A little more about Gina, in her own words....
As a child I have vivid memories of spending (what seems now) unlimited amounts of time wondering through my grandmothers garden admiring, picking, watering and playing with leaves & flowers. The feeling that is evoked in me when I smell flowers or the dampness and scent of water that fills the air from watering the garden after a hot summers day sends me straight back there. The joy I felt when I would gift a small bouquet of the days pickings to my grandmother and the satisfaction of seeing them placed in her best crystal vase on the dining table.
It was only natural that after years of working in the corporate world I decided to change my direction come back to my grass roots. True to my roots in 2012 I finished my Floristry qualification that I began in 1999. I felt that finishing my Certificate IV in Floristry & Design was extremely important to offer my clients the best service, advice and knowledge of cut flowers including the understanding of the elements and principals of design.
My passion for interior design and ability to keep an eye on ever changing fashion trends enables my Floral Designs to be current, bright, and "in season". Architecture, fashion and interior design influence my modern and sometimes rustic style and non-traditional approach to flower arranging and design.
I am fortunate enough to have been trained by some of Australia’s highly respected and talented florists, teachers and mentors.
I have a keen eye for what’s on trend and have an intuitive ability to evoke my clients’ needs and desires and translate them into a floral reality.
I love to use beautiful seasonal flowers to create designs to inspire and excite. I believe no idea is unachievable and will work closely with you to ensure your flowers exceed your expectations.
One of the highlights of my career so far was when I achieved FIRST place in the prestigious 'Window display competition' at the 2017 Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show.
I credit my attendance at the Singapore Flower and Garden Show in 2014, where I was given the privilege and opportunity to meet and assist (only in a small way) Floral Designer Rock Royalty with their “Windows to the world” Floral Design competition displays, sit in many demonstrations and even help.
“Kiki Floral, Flowers for Love, Design and Style”, specialises solely in weddings and events servicing the Mornington Peninsula region right through to the Melbourne CBD.
