Meet Florist & Stylist, Nadja!

Today you will meet Nadja - a florist & stylist and owner of Le Sans Souci. We have worked with lovely Nadja several times now. Every single time, Nadja takes the brief and works her own magic. Her creations bring joy, push boundaries, and make us excited to work with her again. Here are some recommendations we have when working with Nadja:

  • Firstly, just do it! Le Sans Souci for dreamy florals and exquisite styling.

  • Secondly, give Nadja creative control. We know this sounds scary and unpredictable… and what if it does not come together perfectly? When someone has as much experience as Nadja, works as carefully & mindfully, and lovingly creates unique, bespoke floral recipes each and every time, you could not be in better hands. We stand by this. How do we know? When we give Nadja a brief, we give her full creative control. Complete control. Our concepts are just to guide the overall direction. We could not have been happier with the result in every instance - trust in a creative is everything - and we are sure you will, too!

  • Refer to the first point <3

Here is the story behind Le Sans Souci. Thank you for sharing it with us, Nadja, and - as always - we cannot wait to work with you again in the very near future!

MY STORY … Nadja from Le Sans Souci

My name is Nadja, and I am from South-East Germany. I spent many years in Berlin where I was a frequent customer in flower shops; I had to check any new ones out as soon as they opened. Every one of them had their unique twist to their craftsmanship. Most of all, I loved the fragrance walking into a flower shop. A deep appreciation of blooms and greens, I guess, comes from my family roots. Grandma and Mum used to have unique flowering plants we cared for through the seasons; there was always a vase inside filled with blooms.

When I had the opportunity to do what I love most it was as meant to be. After finishing traditional floristry training in Qld, I took every opportunity to learn hands-on with established event florists and used distance workshops with English and American florists to learn. I love how techniques evolve constantly and become more sustainable. The beauty of floristry is that you never stop learning.

Sans Souci means ‘carefree’ or ‘no worries’ – as we take care of the LITTLE things, and you don’t have to worry.

I CREATE BEST … with loud music.

COLOUR TO ME IS … pure life and a language of its own which everyone can speak and understand.

I FIND MY INSPIRATION … all around me in nature. The light & shadow-effects in nature during different times of the day are amazing to watch.

CREATIVITY MEANS … letting my imagination flow. It actually calms me down and helped me personally to overcome anxiety.

CHOOSING BLOOMS IS LIKE … A kid in a candy store.

FLORA & FAUNA … Australian nature has an abundance of amazing textured greenery & unusual fauna which invite to foraging. Top-notch nursery blooms produced in Australia are ridiculous beautiful!

IDEAL MATERIAL COMBOS … are a balanced contrast to me where they bring the best features out in each other. Bouquets with Australian Native florals and dainty heirloom blooms with dreamy soft silk ribbons make me smile.

MY BEST DESIGN DECISION … to go bold & trust my instincts with large scale installations like a massive tall tree with flowers ‘growing’ 6m up the trunk. I love experimenting with colour and texture, letting fresh &amp; preserved organic materials merge together.

A LITTLE NOTE ON STYLING WITH FLORALS FOR YOUR BIG DAY … keep an open mind to possibilities when choosing florals with your florist or stylist. Blooms can create the perfect atmosphere at your venue. Set rules don’t really exist when it comes to what you can or can’t do on your wedding day. Nothing should stop you from achieving your vision. The best weddings I have been part of were team effort with my clients.

xx Nadja
