" I don't think I'll ever get tired of Icelandic poppies! The crazy wayward flower that is such a bright delight when they open.
Announcing our very first annual - The Flora Journal.
A collection of beautiful seasonal flora work created for events, weddings and gatherings both large and small. A collaboration between Together Journal and our creative contributors. This is the second flora book our Editor Greta Kenyon has worked on. This book is designed to guide you through the months and seasons so you know what is available and when, it will inspire you for your event, gathering or wedding (or maybe even just for your home) and it will introduce you to some of our favourite floral artists and talented creative's. Available in 2017.
All orders between now and Christmas will receive one of our limited edition ‘Dried Beauty’ photographic art prints (a MarkAntonia & Together Journal collaboration) and a George & Edi tea light candle set. See below…

Gracie & Cameron's wedding flower palette was gorgeous! As well as the plums, blush and soft pink we had the beautiful red charm peony which took the palette to the next level.
What drew you to floristry and how did you get started in the industry?
My love of flowers started in my childhood. Our home was set among 28 acres of Australian bushland. My mother would walk with me and my sisters through the garden and bush, pointing out plants and blooms, calling them by their botanical and common names. After four years working in New York, Australia called me home, and unsure which direction to take, I joined my sister Ineke on a floristry course and quickly realised I’d found my calling.
‘I cannot do without flowers. Their ability to convey emotions, evoke memories, change our mood and transform a bare room into a place of great beauty never ceases to amaze me. They are my muse, my passion, my world’—Saskia Havekes, Grandiflora
Peonies are Beyond!! They are actually mental - once they are fully blown with all their ruffled pillow like petals I am reminded why I love them so much.
Our first October wedding brought our first delivery of Springs finest -a box full of huge Icelandic poppies, anemones and long white sweet peas.
For Katherine & Alex we took colour inspiration from Katherine's bridesmaid dresses - sage, plum and burnt orange.
"Springs arrived and after a long cold winter there is nothing that warms the soul more than bright, cheerful spring blooms.
Daffodils, Earlicheer, Iceland Poppies, Wild plum blossoms and garden picked Hellebores, signal the beginning of longer, warmer days ahead."
