Fantastic experience: I spent a really enjoyable Sunday afternoon at the Petals & Prosecco event with Kelly from Hand Picked. It was a beautifully relaxed experience, with thoughtful guidance, lovely seasonal stems, and a great creative atmosphere.

You can sense the care and intention behind Kelly’s work and well worth experiencing if you’re after something a little different. Thanks Kelly

Fantastic experience: Would 100% recommend Hand-Picked Flower Company for weddings. We had our wedding at the end of September 2019 and I felt I would be a difficult customer for Kelly as I have very bad allergies to most things floral (but who doesn't want beautiful fresh flowers when they get married!). This was no problem for Kelly and she made the most BEAUTIFUL bouquet for me, my bridesmaids and flowers for the guys, dads, mums and nana. She is such a lovely person and just knows what you need. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: I saw Kellys creations at the BOP Wedding show earlier this year. I fell in love right away and had to have the same piece she had on display. I wasn't fussed on flowers at all - but SO glad we went with Kelly as it just finished off our head table perfectly. Communication was a breeze and best of all it was such a great price for flawless work! We got so many compliments on her work - it suited our theme to a tee.
