Wishing Dad’s a Happy Father’s Day!

Witnessing the bond between Ronan and Stephen has shown me the profound impact a father can have. Although my own father was taken from me when I was just 2, I’ve come to understand the depth of a father’s love through their relationship and I’m so grateful our son has him.

To all the dads, both here and gone, who encourage, inspire, and love unconditionally, thank you. 💙

🌸Exciting News!🌸

I am thrilled and honored to share that I have been recognized as one of the 100 Faces of Floristry by The Florist Magazine, a leading trade publication that has been the voice of the flower industry in The UK & Ireland since 1949. This recognition means a lot to me, especially as you needed to be nominated by someone who believes you’re making a real impact. The nomination itself was read aloud by the editor and was so lovely.. and a little surreal to hear an editor in the UK speaking about my small (but mighty 😉🌸) business here in Cork. There were 500 florists nominated and after all were considered, we made the cut into the top 100. 😊

Well done to all nominees and especially to my fellow Irish designers. I’ll hilight once I can see a full list!

Below is an excerpt from my lovely nomination 😊

“Kelly O’Sullivan is a third-generation florist and former fashion stylist whose eye for color, shapes, and arrangement shines through her work. Inspired by nature and seasonality, she has ventured into microflower farming, championing sustainability. Her chic studio, built by her horticulturalist husband, serves as a beautiful workspace and educational hub. From starting in a pop-up to blossoming into a studio and farm, Kelly has become a force in the flower community, unfailingly leading with her best flowery foot forward. This recognition is especially meaningful as it coincides with British Flowers Week and National Florist Day, highlighting the synergy of her nomination.”

Thank you to The Florist Magazine for this honour and your efforts, inspiring, informing and hilighting the floristry community. Thank you to my all my customers and community of flowering friends who have supported us from the beginning and continue to do so each step of the way.
Here’s to celebrating the beauty of flowers and the alll the talented individuals who bring them to life!

What impact does a heartfelt “Thank You” have…?

With Jenny’s permission, I wanted to share this beautiful message she sent to me for a couple of reasons..

Jenny’s note was so kind, warm and genuine, she made me feel like a million bucks.. I love my job, but I won’t fool you into thinking it’s easy to create all the magic and beauty we bring to you... there is a lot that goes on behind the scenes that we will probably never share.

Positive feedback creates MORE….More Energy, More Stamina, More Motivation, More Passion, More Gratitude, More Creativity, More Satisfaction…More Fuel to keep going.

Creative people are big hearted individuals, and when you acknowledge the hard work and heart that has been poured into something created just for you.. well it has a pretty big and far reaching impact.

Not to mention the fact that sharing positive feedback gives future brides the confidence to book More weddings with us…so we can create and share even More beautiful moments!

I hope you’ll take a moment to acknowledge people who put their heart into whatever it is that they are doing.. tell them in the moment, send a note, leave a review.. and please tell your friends…! 🤩

Just know that you are creating a ripple effect of positivity and abundance that will come right back to you. 💕🌸🤗

Special Thank You to Jenny & John 💕👰🤵🥂

You can just about make me out in this pic, lost in thought tending to the dahlias last year, quite literally surrounded by all my big ideas.

My job is to create beauty that brings joy… I try to always reflect that in my Insta feed.. but the truth is, transition is really hard.

At the moment we are in the middle of completely changing our business model from Floral Designer predominantly dependent on importing flowers to a Flower Farmer/ Designer primarily supplying our own flowers.

After admitting to some of the struggles I was facing and feeling to a very close friend of mine yesterday, he told me he thought I was very brave. He reminded me that we are at the hardest part in our journey right now and encouraged me to hold on to our vision, because I was nearly there. His words meant the world to me.

For our floral design business, growing our own flowers means not only enhancing the sustainability of our operations, but also gaining complete creative control over our materials. It means reducing our carbon footprint, avoiding harmful pesticides, and ensuring that every bloom we use is cultivated with care and consideration for the environment.

Visualizing the long-term benefits of this change helps us stay motivated. Imagining the vibrant, fragrant field of flowers we’ve nurtured from seed to bloom. Picturing the satisfaction of knowing each bouquet we create is not only beautiful but also environmentally responsible. Envisioning the stories we can tell our customers about the journey of each flower, from our garden to their hands.

Transition is hard, but we’re 100% committed and invite you to join us on our journey and witness the blossoming of a new chapter at The Flowersmith Studio.

Thank you for all your support so far and stay tuned for more updates coming this week🌸💕

Working with the very talented costume designer to create a special crown to complete the look for a very special performance this evening was such a joy!
Made from all fresh flowers including a variety of a spray roses, lisianthus, delphinium, fragrant jasmine vine, celosia, limonium, chrysanthemum, and Gypsophelia, this lovely crown will adorn for her performance of Mamasongue.

I love the creative process so much from beginning to end… from meeting with Valentina and chatting with Camilla, to choosing flowers, creating the piece .. and finally, my favourite part may actually have been getting behind the scenes at Cork Opera House to deliver! I entered through the stage door! 😂🙈🎭

It was a thrill and so much fun! 😃👏

Stephen and I have been so humbled and inspired by the support we have been shown from our customers and our wider community.

I believe whole heartedly in the power of intention, generosity and kindness. From the contributions of our Working Members to our CSA Field Flower Subscriptions.. reciprocity has sparked a powerful chain reaction.

Two Fridays of each month this summer and Autumn, we want to further Pay it Forward by gifting our field flowers where their love and light will be most appreciated.

In the words Maya Angelou, “When we give cheerfully and accept gratefully, everyone is blessed.”

We would love to welcome your nominations, whether it be for the angels walking amongst us who give selflessly day in and day out personally or professionally or for those walking through difficult times who need to be reminded how wonderful they are.

Some Fridays we may gift to individuals & some Fridays we may gift to groups.

As an additional layer, we would like to welcome you to join us in facilitating the gifting process, to get involved with creating & delivering these floral acts of kindness…its good for the soul 🤗

Please nominate in the comments below or DM and we will be in touch with updates soon. 🌸💕

Each Day we will start by harvesting and conditioning the flowers needed from our own flower field before getting to work.
We will spend our time immersed in creative conversations and application around design & composition, as I guide you through my approach.
We will cover everything from foam-free floral mechanics to selecting product that lends itself to natural floral design with a focus on sustainability, and that sets you up for success; to colour choices and placement, as well as creating movement in your work.

Using beautiful varieties of flowers and foliage we will create the following:

Wishing you all a very relaxed and Happy Easter🐣

Any opportunity to slow down and be present with my family is such a blessing these days 😊

I created this simple arrangement from mixed limonium in lovely pedestal vases in Buckle Brown.
They come in a set, I’ve used the larger one for this arrangement, but there is a smaller one to match as well.. adorable!
I love limonium as it dries looking nearly the same as it does fresh!
I used a small amt of chicken wire ( no floral foam of course) and no water for this one.
IT can be enjoyed dried indefinitely :)

For me, it is definitely a case of the more engaged I am in work that I love, the faster time is flying.. It must be all that Mindful Creativity!

OK Friends, I think it’s time we have the conversation…

Yes of course, everyone appreciates a gesture from their beloved on Valentine’s Day, or from anyone who loves you for that matter…

But when it comes to Valentine’s Day Flowers, I personally would rather they be ones that I adore or none at all. 😬🙈🤷‍♀️

Call me a big meanie, or a flower snob, but fresh flowers are perishable.. so let’s face it… they are only really “worth” it.. when they ARE REALLY WORTH IT!! Am I right?! 👏🌸💕

This year, we’re decided to create the flowers WE REALLY WANT… not just what is traditionally on offer.

We’re throwing caution to the wind and choosing quality, style and design over the status quo.

We’ve carefully curated some of our favourite blooms and arranged them into a soft, fresh and elegant palette of vintage rose, mauve, raspberry, nudes, blushes and whites.

Working with the flowers I love and creating stunning designs is what makes my heart sing, and I’m banking this years design will make yours sing as well.

Whether you’ll be wanting to give a little love or receive a little, just know we’ve created this years luxurious design with one purpose in mind, to take your breath away.

Congratulations to all the newly engaged couples out there and to all of you ready to start planning your big day! 🥂

Creating our brand of magic is all in the details.

Your wedding day is a celebration of your love that promises to be one of the most special and important days of your life.

Your wedding flowers will set the mood and tone for your day. We want them to be awe inspiring, memorable and a reflection of your own personal style and taste as a couple.

As a boutique design studio we offer a very personalised experience and therefore only take on a handful of weddings each season.

Our design process begins many months before your wedding.
One of the first and most important aspects of our process is to get to know as many details as we can.
We’ll ask questions like;
What is the overall look and feel you are going for/ what is your vision? How would you describe your personal styles? Where is the venue? What is the size/ scope of floor plan/ view for ceremony and reception? What style is your wedding dress? How many are in your wedding party and what are they wearing? What is the itinerary (is it one day over over multiple days?) Do you have a favourite flower/ colour, or one that is sentimental that you would like to include?

And this is just the beginning! There are lots more questions we will need answers to along the way, either directly from you, your planner or the venue. Only once we have a full picture we can start to make make design specific decisions around flowers, mechanics, logistics etc.

Creating the magic always starts with the details 😉🌸🪄

Send us a DM or email [email protected] if you would like us to create your dream flowers while we still have some dates available in 2024.

02/01/2024

Hello Autumn, you vibrant beauty... I’ve been waiting for you! 👏🍂🍁 Check out this weeks bold palette, from Burgundy to blue, pink, orange, yellow, and green ❤️ Happy September 1st everyone! 😉

As we near the end of the summer season and prepare to welcome autumn, it’s the perfect time to do a little smudging. Smudging or sage burning is an ancient practice used to cleanse mind body and spirit by burning herbs known for their medicinal properties. The “cleansing” comes from the smoke that is emitted once your smudge stick is lit. We’ve hand dried the herbs and flowers that make up our sticks and have included the following: Sage to purify Rosemary for mental stimulation Eucalyptus to bring a sense of calm and wellbeing Lavender for restfulness Rose which is often burned in rituals for love and luck. Smudging is often done to mark new beginnings, ward off negativity, to cleanse a person or space after illness and anytime you’d like to bring a sense of peace and calm. We smudge our studio every day, and it smells Divine! They are available in our Webshop and also with our friends @cinnamoncottage and Menloe Stores**video fun with @iwona_and_emily *** Loose leaf tea from @hayleypowerwellness Handmade porcelain mug from @kate_mcguane_ceramics Both available in our Webshop #corkflorist #theflowersmithstudio #irishflorist #smudge #smudgestick #sageburning #herbalhealing #sage #rosemary #eucalyptus #rose #openyourchakras #findyourchi #relax #mindfulness #changeofseasons

Irish Artisan Floral Designs

We believe flowers should be free to do what they do best, take your breath away and spark joy in your heart. Our own whimsical, free-form signature style is designed to do just that. The beauty of each flower takes centre stage, and somehow manages to be laid back, dramatic, sophisticated and elegant all at the same time. You won’t find the standard run of the mill, round, flat-topped style you see everywhere else here....We’re writing our own rules and rule #1 is There Are NO Rules!

Every week after searching near and far to find the most beautiful seasonal flowers and foliage available, we create a fresh, new and unique design in a variety of sizes for you. While we cannot therefore promise a specific colour or type of flower in advance for your order, we can guarantee it will be fresh, beautiful and in our signature style.

Our regularly evolving collection of artisan wreaths and arrangements are inspired by the same love of nature and are made to order.

We source our flowers and foliage locally wherever possible and are committed to limiting waste from our packaging by using recyclable materials as much as we can. Our bouquets are wrapped in burlap and our petite bouquets and bunches in recyclable brown paper and twine. We are committed finding ways to do better all the time, even when it costs us a little more.

As a self-funded start-up, we are growing all the time and working hard to improve. We have some exciting developments in the pipeline we can’t wait to share, the first of which will be our website, currently under construction but once completed will offer nationwide delivery!

For now, Orders can be placed in our FB shop or on 0858566051 with local delivery and collection options available.
