The site provides advice and planning tips for all aspects of weddings and has awarded Amy the title of Best Florist in the West Midlands for her professionalism and quality of work in each category. It came after clients rated the service they received.

The 28-year-old has only been working for herself for two and a half years after taking a course at Rodbaston College.

As well as doing weddings she also provides flowers for funerals and other occasions such as anniversaries and will be busy with Mother's Day on the horizon.

Talent runs in the family as well: Amy is the daughter of Black Country Comedienne 'Our Trace' who has appeared all over the region and on television.

In a Facebook post, Our Trace - real name Tracey Kim Rhodes - said: "We are so proud of our beautiful daughter Amy Haviland.

"All her hard work, passion and dedication is paying off."

Amy said: "I love my work and I hope it shows, it was nice to be nominated and then win the florist award because it is recognition from customers who I have actually helped and worked with."
