WELCOME TO DAISY’S FLORIST Make your event bloom!
Daisy’s Florist Daisy’s select the most creative and talented designers to bring you a unique and contemporary “Daisy Style”.
Established in 1978 and moving into Toowong Village in 1986 upon its opening, Daisy’s of Toowong, has been owned and operated by the Larsen family. Over the years not only have they prided themselves on their quality floral offerings, Daisy’s has produced some of Australia’s Premier floral designers. Within Toowong Village, Daisy’s have their store on the Gallery Level as well as a floral kiosk on the Ground Level. In 2013, Shauna Larsen, a renowned florist in her own right, took over the business. In July 2013 in conjunction with the opening of their brand new store at Indooroopilly Shopping Centre, the name changed to Daisy’s Florist. With the renovations and subsequent relaunch of Toowong Village, our Toowong Store underwent a face lift in 2014/15 and is now styled in a similar look to the Indooroopilly Store but retaining its warm cosy feel. Our cute little kiosk also had a makeover. In 2015, Shauna Larsen, went to Berlin to represent Australia at the Interflora World Cup. Daisy’s always has the freshest of flowers and the most talented staff to ensure the job is done right.

Nova 106.9
Nova Luncheon at Doomben Racecourse We created mini jar table arrangements in the Nova 106.9 corporate Marquee at Doomben Racecourse. The brief was light and airy with white and green traditional country style designs. The cluster of vases needed to be tight into the centre of the dry bars as food would be placed on platters around them. This installation was created the day before the event in warm temperatures. The tulips in the top vase were very tight but would open and hang back down towards the centre of the table the following day in time for the event.
Nova Luncheon at Alchemy Restaurant Using the mini jars and white blooms, the brief was for pure crystal white with limited green tones in these table designs. The flowers used are Colombian roses, white andromeda and white ranunculas.
