Is there anything more adorable that Bunny Tail grass?!
Lagurus ovatus, Bunny tail grass or Hare’s Tail grass, features small creamy white tuffs on top of quite pliable stems, with longer brown bristly spikes coming out of the fluff!
Native to the Mediterranean but now found in all areas of Australia except the Northern Territory. It’s extremely drought tolerant, easy to grow and makes such a gorgeous, soft addition to any bouquet or arrangement.
You can use it fresh or dried in your arrangements, and it has become popular to use dyed versions of this textural plant, which come in all kinds of colours. My favourite is pink! Ask your wholesaler or florist but you can find a lot on Etsy as well.

Chamomile
I’m absolutely crazy for these “wildflower” bouquets! Perfect for a country style or relaxed wedding vibe.⠀ ⠀
It’s so interesting to see Baby’s Breath (Gypsophila or Gyp) come back into fashion but I am loving the use of Chamomile as well! Not only does it make a tasty bed time tea but the flowers are super cute and have a long vase life.⠀

Sea Holly
Eryngium, most commonly known as Sea Holly, is a stunning combination of delicate and rough. It comes in beautiful hues of blue, violet, green and white. It’s robust, easy to grow, drought resistant & a floristry favourite!⠀
