The bench
Who buys, who designs, who quotes the big days and who looks after the regulars, all at Laurel Market.
Marguerite Salas
A horticulture graduate with eight years among regional farms and markets. She takes the market list three mornings a week, runs the cold store and hydration, and is the one to ask which flowers are safe around cats and dogs.
Nadia Brennan
AIFD-accredited, with fourteen years at the bench and a grounding in classical horticulture and garden design. She sets the look for weddings and dinners, builds the signature bouquets, teaches the workshops and rings you if a stem needs swapping.
Priya Raman
A Certified Floral Designer with nine years of event work. She walks the venue, quotes against the room and the timings, builds on reusable armatures, water tubes and chicken wire rather than foam, and runs set-up and collection on the night.
Wes Dunlavy
Seven years in boutique floristry and hospitality. Wes plans the city runs so nothing waits in a warm van, rotates the subscription vessels, sends gift senders a photo, and works gently with families on memorial tributes.
From the market
Word when tulips, peonies or dahlias come in, new workshop dates, and a nudge before the holiday rush. Only a handful a year.
