Looking around the gardens of Melbourne, you would be forgiven for thinking that there is not much floral variety on offer. However given the global supply of fresh flowers, your local florist has lots of colours and variety to play with.
Our flowers are well travelled before they end up looking beautiful in your house or on your desk in the office. We collect them from the Wholesale Flower Market but they have been grown in soils all over the world. Singapore Orchids are shipped in large boxes from… yes, Singapore!
Life in a flower shop is surprisingly more hectic than you might think. Beautiful floral arrangements take a lot of time, energy and creativity. For a young florist, such as me, there is a lot to get a hold of. An arrangement is meant to look natural, as if the flowers have just grown out of the box or vase
A wedding is one of the most important milestones in a woman’s life. Being the most important day, the wedding preparations have to be planned very well. You need to have enough time for the preparations as well as focus to every important detail.
Peonies season is well and truly here. Due to the warm Melbourne October weather, the local peonies are about a week early. Normally the brighter salmon coral pink peonies are available first for a couple of weeks before we get to see any soft pale pink or white peonies.
When it comes to organising your wedding day there are many details you have to keep on top of. Some of these details may not seem significant but together they ensure your big day is picture perfect. One of these details is your flowers. There is so much to think about and do when it comes to wedding planning.
