About Us
My name is Paolo. I was born and raised in Barry, Vale of Glamorgan. I have been fascinated by flowers ever since I was ten years old and feel very lucky that I am able to work with them. I love the buzz of creating dreams and magical settings within a world where everything’s possible and the words “can’t do” are never uttered! I run an independent flower design service based in the Vale of Glamorgan where I have a studio & workshop. Growing up in the Vale I’ve always loved flowers, spending many hazy days roaming the Welsh countryside & playing in the midst of stunning nature all around me! I was lucky enough to study floristry & design at Swansea , focusing on floristry, textiles, printmaking and painting. I have always adored fashion, art and design.

"We asked Paolo to create our floral displays for our wedding earlier this month. We got engaged in Costa Rica so it was really important to us that tropical flowers, in particular the ‘Bird of Paradise’ flower was prominent throughout the displays and the whole day in general. By seeing examples from Paolo’s portfolio when we met with him for the first time, it was very plain for us to see that he was extremely talented and had an exceptional eye for detail. Nothing prepared us for the absolutely stunning arrangements that he created for us. They were beautiful and completely exceeded any expectations that we had built up in our minds. Paolo listened to every detail that was important to us to create bespoke pieces that were perfect for the look and feel that we wanted to create on our wedding day. Every single guest, supplier and member of the venue team that saw our flowers was taken aback by just how beautiful they were. We cannot recommend Heavenscent enough and would definitely use their services again in the future. From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU."

The heart wreath was absolutely stunning, it was way beyond my expectations, the adding of the rosemary was such a marvellous idea, the aroma was out of this world. Thank you very much for everything, your help, guidance and friendliness meant that I didn’t have to worry about the flowers at such a stressful time. I would most definitely recommend you to friends and family. Many thanks"
"Can’t thank Paolo enough for the beautiful flowers for our fathers funeral. Paolo is first and foremost a person and not a salesman. Not knowing a great deal about flowers myself he helped us choose what was current and a fitting tribute to my father. He would’ve loved them.

One week later, the arrangements that I took home still remain intact and in bloom. We are so very glad that you were recommended to us, we feel you provided us with a great personal service and nothing was too much trouble which goes a long way when under the distress of losing a loved one. We will not hesitate to recommend you in the future. The 2 extra roses that you put together were also gratefully received and appreciated Thanks again, Best regards,"
"I just wanted to thank you for the amazing service your “Heaven’s Scent” company provided for my brother’s funeral. You not only made beautiful floral tributes for the ceremony at Thornhill, but personally delivered them to the funeral director’s location and went beyond that to deliver a rose plant to my brother’s home. That was amazingly thoughtful. You went beyond the norm to help me, coming over from the US, confronted with a time difference, currency differences and the crazy logistics of time constraints, to ensure that I was able to pay tribute to my garden loving brother and his family. I am so glad that Pidgeons Funeral Home recommended you to me as you demonstrated an amazing empathy for a sad and stressful situation. Thank you again,"

"Oh Paolo, I’ve meant all day to contact you to say thank you but another manic day and I’ve felt so unwell. What you created was stunning! Everybody gasped and seeing them made me cry-but with joy please understand! The quality is amazing and you interpreted completely what I had tried to convey to you. They are still so fresh-we kept them overnight in the Old Post House conservatory because it was suitably cool. We have placed them on my grandparent’s grave and taken lots of photos which I will send to you. Everybody asked ‘who did your flowers?’ so I hope that more custom will be on its way to you soon! I will certainly be using you again as I said to you last Sunday-and very soon-as sadly my mother-in-law was too unwell to attend the funeral yesterday. I will be in touch to discuss something to send to her. You should be very, very proud of your work because your passion shines clearly through!!! Thank you for what you created for us-my mother would have been overjoyed. Please use this as advertising! With the greatest of thanks Ruth and family"

"When my father passed away it was a traumatic time for all of us. There was so much to think of at such an upsetting time. My mum wanted dad’s flowers to be really special because she felt it was the last thing she could do for him. Heaven scent was recommended to us and we were told Paolo is very professional and will ensure you are well looked after. From the moment I spoke to Paolo I knew we were in good hands. He was very kind and caring and came to the house so we could choose flowers in the comfort of our own home as he realised seeing photos of funeral arrangements could be initially upsetting. On the day of the funeral he endured the flowers were perfect and phoned me to let me know everything was done. The arrangements he did for us were beautiful and he even made some posies out of the larger arrangement for us to keep. I would not hesitate to recommend heaven scent for not only a professional service but also for that special personal and caring touch. Thank you so much Paolo."
"As Funeral Directors we dont have an easy task when it comes to pointing a family in the right direction of the best florist as we dont always get to meet them before we see their work. When I meet Paolo he showed me his amazing work and how passionate he is about the work that he does. Since then I have been pointing my family's in his direction to speak and meet with him to discuss tributes for their loved one."
