soon 🎈

27/08/2026

🥳You will have noticed we have a new business name - Willow & Rye : many off you already know, health issues forced me down a different path, having owned Poppies for a long long time in a bricks & mortar environment, it wasn't an easy decision to make - I miss the fresh flowers every single day! But times change & in order to embrace a new style and a new way of working; I'm excited to share this beautiful new chapter with you - with our new name comes an exciting shift in what we do & where we do it. Moving forward, we have become an online entity, we are stepping away from fresh flowers & dedicating ourselves to the world of premium realistic faux flowers, along with offering a select few procured gifts. It was a natural step for us to switch over to everlasting beauty, the idea of no watering, no wilting - just instant, permanent elegance, a sustainable investment for your home, gifting and events allowed us to continue with our creative side. Our new collection is being created and will be ready to share with you in the very near future, for now, I wanted to share our news, keep you updated and let you know we are still here. I want to say a massive thank you for supporting us at Poppies. We cannot wait for you to fall in love with Willow & Rye. 🍂

Sad to see another charity branch close down, but when retail businesses employing paid staff are closing, we can't be surprised 😢
