how and when was willow and wattle flora born?
Willow and Wattle Flora was born at the beginning of 2017, when I was getting tired of my Vet nursing job that I'd been doing forever and wanted to do something that set my soul alight. I converted my garage into a workshop, went to the flower markets and bought a few bunches of flowers, and the ball started rolling from there!
We can offer an easy, personal service with wild bohemian style blooms. We kind of became known for our use of Australian Natives but work with all types of beautiful blooms! I like to keep the flowers loose and unstructured, which I have found really resonates with our easy-going carefree brides!
do you have any stories that you would like to share from your experiences?
I got the opportunity to do the wedding flowers for my sister's best friend last year. It was really special getting to create a beautiful bouquet for my sister to carry down the aisle while she was maid of honour for her best friend!
I think my favourite part is when I deliver the bouquets to the girls when they are getting ready. I usually get a great reaction with lots of "oohs and ahs" and sometimes even tears! It's a super special moment.
