A CRAIG-y-Don florist is celebrating 10 years in business.
Scent with Love, on Queen's Road, havr created a window display of photographs to mark all the memories, special times and changes the team have been through over the last decade.
Owner Sarah Hudson said: "It has been an incredible journey. We have been embraced by the local community and welcomed into the wedding industry.
"The window display features photographs of changes in the shop, work we have created and pictures of special people that have made our journey all the more wonderful.
"There are photos of my husband refurbing the shop and my two children as they have grown over the years.
"In addition, we placed 20 bouquets throughout Craig-Y-Don and Llandudno to say thank you for the continued support and custom throughout the years."
Sarah is joined at Scent with Love by Claire Dennis, who has been with her nine years, and Rachel Chapman, who has been with Sarah for seven years.
Sarah said: "We are one big family and I would be lost without them."
Sarah started her training 30 years ago, when she enrolled in Northop Horticultural College. After a two year course, she worked for 20 years in different florists.
"My husband is in the RAF, so whilst supporting him in his career, I have had great experience working in florists around the UK, doing all aspects of floristry," Sarah said.
"When we moved back to North Wales, I plucked up the courage to open my own flower shop and I have never looked back."
Talking about how the floristry industry has changed over the years, Sarah said: "I knew as a high street florist I needed to do more than rely on just high street trade to survive. Because of this I embarked on specialising as a wedding florist. We do all aspects of wedding floristry from bouquets, churches to full venue dressing.
"I'm privileged to love all areas of my work, creating different designs and embracing exciting challenges. Every day is never the same which is what I love.
"We source our flowers from Holland and have a fantastic network of suppliers that deliver to us most days. This enables us to constantly have a wide range of top grade fresh flowers available for purchase and same day delivery.
