Hi, I'm Bethany! Click here to learn more about me and the Floral Eden team! My love of love is what inspires me to be part of the Wedding Industry. I get to be part of piecing together memories that will stay with our couples for a lifetime by decorating their day and photos with exquisite blooms. I started Floral Eden at the beginning of 2019 with the dream of running my own little business along side my Mother's floristry business. My Mum, Vanessa, has been a florist since she was 15 years old and has raised me to have a lifelong love and respect for flowers. We came to a decision late 2018 to hand over the weddings and events to me under the name Floral Eden, whilst Vanessa continued to run her well established and successful business Flower Cottage of Adelaide Hills. Together we work side by side; during the week we create beautiful gift bouquets and deliver them all around the Adelaide Hills, and on weekends we work together to create and set up wedding flowers for our beautiful clients. Floral Eden has quickly become bigger than I ever expected and I absolutely love that I get to do my dream job! |

Where it all began
I’ve grown up in florist shops my whole life. My mother, Vanessa has been a florist since she was 15, and raised me and my siblings surrounded by flowers. I started ‘helping’ Vanessa in her shop when I was very young. Now that I look back I’m sure I was a more of a nuisance than I was a help, but surely it all contributed to where I am now! I found my true love of weddings in my early teens when Vanessa would ask me to come and help her with set ups. We would travel to the venues together and I would follow her around with a dustpan and broom, cleaning up the inevitable mess that comes with floristry! I eventually got more confident in my own skills and started Tafe straight after I left high school to gain my qualification. |

Over the past few years Vanessa and I have worked together in her business (Flower Cottage of Adelaide Hills) and I also worked at a contemporary florist in Adelaide, but have always dreamed of perusing my passion of Wedding and Event Floristry.
Floral Eden took of faster than I expected and I am so proud of how far we have come in the past 2.5 years of operating.
In 2019 we completed 20 weddings under the name (and several others under the Flower Cottage brand) and in 2020 we completed 41 weddings and are close to 100 bookings for 2021. We are currently taking bookings for 2022 and 2023
