DAWN & MANDY

Meet Dawn and Mandy. They are a mother-daughter floral duo for The Nature of Things and an integral addition to The House Of Curation. Having a long relationship in the wedding industry working together as florists and photographers, we wanted the same positive community strength within our vendor lifeline. Dawn was my inspiration, which is why HOC was born. Dawn and Mandy are Co-Founders and our amazing florists.

They use an organic yet formal approach to floral design, embracing large scale through to the smallest detail to create original and memorable installations. Drawing inspiration from the rich tradition of late Renaissance still-life painting and ultra-modern interior design, armed with an eye for detail and a quest for perfection, The Nature of Things' designs combine contemporary and classical aesthetics. They explore the simple, boundless potential to experience beauty through nature with their dedication to making your vision come to life to create truly unforgettable artistry.
