Never stop chasing your dream, to make it your reality. I know it sounds cliche, but cliches are truth!

A little back story on me and how I got here! I’ve always been creative- growing up in dance. Opting for an office job was not an option! I completed TAFE cert III in floristry back in 2018-19 after leaving school. I’ve always had such a passion for flowers and nature, growing up gardening, and going on bush walks. Finding flowers in the wild is like a treasure hunt! Aussie natives have my heart. 🥰

I started selling my flowers after the tafe week to friends and family to help pay my way. It then naturally turned into them asking for flowers for events/ weddings ect. I could run wild with my creativity, and that’s how the business was born.

I’ve worked in cafe jobs part time, cleaned houses, worked in other local florists all at once - all whilst creating my dream from scratch on the side, all hours of the day. Some days been over 12hrs + long. I’ve been through all the years of lockdowns, saying yes to everything and anything, and working for nothing. Learning business, and doing all aspects of the business via research + time (admin, deliveries, flower pick up’s, creating, accounting, social media, website ect) 😅

Preservation came about after I flowered my brother’s wedding, not wanting the arbour to go to waste I experimented with the flowers and created my first pressed piece back in 2021, as a surprise gift. After a few more weddings I flowered, preserving their bouquets as well- that’s when I fell into my calling. A preservation artist. 🥰 Many years of trial and error, here we are! 🕺

I’ve had so many people tell me that I could never make this my full time reality - ‘there’s no money in flowers, just get a full time job like everyone else’. Giving up never felt like an option.💥 After 8, and a bit long years, I quit my cafe job in Feb 2025 and haven’t looked back since! This is now my full time reality and I’m so beyond blessed.

- Keely Xx

Some flowers become more than flowers. They become reminders of a person, a moment, a love that changed us. But flowers, like moments, are fleeting. That’s why I do what I do. Preserved with care, so the memories they hold can stay close for a lifetime. 🧡 Florpetalflorist.com #flowerpreservation #flowerkeepsake #memorialflowers #memorialflowerpreservation #gerbra

❤️ In loving memory of Beryl & Barney. Some love stories never truly end 💫 It was such a privilege to bring Beryl and Barney together once more. Barney sadly passed away about 5 years ago, and at the time I carefully separated his memorial spray into posy boxes for the family to treasure and hold close. Earlier last year, Beryl went to be with her beloved Barney again. I had the honour of creating her memorial flowers too, and the family asked if there was a way I could somehow unite both of their flowers into one special piece — something that reflected their love, their life together, and the bond they never lost. 🌸 This piece is more than flowers. It’s a story of love, devotion, remembrance, and two souls finding each other again. Creating this for the family was truly an honour. Together again, where they were always meant to be. 🤍 Florpetalflorist.com Flower preservation, memorial piece, love story, family heirloom, keepsake

The ones that bring you right back to the feeling, the people, and the love years later. 💍 🪻Flowers by the talented @noahandthefox Learn more florpetalflorist.com Bouquet preservation, bridal keepsake, family heirloom

👋🏼 Let’s talk Mother’s Day flowers! As you know, I’m now primarily focusing on flower preservations frames. I’m so blessed to do what I do. I’ve been looking forward to this flower drop over the past few months, to get my hands on some fresh flowers again! 🥰 Mother’s Day will be my last flower drop until Dec, ready for Christmas.

Mother’s Day is more than just another day on the calendar. It can hold so many emotions, all at once 💕 For some, it’s filled with love and time spent with Mum. For others, it’s a quiet ache of missing her deeply. And for many, it can feel complicated… holding distance, or words left unsaid. Wherever this day finds you, your feelings are valid. Mother’s Day is this Sunday — a moment to honour love in all its forms. Say what words sometimes can’t 🌸 With flowers that speak of love, remembrance, and connection. Pre-orders are now open via the website, with limited availability. Seasonal, locally sourced mixed florals. Order early to ensure your flowers are there when they matter most. With love, Keely xx Florpetalflorist.com (link in bio) #mothersday #mothersdayflowers #freshflowers

How iconic is Theo & Abbie’s ‘handbag’ bouquet and matching buttonhole? 👜✨ Not your typical florals… and honestly, why would you want typical? 😍 Their flowers arrived last minute and not at their best — but with a few swaps from their spares, and some creative magic, they turned into something seriously unforgettable. Proof that even “almost gone” can still become forever-worthy. 💛 A statement piece you don’t just carry for a day… you keep it for life.

🌹Let’s talk reflexed roses. They are beautiful, striking, on trend, and make your roses look 10x bigger and fluffier for your special day. But here’s the kicker… If you are wanting to have your flowers preserved, reflexed roses are a NO GO! Here’s why: 🌹They loose hydration quicker, leaving me with a floppy, sad rose to work with. 🌹The technique bruises petals before they even go through your big day. 🌹They lose structure integrity and can fall apart very easily. By all means, if you would like reflexed roses for your day go for it! But please ask your florist to leave a few un-reflexed so they can be preserved beautifully for your forever keepsake 🤍 👉For more visit florpetalflorist.com #BridesBeware #WeddingFlowers #FlowerPreservation #BridalTips #reflexedroses
