I'm Chelsea, the founder of Fika Florals. After working in the fashion industry dealing with spreadsheets and numbers I craved getting back to what I love, which was design. I took the career plunge and trained to be a florist, and Fika Florals was founded in 2019. Pulling from my Swedish ancestry Fika is an important part of Swedish culture based upon gathering with family & friends to take a moment to catch up, slow down and be in the moment.
I wanted to channel this celebration of heritage, appreciation of life, & coming together in what I do within floristry as flowers are a symbol of good news, of love, & of a life well-lived. Fika Florals, specialises in flowering weddings, & events, helping you to celebrate those special moments!
My Passion for Weddings & Events
Before stepping into the floristry industry, I worked in the fashion industry, focusing on buying & product development for women-led fashion companies such as DeMellier & Sweaty Betty. Growing up, I was always creating and making things with my hands. I felt that disconnect with my work buried in spreadsheets and emails. When I first ventured into floristry, I picked up the scissors and started creating.
That's when I had that feeling of purpose and expression and I've never looked back. Flowers are my medium when it comes to art. Working with colour, form and texture, I create our signature contemporary styles, perfect for your wedding or event. I enjoy getting to know my clients in the design process so I can better understand their needs and deliver a unique design brief that truly aligns with their vision. We cannot wait to work with you!
