Hi, I’m Cynthia
I am the woman behind Blossom and Blaze. I have two amazing kids and a wonderful partner who support and encourage me to follow my heart. I love all things floral including beautiful fabrics, homewares, and of course, stunning blooms themselves.
I was the child who brought teachers flower posies each week...
I fell in love with blooms long ago. I grew up surrounded by flowers and creativity. My dad was an avid gardener, creating magical outdoor spaces, while my mum gathered flowers to make gorgeous arrangements for our home. Flowers have always been an important part of my life. And, with my background in visual arts, drama and fabrics, I use colour in an intuitive way to guide my creative process.
I adore the way flowers enrich our lives, they can speak any language and portray every emotion. I believe flowers are good for the soul. Flowers can delight, enchant & captivate. They celebrate with us and comfort us when we have lost. They can embrace us and create a sanctuary and bring a smile to our face.
And for these reasons, flowers are an integral part of any special occasion.
My love of wildly beautiful blooms, and my passion for embracing the moods, colours and textures of the seasons is the inspiration behind my floral designs.
While some floral pieces are wistful, some romantic, some dazzling and bright, all celebrate brilliant abundance and are designed thoughtfully to delight the soul.
We all need some beauties in our lives, and I believe you need a few hero blooms in each design. The ones who grab your attention and who are not afraid to stand out. And, I welcome the twirling stems and those who seem to dance in the breeze.
I adore the little details, the gorgeousness of flowing ribbons, candles, floral place settings, poetic floral tattoos...to make each occasion truly special. Telling a story with flowers is an obsession of mine, setting a scene that creates a backdrop for memories and moments to cherish.
I strive to craft personalised florals that exude passion, personality and your story. I would love to work with you to bring your floral vision to reality.
Get in touch to chat about your personal florals and how we can create a little floral magic for you.
I believe in honouring the natural world that inspires us.
Sustainability is at the heart of everything I do, guiding my choices as I create thoughtful designs. I embrace the ebb and flow of the seasons, working with locally sourced flowers and foliage that reflect nature’s rhythm. By choosing blooms grown close to home, I reduce my environmental impact while supporting local farmers and celebrating the abundance of our surroundings. My commitment to sustainability extends to every detail—while the nature of my designs at times requires wire, by avoiding floral foam, reusing and upcycling, minimizing waste, and reimagining traditional practices I try to tread lightly on the earth. With me, you can feel good about enjoying floral beauty that is kind to the planet and delightful to the eye.
Whether you’re seeking an enchanting wearable floral design, a breathtaking bridal bouquet, or blooming installations to elevate your event, I look forward to weaving some floral magic into your world.
Blossoms & Hugs,
Cynthia
