When the crazy shaped vine just forms in your hand to create such delightful movement, the rare and special harpine leaves have just the right curve, the bracken is curls just so, the silver of the argentium is the perfect shade of silver for the tilandsia, the dried mushrooms sit just right & the dried smoke bush is all mysterious purplish fluff & best of all those treasured browns, silvers & speckled feathers from my wonderful prince peacock are bringing it all together ✨🖤

It’s been much too long between flower appreciation pics .... this wind has seen to it that these babes are now a mere mauve carpet on the ground ..... Paulownia trees lined our paddocks when we arrived 18 years ago...... not a long living tree but incredibly fast growing & used as a fodder tree for livestock in times of drought...... hence the feast that is had when my four legged family get close enough to snatch a snack of the leaves & the flowers....... speaking of flowers let’s appreciate this giant cluster of mauve & cream marshmallowy goodness..... only lasting a few days in the vase but the fragrance 💚 .... twilight strolls in spring have nostrils filled with the warm and sweet scent .... think musk sticks ( if you’re from my era you’ll know exactly what that smell tastes like 😂) .... until next spring lovelies.....just one tree left to flower & grace us with colour & that’s my treasured jacaranda always a month or so later than everyone else’s..... but so worth the wait ..... happy Saturday flower friends x

READY TO BLOOM - sessions

The last 2 days In the studio were filled with blooms, ideas, fears, solutions, goals, home made lunches, eco friendly design, laughter & tonnes of learning, even an impromptu flower farm visit. .
This gorgeous new client is bringing blooms to her flower deprived community. ....I’m left today so excited by the opportunities that await her & aware of the privilege that it is to help her niggling little dream in the back of her mind actually become a reality. .
See my ( very long & informative ) story for more of what this start up ‘READY TO BLOOM’ program is all about or see the website for more details but seriously I love this opportunity to share, create & find solutions to your unique issues and to help you & your business flourish!!

What bliss it was to spend a balmy spring Sunday afternoon with these fabulous ladies // huge thank you to @heiferstationwines for having us, what a space!! Learning the story behind this family owned winery just adds to how damn delicious their wines are // 5 star grazing plates under the tree by the vines for lunch with swirling cotton wood in the air, fluffy chickens,connecting with new friends and @freya_wine rose ( Sunday lunches don’t get much better let me say) // oh & yes not to mention our little floral meditation creating a boho inspired statement vase to take home and enjoy. /// ‘ thank you Ive had THE best day’ is often the feedback from my luxe workshop experiences and let me say the main reason I think this is..... CONNECTION & CREATIVITY WITH NATURE /// & it just warms my soul to be a part of that experience for people. 🙏🏻 thanks ladies - let’s book in next year 🥂

SPRING HAS BURST
into the studio, her abundance fragrance preceding her, without so much as a polite knock for which I am delighted. .
She wears stripy tights, red shiny stilettos and a swirling fabulous skirt from which she is high kicking with Pom Poms in her hands cheerleading her arrival in the most raucous & fabulous way. . “Welcome welcome beautiful it’s been much too long! “ I say. .

Does anyone else think in pictures or am I just a little weird flower fairy on my own over here In my flower filled studio? #springhassprung

THANK YOU LADIES FOR HAVING ME x
.
.
Earlier this month I was honoured to be the guest speaker @mindfullywed eco business workshop In the stunning Macedon Ranges organised by these gorgeous souls that I’m happy to now call friends Danielle @croftersfold Sandra @less_stuff_more_meaning & Aga @agajonesflowers .
The overwhelming pre workshop request was, in addition to learning alternative & more eco friendly practices was to connect with like minded floral friends ..... so creating a community over competition vibe was our priority !! .
With a ‘round table’ set up, a beautiful meditation to begin @botanical ical_goddess & encouraging an open hearted safe space to share, learn & build the community they crave I can honestly say that I was blown away by the honesty shared and the connections made in just one day 💚
..
Flower growers, florists both new to the industry & experienced created together, shared experiences & became a floral tribe of eco warriors!! .
.
I’ve returned home excited for the future of this nature loving industry and more inspired by this #nofloralfoam movement.....so Thank you for investing in yourselves..... thank you for the warmest of welcomes & wish you all happiness, clarity & thriving ‘green’ businesses🙏🏻

Frequently ASKED QUESTIONS

Where do you source your flowers from?

Where possible, all my flowers and botanicals are sourced from local farmers and growers. Better yet, many are sourced from my own property, lovingly planted and nurtured by me!

How far in advance do I need to book the floral arrangements for my wedding?

I currently offer bespoke wedding packages, unique to each couple and their needs.

I choose to participate in about 6-8 weddings a year, around my other projects and commitments. This means when I service a wedding I can really take the time to focus on the unique needs of my clients.

To answer your question about timing more accurately, please send me a message in the form above and let’s have a floral chat.

Do you offer consulting to other budding florists?

Glad you asked!

I am currently in the process of developing the business consulting arm of Wild Flora Studio. With over 30 years industry and teaching experience it is now time to “branch out” into the world of consulting and I am super excited!

If you are interested in training courses or mentoring, please contact me via the form above.

How far will you travel with your workshops?

I love to travel and am in planning mode for some exciting projects that will see me spreading the Wild Flora love far and wide in 2019. Stay tuned!

Do you run workshops for florists & stylists in the industry?

Yes, I have a limited number of industry-based masterclasses and hands-on workshops coming soon, with added business Q & A sessions that I’m really looking forward to.
