FLOWERS ON TEDDER AMONGST THE BEST BUNCH IN FIRST YEAR

In less than a year, Flowers on Tedder has become a local business success story being nominated as a finalist in the search for the Best of the Gold Coast Florists 2017.

This comes after Gold Coast Bulletin readers nominated the Main Beach florist, alongside another 20 well-established florists over the past weekend.

Owner Margot de Groot said she was both thrilled and surprised to have been nominated within her first year of business. 

The store is an exciting new endeavour for Margot, the founder of a national law firm, a published author with many philanthropic achievements to her credit.

Finally, she has found time to indulge one of her great passions.

“I’ve reached a point in my life where I have the opportunity to pursue a dream,” she said.

“With a career in wills and estate planning, flowers have always featured in our business life - they make people happy and I like being part of that.”

Flowers on Tedder specialises in finely crafted floral arrangements for weddings and corporate events.

They play to the skills of its key staff, florists Nicole Jordan and Hannah Grigg and Margot’s daughter Alice, a professional prop maker recently graduated from NIDA who, with stylist Emma Goody, provides artistic input. 

“We wanted to stay true to the original version of a florist’s shop, where every arrangement is handcrafted to suit the people and the occasion, so we take time to listen to our customers and understand the message they are wanting to convey,“ said Margot.

“Starting my own floristry boutique was a dream at the time but gradually my ideas have evolved. I believe you never stop learning and growing and this is my next adventure. My mother loved fashion and flowers so the store is a tribute to her sense of style.”

The shop captures an elegant European look thanks to the efforts of top Brisbane interior designer Mary Durack - and Mary's daughter, Kate, who did the graphic design work for the shop.
