Louis Vuitton Mothers Day 2024

As we get closer to the end of the year, I am spending time looking over how 2024 rolled out. The absolute highlight of the year was being contacted by Louis Vuitton Australia & New Zealand. This happened around early March, 2024.

I blinked and shook my head when a random email appeared in my inbox from LV. They asked to chat to us about quoting for 5000 pressed single blooms in 5 different colour palettes. These colours ranged purple, red/ pink/white, yellow/orange and green. Each colour represented a character traits. Red symbolising passion and strength. Purple showing integrity and balance. Green meaning hope, luck and harmony. You get the idea.

Being from a fine arts practice and also as a working photographer for many years, i jumped on this challenge. What a fantastic way to propel my craft into the luxury goods space. To me, each pressed bloom is unique and represents loving and considered reverence. And so it was that I enlisted the help from my sister in law, Ellen Fawdon from Budburst Australia, to help press 5000 blooms to supply by the end of April. Queue “Mission Impossible” sound track!

Clients of LV were invited by appointment to come in and create a personalised Mother Day card choosing three blooms to represent traits for themselves, their mums or significant women in their lives. BEAUTIFUL!

I wonder if any of these very special folk knew that each of their pressed flowers came from our small little farm or Budbursts small patches and created by sister in laws who love each other very much. Small farms = Big Heart……

If you are considering doing something very special for MOTHERS DAY in 2025 and like the concept or have a similar plan, please contact us. We LOVE this kind of job brief!

( Ha…job? what job…more like a fantastic way to spend time :0)

Warm regards, Big Hugs. Simone xx
