I'm truly excited and have been waiting so patiently to bring you our home grown flowers confetti.

It's taken over 5 years of planning
Organising , getting permission from our landlord and watching it transform into something so beautiful.

Hard work , blood and tears
We've finally done it .
We wanted to make our confetti the best , have beautiful petals for the best value and bring your special day so much love and happiness as much as we've had growing them.

Since there is no middle man , we control the amount of different petals we want in each mix , we wanted to also have it as a package so all you have to do is get the confetti, add into your bag and ready for your special day.
No chasing for bags or cones , stickers nothing .

So now you say what's included in this package
Ok let's go ☺️

Flower Confetti Range by Swanella

- 1 litre of mixed homegrown, hand harvested, dried & packaged petals
- 12 to 14 compostable bags made from recycled paper husks
- Throw Me Stickers that are hand made by Swanella
- Plus a bonus scoop has been thrown in to complete this beautiful package grown from seed to your wedding, by Swanella Creations.

Now we have more amazing news
The count down to launching our website
This Thursday 5pm
Get all your friends , family neighbours or work colleagues to jump on
It's worth the wait 😜

02/09/2024

The wait is over .

Confetti mixes are launching tonight.
Fingers, toes and eyes crossed website should be launching this weekend going live 😍😍😍

Yes I'm excited , why you say ?

It's taken a few years of blood sweat and tears .
Growing from seed. With challenges like weather , my own personal health issues to life though we have done it .

I'm so proud of everything we have done .
Bringing you the best flower confetti you'll find .
Did you know.........
The majority of our petals are editable, biodegradable, grown organically and pesticide free.

We live on an 800mt block in Lilydale.
We dreamt of enjoying every inch of this property and to utilise it to the best we can.
Watching all kinds of animals , insects , geckos , lizards , foxes and the all mighty Roo or 2 .
It's been amazing knowing we have brought an eco system into our back and front yards and we aren't stopping.

Swanella Creations has more up its sleeve.
We believe every celebration deserves to be special.
Remembering the moments.

So follow our journey
Bring your friends, family and neighbours
And see us grow.

Feels like Christmas each time I receive supplies .

The excitement I get knowing I have received a bulk order to get ready to make creations for someones special day .

I've always enjoyed making gifts , knowing it's handmade from me . Watching their facial expressions and the smiles brings a warm fuzzy feeling.
Yeah it sounds so cheesy though truly it is the best feeling hearing from you , the compliments the reactions and seeing that you know all the hard work I've put in to make your day so special.

As a small business owner I take pride in my work , knowing it's for a special occasion .
Putting in late nights and sleepless days
It's all worth it .

Highlights of Summer.

Love Spring and summer blooms .
Colours from larkspurs to cornflowers
Sunflowers , everlasting daisies cosmos and so much more .
The majority of our flowers are also editable , so you definitely know you're safe to use for little children .

At the moment, it's the season to take seeds,
Germinate , let grow and wait patiently for blooms to form .
Slow process but so worth the wait.
Keep watching our journey for more progress on our eco friendly confetti making
It's nearly time to show it all off 😍😍😍

We tend to sometimes forget that saying thank you or giving a small gift to show appreciation may not mean so much to you but a lot to those people you give it too.

I love giving gifts , I'm so weird as James keeps reminding me when receiving them.
It's not because I don't appreciate them it's because I'm not so used to it .

May it be a card, a treat or something over the top , giving is truly a beautiful way to express how grateful you are and what they mean to you and even better when the gift is handmade .

Since having Swanella Creations I've always made gifts .
Gift giving has always been special to me.
Watching people's reactions.
Making gifts for a customer knowing that it's going to someone special in their life's
Hearing stories , brings so much emotion and joy .

The reason behind me making my cards is that they help the environment.
I recycle all the paper at home to make my hearts.
I try and do as much as I can to help our amazing planet.
I wanted something unique, something that stands out handmade and most of all affordable.
I'll keep saying this "why spend a fortune"

Right now til the end of May my Thankyou Favours are on sale.
Taking orders for 2024- 25

Who else loves the colour purple 💜

I love all colours but purple especially when I see cosmos flowers bloom I'm in smile mode.

So this year my purple chrysanthemums came up and started blooming you could imagine, this woman started to dance 😂🕺

What flower s are you using for your special day??

24/04/2024

We shall never forget

I believe this cosmos flower reminded me today , even tho I'm different to many
I think differently
I love differently
I talk differently
I want differently
Yes I'm different but I'm a beautiful person.

I love how nature reminds us of beauty around us.

Let's talk 🐝

They're hard working, they pollinate & they produce for us yummy honey.

Can we live without them?

Certainly NOT !! I've read that they pollinate 80% of our food sources around the world and without them we could still live on but I disagree with that fact .

Just think about it. The majority of foods they pollinate are foods to stay alive and healthy .
So yes we can live on but the downside to this is we come across health issues such as disease, malnutrition and unfortunately cancers leading to maybe death.

We need to help them and fast !
With declining numbers due to environmental
Pesticide, lack of crop diversity, deforestation and let's add convenience.
We will loss these amazing hard working creatures for ever 💔

How can we help

*Teach our children so they're aware.
*Plant more trees, natives , flowers
Around your home
* Join a community plant club
*Make bee homes
*And buy from responsible small businesses like myself who want to make a difference.
Who cares for the environment
Who is planting flowers , plants to see their population grow.

My vision for my plantable heart seed paper wasn't only to sell but to see people as passionate as myself and James to help this beautiful planet .
It takes one person with a vision , it takes many to help and support their passion.

So let's

Fortunately only a few. We now know they definitely work 😁

Lesson learnt

Project X taking shape.

All compost bins gone and relocated.
Raised beds in place and filled with flowers and with more to come.

And then there's that space , what could it be ?🤔
Should I tell ?...........nope I think you just have to keep watching this space 😁😁😁

Online shopping Vs face to face .

I understand we live in a world of convenience , the world is so fast paced and we have less time for ourselves and for those we love .

I'm one who enjoys jumping on my phone and boooooom I've ordered goodies . May it be from clothes to gifts to food .  But are we getting what we truly want ?

Are we getting value for money ?

Are you satisfied most of the time ?

I will raise my hand that I've had my fair share of bad quality goods.

Wasted money and time and the sad part , it would have taken less time to go out there chat to a person and see it, then the hassle of waiting .

I hate calling companies to get my money back and then the extra expense of sending it back .😡

What happened to customer service and making that time to get all questions answered.

Are we becoming too reliant on convenience 🤔

I know doing a website will increase my sales ,I just don't want to fall into the trap of seeing my customers unsatisfied.

I believe depending on products you are reaching to the consumer we need other than a button to press .

Those statistics are pretty confronting.
82% don't want to socialise , so why are we on social platforms?

To all especially the bride's to be 
Do you like having contact with the person you're buying from or are you jumping online and buying it and done ???
