Hi, I’m Elysia!
I’m the Owner and Creative Director of Maple and Wren.
I’m two parts creativity, one part process driven, garnished with a heavy grating of enthusiasm (and I’m #notsorry).
This time 7 years ago, I was not a florist. Far from it. I worked for State Government as a large scale event manager in a strict and very bureaucratic role. Don’t recommend.
I had decided to start a side hustle in event planning and styling and Maple and Wren was born. I have always been a creative person and I’m blessed to come from a long line of creative women – painters, singers, sewers, musicians.
I’ve been where you are, not knowing where to start and I learnt a lot the hard way by not knowing who I could even ask the questions that I had.
And that’s where the Floral Art Academy comes in; it exists to redefine luxury floral design, to break down the process and logistics of working as a wedding and event florist and to have a whole lot of fun along the way!
I can’t wait to see you truly bloom with us!
