About Chel

I understand the difficulty and the confusion that comes with finding the right wedding flowers, I know! I've been there and know exactly how you feel!

I helped in the planning stages of my own daughter’s wedding, I was amazed by the lack of customisation and found most florists we visited only offered the usual traditional rose and gyp theme - nothing personalised or out of the ordinary!

My daughter wanted a Marvel Theme incorporated into her flowers, I swear the one florist nearly fainted when my daughter started to discuss her ideas.

Unfortunately, we left with such a bad experience, and no flowers ordered! It was heartbreaking to see my daughter deflated in what should have been an exciting time & experience.

I wouldn't want anybody to go through that unpleasant experience like we had to, so I have built my business to be customer focused, working with your ideas and strives to deliver a personalised experience, creating unique floral arrangements and products.

The world is changing and so are peoples tastes & new meaningful traditions are being created which I will gladly accommodate with my Floral Design Vibes; Big, Bold & Quirky, Just like me!

Easy 4 Step Process

1. Want your guests to say "This is so you"?

Make your wedding the "one to remember" by incorporating your personal vibes and taste through the media of flowers and decor.

Make it "your day your way" by including things that are meaningful to you both, (not because it's traditional or "the done thing to do").

BREAK THE RULES AND DO WHAT YOU WANT!

Stuck for ideas, think about what you both enjoy, what's your story?,

how do you want to express your love for each other?

Start with something that's meaningful to you; try to focus on the most important things and include those weird and random ideas to make a theme.

"We loved with a love that was more than love".

Edgar Allan Poe

First time dealing with flowers?

This maybe the first time you have encountered flowers or sought a florist;

You both might be feeling anxious and not know what to expect, majority of couples will be:

Stressed just by thinking about it
Overwhelmed by all the choices
Clueless about flower names, varieties
You don't know how much Wedding flowers cost and how to factor them into your wedding planning accordingly
Or perhaps you know exactly what you want, you just need a professional to execute your vision

You’re not alone, Don’t worry, I got you! I’ll break it down and explain a “step by step” approach and guide you through your options giving impartial advice that is best for both of you.

The way I break it down enables the whole process to become enjoyable and easy to understand, couples often find by going through this process, they are able to make decisions more easily

3. Have a crazy idea?

Then you need me! I'm full of crazy mad ideas.

At Chels Petals, no idea is "too outside the box". we believe we can create our own meaningful tradition and be able to say "We did it our way" at the end of the day.

Flowers and floral décor create events with memories that last forever.
Wow your guests with both beautiful and exciting decor that is meaningful to you both.
Today’s floral décor reflects our values, aspirations and who we really are!

Can't justify paying the price of fresh flowers? Then have a designed keepsake bouquet - choose from silk, dried, ribbon or paper flowers - be as quirky and random as you want!

Nature plays a big part but with plenty of opportunity to personalise and stamp your mark, making each wedding unique and not a version of the same old "cookie cutter wedding" which your guests have seen and been to time after time.
