Notes From The Studio

Flowers that look like they grew there, not like they were arranged.

Studio flower wall, loose seasonal arrangement

Most florists work from a catalogue. We work from what's actually good this week — which means the arrangement you get in July will look nothing like the one you'd get in November, and that's entirely the point. We'd rather hand you something a little wild and genuinely seasonal than something perfect and flown in from three countries away.

It started in 2018 as a market stall, three days a week, selling whatever we could source from growers within an hour of the city. Six years on, the studio's grown, but the sourcing rule hasn't changed — if it's not in season locally, it's not going in an arrangement, no matter how many times a bride asks for peonies in December.

How we actually work

Every order starts with a conversation, not a catalogue page. Tell us the occasion, the colours you're drawn to, and what you don't like — we'll build the rest around what's genuinely good at the market that week.

Availability changes weekly, sometimes day to day — we'll never substitute without telling you first.

We don't do "the same twelve roses everyone else does." If it's not growing somewhere nearby right now, it's not in your bouquet.

Every arrangement is tied by hand, the same morning it's collected or delivered.

This week, we're working with

The list changes every Monday based on what's come in from our growers. Here's what's genuinely good right now:

Garden RosesBlush & apricot tones, heavily scented
RanunculusDeep burgundy, layered petals
Sweet PeaTrailing stems, soft pastel mix
DahliaDinner-plate size, café-au-lait tone
Native FoliageGum, wattle & grevillea, locally cut
Bridal-style garden arrangement on linen

Weddings & events

We take a limited number of weddings each season — usually 4 to 6 — so the studio can still run its regular weekly orders alongside them. If you're planning around a specific date, the earlier you reach out, the better the odds of getting exactly what's blooming that week rather than a close substitute.

Peak season (Oct–Mar) books out 6–9 months ahead. Off-season dates are far more flexible.

They talked us out of peonies for a March wedding and into dahlias instead — it ended up being the thing everyone complimented.
