Fresh & Dried florals
Dried Flowers
Oooh! I do love fresh
I could make fresh flower bouquets all day long! Honestly, it's my favourite thing to do!
My design style is open, flowing and textural, using beautiful seasonal blooms from my local Raglan growers during the Spring-Autumn season and New Zealand wholesalers during the winter months. I love to add to my designs "a little bit of wild" through vines, twigs, and anything with a curl.

Flower Club
Welcome to the Wild About Eve Flower Club.
Enjoy — or gift — a regular delivery of hand-tied seasonal flowers. Each bouquet is thoughtfully chosen and designed using the best blooms of the moment.
You choose the frequency, and I curate the flowers. Every arrangement is carefully wrapped and delivered directly to your door.
Local members receive their bouquets beautifully paper-wrapped, while deliveries further afield are carefully boxed for travel.

"A girl friend once anonymously subscribed me to a year of a home décor magazine. Month after month in my letterbox there was another issue. I loved it! I would set it aside until I had time, then I’d sit with a coffee and devour the glossy pages of beautiful homes. It wasn’t until near the end of the year that I figured out who had given me this exciting and ongoing gift.
I'm so excited about the Flower Club. I imagine your excitement! The courier turning up, the anticipation of what the flowers may be, and the joy and beauty these will add to the windowsill, entrance table, coffee table, or wherever the favourite spot. I choose and arrange seasonal florals and greenery. You choose how often. It works just like the magazine subscription my girl friend gifted me. "

Dried Flower Wreaths
These beautiful wreaths are created using naturally dried flowers and foliage, selected for their long-lasting colour and distinctive textures. Each piece is designed either on a base formed from roots washed up along the beaches of Raglan, or for full coverage wreaths, a metal ring..
"On sunny days I often spend hours with my toes in the sand, gathering and shaping these weathered roots into wreath bases. I love transforming what might otherwise be considered beach “treasure” scattered along our rugged Raglan coast into something quietly beautiful."
Each wreath is entirely unique. Some feel a little wild and expressive, others softer and more refined — all created in a range of sizes and styles. Whether you’re drawn to something a little untamed or something more delicate and pretty, I’ll create a piece that feels just right for you.

Care of your dried flowers
• Lifetime 1-2+ years
• Display indoors
If you choose to display outdoors, make sure it is sheltered and undercover – bring inside during harsh weather conditions
• Keep away from moisture
• Do not expose to direct sunlight
• Spray occasionally with hairspray. This acts as a gentle 'glue', helping to keep the design together
• Remove dust with hairdryer on cool gentle speed
• Avoid crushing - the flowers and foliage are fragile
Taking these steps can keep your dried flowers looking beautiful for as long as possible. As these designs are created using natural product, their lifetime is not as long as those that are made with product that have been chemically treated through the use of preserves and dyes
– natural fading, shrink back, and dried flower dust drop is to be expected
