Hi I’m Elysia (affectionately known as El) - Owner and Creative Director of Maple & Wren and the Maple &  Wren Floral Art Academy. I’m two parts creativity, one part process driven, garnished with a heavy grating of enthusiasm (and I’m #notsorry).

I found my art in floristry kind of by accident in 2015. Before that, I was a corporate marketing and large scale event manager in a strict and bureaucratic role.  That life is no longer for me, but I'm thankful for the influence it's had on my business. 
Over the past 8 years I've built a multi-six figure wedding & event floristry business and worked on over 300 weddings and events.
In 2022 I launched Maple & Wren Floral Art Academy teaching efficient, effective and elegant floral design. My passion is redefining luxury floral design, breaking down the process & logistics of the industry, assisting new florists to truly bloom in their businesses.
