welcome to
Flora in the Wild began in 2018, born from my lifelong love of flowers and the untamed places they grow. Inspired by the windswept coast and the stillness of country days, each creation is made by hand — soft, nostalgic, and a little wild.
I work with flowers grown by local growers and those gathered seasonally from my own garden, following nature’s rhythm and letting the seasons guide what I create. Every bouquet and handcrafted gift is an invitation to pause, connect, and honour the gentle beauty in everyday life.
Here, beauty is imperfect, natural, and full of story.
Whether you’re sending something special or simply treating your own wild heart — thank you for letting me be part of your moment.

Workshops
Come gather with me.
My workshops are quiet, hands-on spaces where we slow down, play with beautiful flowers, and reconnect to creativity. You don’t need any experience — just curiosity, gentle hands, and a love for nature.
Whether it’s crafting a wild bouquet, making a dried flower wreath, or building something beautiful with the seasons, you’ll leave with something made by you — and a heart a little fuller than when you came.
Weddings and Elopements
I specialise in florals for small, intimate weddings, elopements, and coastal celebrations — the kind of gatherings that feel deeply personal and full of heart. Whether it’s a seaside “just us,” a quiet wedding with your closest people, or a softly meaningful celebration, flowers have a way of holding the moment.
My style is wild, romantic, and a little untamed — as if gathered from a secret garden by the sea. I’m drawn to natural movement, texture, and a sense of ease, using locally grown blooms and nature’s seasonal palette to create florals that feel honest and timeless.
No two love stories are the same — and your flowers shouldn’t be either. Together, we’ll create something beautiful and true to you, shaped by place, season, and feeling.

Come with me, to the Sea.
Life shifts when we cease gazing backward or stretching forward. True happiness resides in the simplest moments: those languid mornings witnessing the sunrise, cradling a freshly brewed coffee. The birds, steadfast...
