From “Don’t Buy Me Flowers” to Floral Designer - Meet Kirstie,

Floral designer, flower grower, proud mum and founder of Salt & Bloom Co.

Believe it or not, I used to tell my husband not to buy me flowers because they would just die.

Funny how life works.

During maternity leave, I started growing flowers at home and quickly became fascinated by the whole process, from planting and nurturing blooms to discovering the art of floral design. What began as a simple curiosity soon turned into a real passion.

When a local florist shared an opportunity to assist with wedding floristry, I jumped at the chance. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of learning alongside some incredibly talented florists and creating wedding flowers for wonderful couples.

In March 2026, I designed my first wedding for Megan and James, and it confirmed what I had already begun to feel.

This is exactly where I’m meant to be.

I love being part of such a meaningful day and creating flowers that help bring everything together in a way that feels warm, natural and full of life.

The Heart Behind Salt & Bloom Co

Weddings are about so much more than flowers.

They’re about the deep breaths before walking down the aisle, the happy tears, the laughter with your favourite people and the feeling of being completely present in one of the most important days of your life.

My role is to create wedding flowers that feel personal to you and fit naturally into the celebration.

Inspired by the relaxed beauty of the coast, I design florals that are soft, seasonal and thoughtfully put together, so you can enjoy your day knowing every detail is taken care of.
