Red Rose Bouquet
The person who did this was Jack Benny.

Absolutely beautiful……

Each year he sent her roses,
and the note would always say,
I love you even more this year,
than last year on this day.
My love for you will always grow,
with every passing year.’ Continue reading

Event Highlight | Grocon End of Year Celebration

End of year corporate events are always fun to work on as they seem to have that sense of it being the last day of school before summer holidays back when you were a child. One of the end of year event highlights for us was to be once again working on Grocon’s annual end of year celebration in the very breathtaking Myer Mural Hall.

Mural Hall can be referred to as nothing less than a Melbourne treasure. Upon entering, you really do feel like you are stepping back in time and no detail has been overlooked in it’s recent refurbishment. Continue reading

Our new store on High Street, Prahran

After nearly 5 years of scouring commercial real estate websites for the perfect retail premises, we finally opened the doors to our first retail store at 537 High Street, Prahran on the 10th February 2012.

Some exciting news!

After years of hunting around for the perfect retail premises, we have finally been handed the keys to our new retail store at 537 High Street, Prahran. Our South Melbourne studio will still continue to operate as per usual, but this new location will enable us to offer you a truly spectacular floral retail experience, which we believe will be unlike anything else in Australia.

We are aiming to open early February 2012, just in time for Valentines Day, but will keep you in the loop as we get closer to the date.

Big love to all and thank you for your continued support.

Kate.

Event Highlight | Ernst & Young – Entrepeneur of the Year Awards

With the event calendar well and truly overflowing, November is always huge month in Melbourne.

One of the biggest highlights for us this month was creating the floral designs for the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Awards at Peninsula (Atlantic Group [V]). It was a spectacular event to be part of which took months of planning, prototyping and sourcing.

We worked closely with the incredibly professional and creative team behind Rizer, who we have had the pleasure of working with previously when Paloma Picasso visited Australia in 2009 for the launch of her Tiffany & Co. range.

Little miss popular

Peony (Paeonia) Roses have to be the most popular flower this time of year and it’s easy to see why they are such a favourite.

There are two forms, tree and herbaceous species. The tree varieties are the first to bloom in September (locally in Victoria) and the herbaceous varieties are sourced early October from New Zealand. Tree Peonies are much smaller and tend to only have a single layer of petals whereas the herbaceous varieties are much taller, fuller and more fragrant. Both species are available in many tones of pinks (pale, mid and coral) through to watermelon, dark red and grape tones.Peony Rose Vase Design Continue reading
