My sunshine mimosa wreaths are back and this year with a twist.
Pink and yellow is the most incredible colour combination and I wanted to bring these two beauties together this year for a special wreath.
Hand woven on a natural wreath base, these wreaths are created using fresh mimosa that will go on to dry over time intertwined with the most beautiful soft pink strawflowers. Your wreath will arrive with you part way through the drying process and over time will take soften from the vibrant yellow taking on a soft ochre hue. The pink strawflowers are completely dry and will keep their colour for many years to come.
A unique design that will bring a touch of spring into your home this season.
The full moon wreath measures 35-40cm at its widest point. And please note that it is natural and normal for mimosa to shed a few of its small yellow flowers during transit. This will not impact the design.
Wreaths will be shipped during the first two weeks of February.
This year I am so excited to be able to share the love with my mimosa with you.
For the first time I am selling bunches of this beautiful, uplifting flowers to fill your home with the heady scent and vibrant blooms.
These bunches will arrive with you fresh to place in vases throughout your house and will go on to dry over time, meaning they will give you months of happiness. Mimosa dries so well when placed in vases and it allows the natural shapes of the branches to stay true.
Please refer to the picture for a size guide.
These bunches will be shipped during the first two weeks of February.

Otherwise, if you’re happy to leave the selection to me, I will create from my imagination with the very best of the bounty that is currently hanging from my studio ceiling.
Built on a natural vine base, in my signature crescent moon shape. Frothy foliages and ethereal flowers will be woven together with structural seedheads to create a wreath to be hung on your wall. Bring nature in, soften spaces and lift dark corners.
