Beautiful in Richmond. The perfect rustic courtyard to say ‘I do’ in. The stunning ivy wall is a blank canvas for your ceremony flowers to stand out. We like to use light, white, with pops of colour florals to complement the expanse of green.
We used our metal stands covered in lush seasonal blooms for Yii Min and Shan at the end of the aisle. Placed at the end of each row of chairs were little flower clouds that were later moved into the reception space. We love a dual purpose floral element.

Winter Flower Exhibition at Villa Alba Museum (Kew) 2022 ‘Reminiscence’ Where time stands still. We invite you to view our installation and take a moment for yourself to reflect and be still. We’ve created a serene and peaceful space for you to reflect on the past and present, stand on the edge of the quiet and go within. We ask you to see the contrast between nature and architecture. The hard lines and the faded colours of the space as it stands, solid and ageing and the new growth, forever changing, dying, regenerating, living. Can you feel the resonance of the history in this space, within these walls, within this moment in time?
Just a tad cold and very windy today but we had an awesome foraging session and have lots of goodies for our installation @villa_alba_museum as part of their Winter Flower exhibition this weekend. Tickets can be purchased through the @villa_alba_museum website. 🌾🌾🌾 . . . . .
We loved creating this beautiful surprise for two sweet little girls yesterday, just to brighten their day in lockdown. It makes my heart so happy spreading your love and wishes, thank you for your trust friends 🌸🤍
Miriam and Joseph’s winter wedding reception❄️🌾 All the love for this beautiful couple that trusted us to create some flower magic for their special day.

Michaela’s native wildflower Bridal bouquet in all its colourful glory 🌈✨ . . . 🖤🥀🦊
Yesterday I had the privilege of creating this bespoke tribute arrangement for a friend’s lovely Dad, something that I’m always honoured to be asked to do. This man’s pride and joy was his garden and he spent much of his time planning, planting, pruning, weeding and watering it. I foraged there and found a few gems and then with the help of his family who shared with me some photos of the garden in all it’s glory I set about combining these foraged items with other fresh flowers to recreate a small garden to sit atop his casket. I’m very proud of what I was able to create for him and his family felt it was a true and beautiful representation of him.🕊#lovemyjob #flowerlover . . . 🖤🥀🦊
It was a joy to make this beautiful bespoke flower crown yesterday in my sun dappled studio with this sweet bird singing in the garden. Winter you ain’t too bad. ☀️🎼 . . . 🖤🥀🦊

Our Story
Violet and the Fox is a bespoke flower studio run by me, Mel Barkley, from my home in Box Hill North Melbourne. I specialise in unique and unusual flower combos using only the best and freshest seasonal produce on offer. Just like fruit and veggies, flowers are best when we buy them seasonally, plus what a beautiful way to watch the changing seasons through flowers and foliage!
Each week I visit the flower markets and select a colour palette of flowers, foliage, berries, branches you name it. This selection changes every week as that’s nature, always changing. I will then make up various sized bunches and arrangements depending on what orders I receive. If you would like something specific I can accomodate your request with a couple of days notice.
Our services also include flowers for weddings, events and corporate organisations.
This year I will also be running a variety of floral workshops locally so stay tuned!
Thanks for visiting!
Mel x
