Ode to Joy

Yana Kobyakova worked in Houston before settling in Rutland with her husband and three children. Flowers are her passion and her new business Ode to Joy is a thoroughly original expression of a deep interest in all things floral. She is helped by Alex Doherty who brings floristry and retail experience.

The shop itself now has a fine Georgian frontage onto Ironmonger Street conveniently opposite Hambleton Bakery. To some degree, like other florists they sell cut flowers but the choice always reflects a keen eye and reluctance to settle for the more boring output of the Amsterdam flower market. Mossy baskets planted with spring flowers caught my eye along with a wide range of charming table linen, china, glass and decorative objects to make your table a wow!

Yana and Alex are in their element if asked to help with weddings and other parties where the floral element is important. They conduct workshops in which they share with clients their creative vision and techniques.

They particularly enjoy fulfilling special orders to make your house look and feel wonderful for any special occasion.
