Our Story

We’re a family-run, studio-based florist in the heart of St Osyth with a deep-rooted love for flowers, design, and all things beautiful.

Our story began over 25 years ago when our mum, Jill, opened her first flower shop — guided by her training at the Queen’s Florist and a natural talent for classic floristry. Jill built her business on quality, heart, and hard work, and she remains the steady rock of our business today.

Now, the next generation has taken the reins. Daughters Carissa and Karina proudly continue what Mum started, blending tradition with fresh creativity.

Karina, our Head Floral Designer, began her journey at just 14, learning the craft directly from Jill. Her passion for floristry is unmatched, and she’s known for her ability to create beautifully expressive, thoughtful arrangements that feel both personal and artful.

Carissa, our in-house Stylist, has an eye for transforming simple spaces into stunning settings. Whether it’s a wedding, event, or styled shoot, she brings design expertise that elevates every floral moment. She is also our lead resin designer, specialising in preserving flowers in stunning resin keepsakes.

Together, we create bespoke floral designs for weddings, events, farewells, and everyday beauty — each piece crafted with care, creativity, and a little bit of family magic.
