ABOUT ME

Hello, Iā€™m Caroline, the owner and senior florist at Pikt .

I have proudly and passionatley been in the floral industry for over 25 years as as a certified and trained professional floral designer.

I was born 39 years ago and lucky enough to be raised on a 17 acre farm in the Byron shire.

Our family farm is currently being transformed bit by bit into a flower farm, so I can supply this amazing community with fresh local grown blooms straight from my little tin shed studio. We also incorporate our florals into our weddings and events

Our Studio has been built from recycled materials off the farm. All of our work benches are built from the old property fences and tin. Its old and rustic and has lots of character.

Growing up my childhood was surrounded by all things beautiful, from Sunflowers sprouting in piles of manure to the forever flowering paddock's full of butterfly bush.

I had an obsession with flowers from a very young age. A lot of my inspiration came from my Grandmother and Nan, both amazing gardeners with magic green thumbs and blossoming rose gardens and vegetable patches as far as the eye could see.

The paddocks that roll through the hinterland of Byron are my playground. There was always inspiration blossoming, whether it was the golden rain trees or simply the colourful grasses on the side of the road.

My love of art was truly with me at an early age, some of my first ever memories are of drawing the flowers that I still adore and design with today.

I continued into the Floral world at the young age of 14 where I began working on my passion and worked toward becoming a floral designer.

My passion blossomed even further as I travelled and worked abroad for 5 years in Canada and New Zealand learning new designs and techniques.

Floristry still inspires me every day, I still get so excited about what I do, I find it hard to explain how much I truly adore this industry. 

My work is unique, my designs come from my worldly adventure's and each creation is inspired from the blooms I see daily.

I specialise in Floral design, having done thousands of Weddings and Events in this beautiful industry for over 2 decades.

I still love to drive the little hinterland roads and find myself lost amongst the shapes and shadows, the branches and berry's that over hang the roads enjoying my passion, knowing it is still strong and wild.

My love for nature will continue to pull me into the next forest or the next field of wild flowers.

Who knows what visual pleasures and designs I will create next. Every day is a new canvas waiting to be painted with the beauty that unfurls from the soil and makes its way into my hands.

 
 
 

you will find me, dirty hands and muddy boots amongst the garden beds, sewing seeds and planting the next piece to my collection.


 

Have a beautiful day, and don't forget to stop and smell the rose's.
