Introducing YUZU.

Introducing YUZU.

by Brooke Down in The Journal

As the latest addition to The Flower Bar Co family, the YUZU Collection celebrates a striking yet soothing colour palette that ushers in the beauty of a new season.

The basics

Featuring crunchy, fresh blooms in delicious hues of lemon, lime, melon and blue – YUZU will take your breath away with its citrus-inspired shades and sophisticated composition. Allow yourself to be whisked away to another time and place with every interaction. Zesty yet calming, playful but refined – YUZU is set to impress and inspire anyone lucky enough to receive her.

A point of difference

Highly textural and generous in size thanks to layers and elements of integrated foliage, YUZU differentiates itself from our existing creations through its unique colourways and versatility. The use of blue and green – two of the most-loved floral colours throughout the world, creates a sense of calm, peace, and harmony. What’s especially lovely about the blue florals featured throughout each YUZU creation is how rare blue flowers actually are. Not only do they help to convey a message of love, they help inspire a contemplative mood. Think slow moments and deep appreciation. Whether gifted as part of a celebration, as a heartfelt thank-you, a birthday or anniversary, or simply a gesture that says, ‘thinking of you’, YUZU has been created to bring joy to any moment.

Local love

Like all of our designs, each YUZU creation incorporates a number of flowers from local growers into each bouquet. Based on seasonal availabilities, YUZU currently includes locally grown amaranthus, dahlia, zinnia, chamomile daisy, delphinium and queen anne’s lace. Importantly, thanks to our local growers across the east coast of Australia, we’re able to offer those harder-to-source booms each day – including our ever-popular blue toned flowers.

Fabulous florals

Wondering what kinds of foliage you may find in your hand-crafted YUZU bouquet? We use a range of foliage, which depending on the season, and subject to availability, may include olive, viburnum snowball, camelia, rose foliage, pittosporum, amaranthus, dogwood, blossom, and golden rod. We combine these with a carefully curated selection of showstopping florals including calla lily, arum lily, anthurium, cymbidium, slipper and phal orchids, hydrangea, dahlia, sim carnation, rose, disbud, dancing lady orchid, water lily, tulip, delphinium, daffodil, poppies, yellow bell, pincushion, chamomile, snap dragon, gerbera, zinnia, hellebore, snowball, banksia and zinnia.

What’s in a name?

One of our favourite parts about designing new floral creations is imagining the perfect name to go alongside each one. A name that captures the essence of our designs and embodies the soul of the varying elements in each arrangement. YUZU speaks to exotic citrus. To zest and fun, and all that lies in between.

We hope you love her as much as we do.

A new space to call our own

A new space to call our own

Lose yourself amongst the flowers, artistry, and design of our newest home, located in the beautiful coastal suburb of Currumbin on the Gold Coast. Nestled within The Warehouses, a new and unforgettable urban hub, our space is dedicated to community, connection, and the power of bold design. While we will continue to lovingly create and share floral art from our flagship Bangalow boutique – we feel there’s something truly special about our new location – and here’s why. As we’ve grown and evolved, having a second space from which to create and serve our community has been increasingly important to us. This feels especially true as we’ve met and connected with so many amazing customers on the Gold Coast in the last few years.   If you’ve been lucky enough to already visit our new Currumbin location, you would have experienced our flower bar filled with unique and premium flowers, as well as our curated collection of locally made ceramics and homewares. What makes this space different however, is the way it has enabled us to create one-of-a-kind floristry experiences for our customers.   When we first found the space, it was a blank canvas – an opportunity for us to apply our creativity and design thinking to a new environment. We decided to make the most of the light-filled arcade, atrium gardens, and beautiful architecture by immersing our blooms into the space. Stunning bouquets and unique creations grace each wall, while our sleek, contemporary, and practical fit-out makes it easier than ever before to lose yourself in moments of joy and reflection. We’ve also created a dedicated space for creative consultation appointments, allowing you to truly immerse yourself in our world. To bring the space to life, we commissioned a large-scale sculpture inspired by the bearded iris. Crafted by fellow florist friend and sculptor Parthenopi, the breathtaking piece aptly named ‘IRIS’ pays tribute to a signature yet  fleeting bloom and its lavishly ruffled form. Thank you for joining us on this new adventure. We are so excited to share our signature floral art that our Byron Bay customers have come to know and love across the Gold Coast.   With love, Brooke and The Flower Bar Co team x

Local Loves: VRG GRL x TFBC

Local Loves: VRG GRL x TFBC

Local Loves Meet Brooke, the visionary behind The Flower Bar Co., and leader in the Northern Rivers floristry landscape. We take a look back at a collab, where VRG GRL IRL (in real life) took over the Flower Bar Co.'s floral wrap for a weekend, our CEO, Brooke Down, sat down with VRG GRL to discuss her story behind the making of The Flower Bar Co, as an iconic Australian brand. Q & A with VRG GRL & Brooke Down Q: What inspired you to become a florist? Can you share the origin of The Flower Bar Co.?  A: The beauty of it all! I am incredibly energised by working with nature, it really is a dream to be surrounded by flowers every day. I am constantly inspired by the ever-changing beauty of flowers, the seasonality and evolution of mother nature; the waxing and waning of different flower varieties through the seasons is immensely beautiful and absolutely awe inspiring. Our brand was born by a desire to showcase this beauty. We wanted to bring together the best elements of contemporary floral design and the abundance and beauty of mother nature in a marriage that would really do justice to our craft. We’ve managed to achieve this in our beautiful Victorian era heritage listed bank building here in Bangalow.    Q: When you aren’t in the studio, how do you like to spend your time?    A: I love spending as much time as I can with my beautiful family and friends on the weekends. I’m design obsessed, so I spend a lot of time in nature and with my head in books and magazines for inspiration. I also practice yoga and attend pilates a couple of times each week for balance.   Q: What keeps you motivated as a business owner? A: Goals! I always have goals - both near term and long term. As a business owner you’re always getting roped into the “urgent” things, but I try to also focus on the “important” things (i.e. the bigger picture). As we’ve grown, I’ve been able to spend more time on the bigger picture and future growth and that’s super motivating. We are also big on celebrating our wins here at TFBC and foster a really happy, positive culture within the team which keeps us all motivated and inspired. Q: As The Flower Bar Co. continues to go from strength to strength, are there any exciting plans in the works? A: Yes! Growth! Gold Coast here we come! We can’t share too much just yet but GC we are headed for you!   Q: The Flower Bar Co. is based in the cool and quaint town of Bangalow - what are your favourite things to see and do in the area?  A: Having a wine with the girls at You Beauty would have to be up there! It’s a beautiful little wine bar just down the street from us. It’s also hard to beat a dumpling date with my daughter at Red Ginger, and of course we love to watch the ocean and the rolling green hills of the hinterland - there are many vantage points around Bangalow, Coorabell and Coopers Shoot that we cherish.   Q: How would you describe your personal fashion style?  A: I would describe my fashion style as understated, simplistic, effortless. Dressing for a day immersed in flowers for me looks like a pair of tailored or vintage jeans, paired with usually a white or black tee, and a simple pearl or gold hoop earring. Outside of the studio I can be less practical, and this is where I introduce colour and different fabrics. I have learnt the hard way not to wear pieces I love to work! It’s a messy job behind the scenes!   Q: What does a collaboration with VRG GRL mean to you? A: Flowers and fashion both appeal to people who have a passion for beauty on a foundational level. We’re speaking the same language and celebrating creativity and beauty through different mediums. We’re both Australian brands led by women passionate about our customers and their experiences with our products, so it’s super exciting to be collaborating with this iconic brand.   Q: What’s your most popular floral arrangement and why?  A: Our SOIREE design is our most popular design by far! She’s vivacious, bright and playful and this is really what our clients are drawn to time and time again, and recipient’s lucky enough to receive her are always blown away by the colour composition and unique varieties used in the design. SOIRÉE. was inspired by crisp pink-edged sunrises; long summer afternoons and balmy evenings, spent with friends in the glow of a still sunset. It’s no wonder it’s a crowd pleaser.
