LIZZIE MAY LTD

What LIZZIE MAY LTD does

Lizzie May Ltd is a privately held, founder-owned UK boutique operating in the East of England, founded by Claire in approximately 2017 and incorporated as a private limited company. The company's functional role is to deliver integrated wedding planning, venue styling, and floristry services to couples in Cambridgeshire and adjacent counties, alongside adjacent occasion-based floristry (funeral tributes) and a subscription / one-off flower retail line. Core products and services span quote-based wedding planning (full, partial, design & styling, hourly consultancy), unit-priced wedding floristry (bridal bouquets from £145, bridesmaid bouquets from £70, displays from £95, table displays from £125, cake flowers from £40, bud vases from £8), wedding stationery (invitations from £2 each, welcome signs from £60, name cards from £1.50 each), rental decor (welcome signs, chair sashes, outdoor games), a bouquet preservation keepsake service (£165–£325 by frame size), a bi-weekly flower subscription at £22.50 per delivery, and a single physical boutique in Hemingford Grey selling fresh flowers, homeware, gifts, plants and candles. The technology stack is intentionally light — a Wix-hosted website supporting e-commerce and contact-form intake — with no proprietary systems, integrations, or AI components documented; all customisation is in physical floristry, framing craftsmanship, and bespoke wedding design.

The business model is hybrid services-plus-retail: revenue is generated from one-off, project-priced wedding engagements (the largest and least price-transparent line, quoted per scope), transactional floristry and stationery SKUs, a recurring subscription stream, transactional rental fees, and physical boutique walk-in sales. Distribution is regional and direct-to-consumer via the website, email inquiry, the boutique storefront (Tuesday–Saturday 10am–4pm), and local delivery or collection. Customer acquisition is primarily organic through Facebook and Instagram portfolios, search/website inquiry forms, and a curated recommended-supplier network of regional venues, photographers, DJs, cake makers, beauticians and celebrants that cross-refer brides and grooms to Lizzie May. Founder equity is privately held with no external investors, no funding rounds, and no parent entity, consistent with a bootstrapped lifestyle-scale service business.
