Flowers have been used in many cultures across the world to convey messages and to pass down stories and legends from generation to generation.

During the Victorian Era, flowers were used to communicate secret messages. A language of flowers was recorded, where each flower was assigned a particular meaning or message. In Japan, Hanakotobo is the ancient art of assigning meaning to flowers.

Just like a word, the meaning of a flower can change over time, and the language varies between cultures and people. Some flowers have multiple meanings.

What does this mean today in a modern era where stories are shared via Instagram, podcasts and TikTok? Well, it means we have another way of telling a story – with flowers!

You tell me a story and I’ll research the individual meanings of each flower and put together a bouquet of flowers that capture your story.

I hope you enjoy the experience of hearing and seeing your story through flowers.

Best wishes,
