Flowers are one of my favourite things in the world – so let’s meet the talented Jennie of Camden based florist Merci Bouquet! Jennie shares my love of flowers (though undoubtedly she is so much more of an expert than I!). She’s adored blooms all the days of her life – first discovering them in her childhood, growing up in the Blue Mountains. She lives her passion every day by creating bouquets and arrangements that make life beautiful.

Jennie’s a pro at weddings – spending a long, detailed consultation with you before coming up with a proposal for your beautiful wedding blooms. She’ll even dedicate a Pinterest board to you and your wedding!

We asked Jennie from Merci Bouquet five questions in five minutes –

What is your favourite after five drink?

Champagne… is there any other??

Your favourite weekend getaway?

I have two, NSW South Coast during the warmer months, especially at Bannisters in Mollymook and the upper Blue Mountains in Winter, has to be near Leura. There is nothing like being curled up in front of a fire with a cheese plate, a glass of red and wonderful company.

Favourite restaurant?

Anywhere that I feel comfortable taking a 3 year old! Although when I’m in the Southern Highlands for a wedding setup I ALWAYS stop at Janek’s in Bowral. Their food is so full of flavor, the staff are lovely and love sitting outside under the trees on the Parisian cafe style chairs.

What can we find you eating for breakfast on a Sunday morning?

My usual, 2 poached eggs with spinach, Parmesan and black pepper. I honestly eat it every day, it’s the best breakfast for early starts and long days. I’m actually eating them now :0)

Your favourite wedding story?

No one wedding stands out as my aim with the flowers and styling is to stir emotions, especially with the bridal bouquets. It may sound silly, but if this gorgeous bride to be standing before me squeals with excitement or tears up with happiness… I’ve done my job.
