2024 Wrapped: A Year in Bloom at Joanne Flowers of Manuka
As 2024 draws to a close, it’s time to reflect on what has been an incredible year for us at Joanne Flowers of Manuka, your trusted local florist here in Canberra. From weddings to milestone moments, we’ve had the pleasure of bringing countless celebrations to life through the beauty of flowers. This year has been a journey of creativity, love, and growth, and we couldn’t be more grateful for all the wonderful moments we’ve shared with our clients and community.
Here’s a look back at some of the highlights from 2024, as we wrapped up another beautiful year.
20 Stunning Weddings
This year, we had the honour of being a part of 20 stunning weddings. Each one was unique, with its own story, style, and special moments that we were proud to contribute to. From romantic, intimate gatherings to grand celebrations, we designed everything from bouquets to full floral installations, ensuring that each couple’s vision was brought to life in the most memorable way.
We loved working with so many amazing couples helping them choose the perfect flowers that reflected their personalities and the essence of their love. From soft pastels to bold, vibrant hues, every arrangement was carefully curated to make their day even more extraordinary.
Celebrating Love on Valentine’s Day
Valentine’s Day 2024 was another highlight in our year, with hundreds of beautiful bouquets leaving our shop to brighten up the day for lovers, friends, and families across Canberra. From classic red roses to whimsical mixed blooms, we were thrilled to be part of so many expressions of love and affection. It’s always a pleasure to see the joy our flowers bring to our customers, whether it’s a simple bouquet or an elaborate arrangement.
Honouring Mothers with Stunning Blooms
Mothers Day is always a special time of year for us, and in 2024, we had the privilege of creating beautiful floral arrangements to celebrate the amazing mothers in our community. From soft, feminine florals to bold, vibrant displays, our arrangements were designed to convey gratitude, love, and appreciation for all the wonderful mums out there. We loved being able to play a part in making these celebrations extra special, whether it was a large family gathering or a quiet, heartfelt moment.
Wreath Tributes for National Days
This year, we also paid tribute to the important days of remembrance in our country. We were honoured to create wreaths for ANZAC Day, Remembrance Day, and other national holidays that reflect the courage and sacrifice of those who have served our country. These wreaths were an important part of local ceremonies and memorials, and it was humbling to be part of these reflective moments.
The intricate designs and symbolism in each wreath were crafted with the utmost respect, creating a meaningful tribute for each occasion. It’s always an emotional and moving experience for us to provide these tributes for such important moments in history.
Engagement Parties, Bridal Showers, and Baby Showers
Beyond the major holidays and weddings, 2024 saw us working on many other special events that marked significant milestones in people’s lives. Engagement parties were filled with excitement and anticipation, and we loved designing floral arrangements that reflected the joy of the occasion. Bridal showers, baby showers, and other celebrations were also a big part of our year, with beautiful, bright arrangements bringing warmth and cheer to intimate gatherings.
From elegant florals for a sophisticated bridal shower to playful and whimsical designs for a baby shower, we crafted arrangements that helped set the mood for each event, ensuring that flowers were an essential part of the celebration.
Building Connections in the Community
This year has not only been about flowers but about building connections in the Canberra community. Our clients, both new and returning, have made our year what it is, and we are truly grateful for the trust you’ve placed in us. We’ve also loved collaborating with local venues, photographers, event planners, and other businesses that share our passion for creating memorable moments.
We can’t thank our wonderful community enough for the continued support and encouragement. We’ve loved hearing your feedback and seeing the joy that our creations bring to your special occasions. Every floral arrangement, every wedding, every tribute is an opportunity to connect, and we are so grateful for the chance to be part of these important moments in your lives.
Looking Forward to 2025
As we look to the new year, we’re filled with excitement for what’s ahead. 2025 promises to be another year of growth, creativity, and, of course, beautiful blooms. We’re already working on some exciting new projects and looking forward to helping more couples, families, and businesses celebrate life’s important moments through the art of floral design.
Thank you for making 2024 an unforgettable year. We can’t wait to continue serving you in the years to come, creating flowers that speak the language of love, beauty, and joy.
From all of us at Joanne Flowers of Manuka, we wish you a joyful, prosperous, and flower-filled 2025. Here's to another year of blooming with you!
