I love people, I love flowers, and I love love. And with a name like mine, petal?

 

I was literally born to love you, flower friend.

 

In 2012 I found my start in floristry, and since then I've been working to help create events that feel authentic and true to my clients.

​

I love to hear your story, dream and collaborate together, then, guided by creativity and intuition, reflect your story back to you, through design.

 

It's a joy to work with local and ethical vendors, suppliers, and produce, decreasing my carbon footprint and reducing my plastic use. ‘Earth laughs in flowers,’ and I want to do my best to help keep her laughing, long and loud.

 

Oh Hello Petal was born out of my desire to bring beauty and meaning to celebrations that honour all seasons of life and love.

 

I'm also wife to Steve and mama to Grace, and we live and work on Wurundjeri land in Naarm {Melbourne.} I love a good bath, freshly painted nails, and the way my house smells after I've baked whatever's on the menu for that week — I'm a total sucker for choc-chip cookies!

 

It’s my deep joy to guide and cheer as you journey towards the commitment of marriage, the celebration of a special life event, and to honour you with creativity, celebrating you in such a way that helps you feel seen, worthy and loved.

 

But enough about me —  I’d love to know more about you!  Let’s dream about how we can breathe life into your creative vision, together.
