Oh Flora Retreat 2023 | Byron Bay

We are celebrating our 5th Oh Flora Retreat with an inside look at the 2023 Byron Bay Oh Flora Retreat hosted at The Bower.

Attendees came from all over Australia, New Zealand and the US. to immerse themselves in 4 days of creativity, nature and a joint love of flowers… and arranging them!

Poppy and Fern kindly allowed open access to her flower farm where attendees learnt about the different varieties grown on the property on our own private tour and then were let loose to harvest their own blooms for their designs. The rest of our floral product was sourced locally from nearby farms

Over our days together, attendees created bountiful and lush bridal bouquets and centrepieces with instruction from Tanya and the team. We dove deep into discussions on small business, creating and growing a career as a professional floral and event designer - covering topics of pricing, proposals, client communications and all the things in between.

On our final night together, we created an abundant floral foam-free hanging installation and dreamy, detail filled tablescape to enjoy and dine together.
