Our Story
Meet Lauren!
An independent florist based in Ipswich
After 10 years working in the Insurance Industry, I found myself on maternity leave in the middle of a pandemic. At a time of reflection for many people, I knew I wanted to do something different. I’ve always had entrepenurial tendencies, at the age of 11 created homemade cards at sold them to independent business’s and have always had a little side hustle.
Running my own business had always been a goal of mine and flowers have always been a passion, so it was decided…I was going to become an Ipswich based florist.
Those that know me can guarantee I will be wearing neutral colours or navy blue so ‘Beige and Bloom’ was born.
For me, flowers celebrate any occasion; a birthday, a wedding, or a pick me up for a loved one. Making something beautiful, that I would personally love to receive is always at the forefront of my mind when selecting flowers. I have been lucky enough to design flowers across many different styles and aesthetics, pushing my creativity (something I love).
Who is the we?
Beige and Bloom is an independent business and I (Lauren) do 90% of it, but from time to time you may find Stef (my husband) or my mum (Martina) delivering your bouquet, or helping me set up a large scale wedding. Plus, Hunter (our four year old) or Isla (our almost 2 year old) may be running around at home, should you come and collect your flowers!
Thank you for stopping by and having a browse.
