Today an unjust ruling was passed down to Tanya Day's grieving family members. There is no peace or comfort I can offer except to show one tulip leaning on another for support and hope we can learn by example from the flowers. 🖤💛❤

Thank you so much for the meaningful and kindest interview Sandra from LSMM Kinfolk. I love any opportunity to chat about flowers and am so grateful to be part of the sustainable wedding community 💚

Images by Stories by Ash   Today we interview one of our Eco-Wedding experts – Annie from Branch & Sea, an Eco-Florist based in Brisbane. Annie studied environmental management and worked in the photography field for many years, and now has steered these skill sets into sustainable floral design....

Sami asked to have dried Billy Buttons that Angus had gifted her on one of their earliest dates six years ago woven into her wedding bouquet. Special requests like this are always a yes from me 🧡

Heart warming hues are the best. I appreciate so much that all of the beautiful couples I get to work with truly love colour as much as I do. Designing floral colour palettes for couples is a special part of my job that I love!

I've had some really beautiful conversations lately about our flowers and where they are sourced from. For Branch and Sea it is fundamental to source Australian and locally grown blooms to protect people and our planet.
So I thought I might share those thoughts to the journal on my website, link in the bio. This conversation is open for discussion so feel free to ask questions or rage at the world, all thoughts are welcome!

We need to talk about systemic racism within the Australian flower industry.
We need to talk about change.
Inspired by leading the way.

Yesterday I shared a muted post to show support for BIPOC communities. The post was to pause my own content, which I did not clarify or post any supportive content for BIPOC communities. Learning overnight how unhelpful it was for me to do this I am re-posting now to be a voice in my very white privileged floral community here in Australia. I understand that I will never understand, however I stand.

Art is such a powerful force to bring recognition to the painful past and continued realities of racism not only around the world but in our own country. I wanted to share the work of artist, Vernon Ah Kee, with his video installation, tall man, 2010. I remember the first time I watched the 11 min loop at MCA Sydney and feeling sick in my stomach that my privilege separated me from ever having to know first-hand the racism and wrongful deaths of First Nations people of Australia. Continual learning and unlearning to be a better business owner and human in general. 🖤💛❤
