I SCULPT YOUR STORY WITH FLOWERS

Meet the Founder

MARIA, CREATIVE DIRECTOR & FOUNDER

Ocean lover and coffee addict.

Italian heritage, Australian heart, world explorer.

I’m Maria, a Pisces, creative since I was little and curious by nature. My art was born from the necessity of expressing myself and communicating what I feel.

I first embarked on an accounting career, but I always had a strong desire to express my imagination. I found flowers the perfect medium for me to merge my feelings and the inspiration I’ve always had.

My eyes and my heart travel far and wide to collect all possible inspiration, expand it and enrich my vision.

This is why I moved to Australia in 2013 and I started working in floristry shortly after.

Today, I am based in the north of Italy, and I work Europe-wide and in Australia; I do love traveling, discovering, and being surprised by what life gifts us.

I could describe myself as a florist, but it might be limiting

I take care of the floral design interpreting your moods and feeling through natural elements, arranged in an essential, minimal, and sculptural way to create unique experiences.

My happy place? It’s on a beach where the weather is warm, the sun shines and the people smile.

Floral Designer

BASED IN THE NORTH OF ITALY,

AVAILABLE IN PORTUGAL

AND ON THE GOLD COAST (AUSTRALIA),

I'm available to travel where flowers bring me.

MARYPOPPIES Floral Studio was born from the need for expression through flowers, design, and harmony that merges them all

I wanted a name that resembled a real person, a kind of alter ego to walk through the floral world with.

Today, Maria has blended with MARYPOPPIES, surrounded by flowers that capture those fleeting moments when the blooms are bursting with life and join the beauty of nature with the sophisticated choices of decorative elements.

"I create florals with a soul"

Words of Love

"Maria from Mary Poppies and her team are absolute artists! From our first call she really tried to go deep in understanding our vision and was willing to work with our 9 hour time difference to make time to connect over video call. In addition, she provided amazing visual briefs and proposals so we could get a clear idea of what the bigger visual components of our wedding day would be. Every arrangement she created was a masterpiece. The arrangements, interactive displays, and smallwares used for our welcome party, ceremony, and reception were absolutely stunning. Our guests could not get over the beautiful display during the cocktail hour used for hors d'oeuvres. The amount of guests that posted pictures of our floral and design elements from our wedding was astounding. She made the event memorable for us but also something our guests wanted to capture for their memory bank. She’s creative beyond belief and worked closely with my planner to create a one of a kind unique bouquet that I will never forget. She is such an incredible designer and really could encapsulate the vibe and vision we discussed blending edge with classic and chic with simple in the best way. There is no one better than Mary Poppies, we cannot recommend her highly enough! "

We interpret love stories and feelings through floral design

Our flowers evoke sensations, enhance spaces and elevate events.

I firmly believe that flowers speak to us, tell us who we are, and how we look at the world.

This is why, as a visual creative that I am, I feel the need to tell stories using nature. We work with flowers in a spontaneous and pure way, combining our passion for design, art, and aesthetics available to your story.

We create the setup, choose and take care of every single detail: from the color palettes to the types of flowers, from the texture, up to the location and spaces.

Our ultimate goal? Find the harmony.
