About

Overview & Vibe

Karin is a qualified senior florist with roots in the Netherlands and more than a decade in floristry, working from a small shopfront in the Island Marketplace at Cowes. She describes her work as a mix of European technique and relaxed, natural styling, and she is unusually direct about what she is and is not: not the cheapest option, but present from the first conversation to the moment the flowers are in place.

Style & Signature Blooms

Natural and slightly unexpected. She says she can do classic and timeless but will always gently suggest something a little different alongside it. The portfolio leans heavily on Australian and South African natives - proteas, banksias, billy buttons - beside white garden work, and dried and preserved pieces with pampas and bleached grasses. Fresh, dried, preserved and artificial florals are all offered.

Ideal For

Couples marrying on Phillip Island and around the Bass Coast, at any scale. Elopements and micro weddings have their own package, and the stated position is that no wedding is too big or too small. Also worth knowing for anyone wanting flower crowns or a hen’s-day workshop as part of the weekend.

The Need-to-Knows

Enquiries go by email with the date, the location, a phone number and any inspiration images, and a detailed quote follows a conversation. Elopement and micro-wedding florals start at $300. Flower crowns are $85 for adults and $55 for children, each including a free consultation and a trial crown before the event. Corsages and buttonholes start at $20. The shop is closed Mondays and open Tuesday to Sunday 10am to 3pm, with phone and online orders Monday to Saturday.

Standout Feature

Two things stated plainly that most florists leave unsaid. The first is the pricing position: no surprises, and an upfront admission that this is not the budget option. The second is repurposing - she looks for ways to move flowers through the day so the same blooms work twice, framed as both a sustainability choice and a way to save the couple money.
