Based in Cape Town, FORAGED is an environmentally conscious, 'garden style' - floral service that offers whimsical bouquets, wild botanical arrangements and -installations for weddings, events, and retail spaces.
Our floral designs are inspired by the changing seasons and the lush outdoors. Our work can be described as romantic loosely arranged, and unstructured with a real down to earth feel. We kinda let the flowers do what they want to do.
We source fresh cut botanicals from the finest local suppliers and flower farms, depending on the season and the blooms available. Our focus is on using local and sustainable flowers and foraged foliage mostly, but we may in some cases source internationally.
We would like to start with a consultation in which we can start the process of dreaming up your unique wedding or event. We can touch on all the small details from concept to execution so that you can walk away knowing every flower, vase, and other request is uniquely suited to your taste and style.
In 2015, Janine started playing around with possible ways to cache and preserve dried plant material and after a few pieces of broken glass and framing issues, she finally found a way to assemble and treasure these beautiful organic samples of nature. Her Pressed Botanical Art is available in any custom size, containing your prefered pattern and plant material.
Please contact us with your requirements, We're already excited to create something amazing for your special day, your home, shop front or someone special in your life.
Our approach is making use of what is on hand and in season in order to arrive at lovely botanical pieces that reflect the unique personality and characteristics of each client with as little impact on the environment as possible.
It all comes down to the relationship between the types of flowers, the textures they create, their overall movement when the plant materials are structured together.
