Hello! I’m Beth, the florist behind Gishiki Flora.

After a decade working in interior design and homewares, I began to shift my focus toward events. I’ve always been fascinated by the way a space can be transformed - whether to reflect a person, a celebration, or the rhythm of our daily rituals. During my years in sales, for me it was never about numbers, it was about offering thoughtful solutions, enhancing everyday moments, and understanding people’s needs. Over time, that desire to create became more tactile. I felt a growing pull to work with my hands, and that led me to floristry, which felt joyful, expressive, and full of possibility. What started as curiosity has blossomed into Gishiki Flora - a space where floral design becomes its own quiet ritual.

Each arrangement is made with care and intention, a gentle celebration of slow, sustainable beauty. Gishiki Flora is proudly foam-free, honouring the earth and every stem. Thank you for inviting me into your moment - whether it’s a quiet offering, an intimate gathering, or a celebration in full bloom. I hope to create something that feels as special as flowers do.

So, why the name?

The Japanese word "Gishiki" (儀式) literally means "ceremony" or "ritual”. 

There’s something deeply romantic about the way Japanese culture allows nature and human artistry to exist in quiet conversation. Nothing feels overworked, yet everything sings with intention. Beauty isn’t just found, it’s gently shaped. From moss-covered zen gardens and bonsai trees, to ikebana and the practice of satoyama, there’s a quiet harmony between the wild and the hand-crafted. I see that same balance in floristry, where each stem, each placement, becomes a little dialogue between nature and care.

This philosophy, paired with my love for everyday rituals, sits at the heart of what I do. Gishiki Flora exists to seek intentional beauty, honour transformation, and bring a sense of mindfulness and joy - whether in your daily rhythms or your most meaningful celebrations!

I hope my blooms feel like they’ve come from a Studio Ghibli garden - a little whimsical, a little wild, and full of quiet magic. xx
