Why Choose Us?

​


​

I love to work with colour (especially my favorite colour pink!) to create flower frames, arrangements, wreaths and bouquets that evoke the beauty and joy of freshly picked flowers from the garden.

 

I predominantly use flowers grown by local Wellington flower farmers, and flowers that I've grown and dried from my own small garden.

​

I always have a range of made-to-order items available on my website and I occasionally add one-off pieces depending on how or when the creative urge hits me.

 

I can arrange delivery of my pieces anywhere in New Zealand - dried flowers travel well and the shipping costs are reasonable. My pieces are also available at Welly Collective stores in Courtenay Place, Wellington and at Queensgate Mall, Lower Hutt.

 

I also set aside a few spaces each month for commission pieces. If you are after something unique for your home, business, boutique wedding or event, please check out my gallery page for inspiration or get in touch to chat about how I can help create something very special for you.

​

I'm Leigh, the owner of Magenta Blooms - a dried flower studio based at my home in Karori, Wellington. 

 

I've been a huge flower lover as long as I can remember, but I'd worked as a lawyer and in management roles for most of my career. In 2021, I took a step away from the stress-filled corporate world to focus on my health. During this time I created a small cottage garden filled with lots of colourful blooms and discovered my love for dried flowers. I learned everything I could about them and in 2022, Magenta Blooms was born as a way to share the joy of flowers with others. 

​

I choose to work with dried flowers because I love that they can be enjoyed in the garden initially, picked at their best and then enjoyed for years to come.

 

I also love that they offer a sustainable alternative to fresh flowers, because they're long lasting and almost nothing is wasted. Dried flowers are also straightforward to care for and perfect for people with allergies as they don't contain pollen.
