BLOOMING WONDERFUL
What the Fleur
Specialising in creating floral displays full of personality – with fun colour combinations and interesting blooms – What the Fleur was founded by florist Julia Zimmerman in 2018. It began as a wedding and event service, opening its first store in 2019 in Suffolk. A longtime dream was realised when the business opened a bricks-and-mortar premises in Cambridge in August 2022. Today, the quaint flower shop at 23 Magdalene Street is where the magic happens. A vibrant space, the shop sells fresh and dried flowers, plants and homeware to display them in. It sends out daily flower deliveries, designs wedding and event florals and hosts intimate workshops. Orders can be placed online or over the phone. Customers can also come in-person
and make their own bouquet from scratch. @what_the_fleur | whatthefleur.co.uk
