Welcome to our Story

Hey there!

My name is Shae and I am the proud owner and Florist here at A Willow in Bloom.

AWIB is my little baby, where passion meets petals.

I aim to provide quality craftmanship and modern floral designs that leave lasting impressions on the local community.

I certainly don’t work alone in our pretty little boutique based in Mackay, QLD. Our wonderful team buzzes around the store with excitement as we blend the freshest blooms with cutting-edge modern designs. We have a passion for pushing floral boundaries, we’re not your average florists - We are the dream team behind unforgettable arrangements that pop!

From chic weddings to Instagram-worthy events and daily florals in between, we’re all about making floristry fun again.

Thanks for joining us in celebrating life’s moments with a bit of Bloomin’ floral flair.

Swing by the shop & say Hi- See what we’re about! (We also have a cute little shop fish -Willy!)

She is the calm and collected girlie of the AWIB Team, who keeps us all grounded with her sweet and gentle demeanor. She radiates warmth and every word that you hear come out of Chlo’s mouth is wrapped in kindness.

Her love for floristry is evident in the delicate care she gives each bloom. Effortlessly creating magic.

We Love Chlo and the shop would be an absolute zoo without her!!

Kasey…

Kase is our whirlwind of enthusiasm and energy here at AWIB.

Her mind is always racing with ideas and her passion is contagious, lighting up every room she walks into. Kase has a love for baking & owns a small business called ‘Pearlicious’. You can find her baked treats in our front display fridge in store!!

As the previous owner of A Willow in Bloom she has a deep care and love for this shop. After years of blooming alongside her business, Zoey is thrilled to have passed the petals over to the wonderful new owner Shae, who’s already putting her unique stamp on this charming little shop.

While Zoey is stepping into new adventures, she remains a proud supporter and forever fan of a Willow in Bloom - Excited to see it grown and flourish.
