HORRABRIDGE florist Nadia Taylor has been shortlisted for a national award for the best new business.

The award for best breakthrough business in the hitched.co.uk wedding website national wedding awards was judged out of the 50 top new florists throughout the country by industry experts. Judges chose the best ten florists through samples of their work, personal statements and their websites. 

At the age of just 22, Nadia opened her Horrabridge flower shop, Flowers Going Green late in 2009 and despite the financial crisis is about to celebrate two successful years in business. During that time Nadia has developed her business to specialise in wedding flowers as well as offering flowers for any occasion. 

Nadia said: 'I'm so thrilled to have been nominated for the Wedding Florist Breakthrough Award against so many great florists.

'We've had such fantastic support from our customers and really enjoy providing them with the best possible customer service and products which this nomination recognises.'

The top ten nominated florists now face the public's vote to find the best breakthrough florist. Voting at http://www.hitched.co.uk/hba">www.hitched.co.uk/hba is open until October 16 where you can view a sample of work and vote for the winner. Nadia is listed as Nadia Folland (rather than Taylor) having married since first entering the competition.
