Tell me a little about you, your business, and the style of florals you love to create.
Hey there, I'm Rachael, and I'm the proud owner of Botanica Bird! Originally, we started off as wedding florists, but we've now shifted our focus to corporate events and retail. We absolutely love to mix and match flowers that you wouldn't typically expect to see together. By doing so, we create an atmosphere that's eclectic and utopian all at once.
How did you find out about the Flower Towers and what were your initial thoughts?
Lucky me, I live in the same city as my flower bestie Ash from Film & Foliage/Wildflower Academy! I've had the pleasure of witnessing the incredible flower towers in action for years now, and I'm so happy that Ash has made them available to all florists.
These bad boys are true lifesavers and time savers so if you want to work smarter, not harder, the Flower Towers are an absolute must-have!
What challenges were you facing with your floral installations prior to getting the Flower Towers?
Before the Flower Towers came along we were always searching for sturdy structures, multi-dimensional frames and something that could work indoors and outdoors for foam-free floral Installations, it was so difficult!
And let's not forget the excessive amount of cable ties we used to go through. Ugh, the struggle was real! It was the only single-use plastic we just couldn't seem to eliminate from our services. But now, with the Flower Towers, we're living our best, eco-friendly lives and creating stunning arrangements that are also good for the planet.
How has your experience been creating installations since owning the Flower Towers?
The flower towers have completely stolen our hearts! They've taken a massive mental load off our shoulders when it comes to event planning. We can pack them up, create with them, transport them, store them, and reuse them with absolute ease. Our go-to range is the "adjustable" set - we're talking four sets strong, and we could easily do with more. We use them for everything under the sun - from stunning backdrops (including ground installations) to elaborate table ends, and even hanging installations.
What’s your favourite feature of the Towers?
Two features of the flower towers that we're absolutely obsessed with.
Firstly, the adjustable heights - we can make these bad boys as tall or as short as we need, depending on the design. So versatile!
And secondly, can we please give a round of applause for the sustainability factor - no more pesky cable ties! We're all about being eco-friendly and doing our part for the planet, so this is a massive win in our books
Any final thoughts or comments about the Flower Towers and how they have changed the way you flower?
