Today we are going to introduce to Sandy from Blumin. With a fabulous name like that there’s little need to tell you the business she runs!

‘Blumin’s focus is to provide pesticide-free flower & herb designs, picked straight from the garden to you.  The makings of each arrangement is selected, hand-picked and carefully combined.  And each has a fragrance that lifts your spirits and fills your senses with “real” flowers and herbs with true & beautiful scents. Breathe the perfume in and almost involuntarily your reaction will be “aaahhhhhhh beautiful”……..

Our arrangements, the makings of which sourced from the rich soils of Daylesford and surrounding Macedon Ranges region, take on the colours and textures of each season’s best offerings.  Of course, in summer roses feature.  But depending on theme and style requirements and the season, you may find the likes of kale, wild strawberries, poppy-seed heads and chestnuts and herbs such as angelica in your bouquet.

Blumin has now been involved with many weddings, supplying simple bouquets of white roses as well as more “decorative” and complex arrangements including, wired diamantes, tulips, peonies and the like. Today’s Brides are more and more planning weddings which are “Green”. Whether it is sourcing local products and services or using vintage or recycled items, today’s bridal couple is eco-conscious.’
