Nestled in the vibrant community of Byron Bay's Banksia Drive, Braer Studio is a unique multidisciplinary space founded by Azzmin Frances, where creativity flourishes through the fusion of floristry, art, and design. Our vision is to create an environment that celebrates the beauty of nature and fosters collaboration and community connection.

 

The Creative Philosophy Behind Braer

At Braer, we believe in blurring the lines between floral arrangements and art installations. Flowers are more than just decoration; they are a means of expression. By integrating art and design into our floristry, we create immersive experiences that transform spaces. Our multidisciplinary nature allows us to offer a holistic service encompassing floristry, installations, and creative direction. While we collaborate with talented photographers to capture our work, we focus on bringing our floral artistry to life in unique and expressive ways.

The Power of Collaboration

Collaboration is at the heart of everything we do. We thrive on working alongside other creatives, businesses, and the local community to bring ideas to life. Braer Studio serves as a hub for creative exchange, hosting workshops, exhibitions, and events that invite people to share their passions and talents. Whether we’re partnering with local artists for a gallery exhibition or collaborating with brands for bespoke floral installations, our studio is a space where ideas come together.

Inspired by Nature, Grounded in Design

We are forever finding inspiration in nature. Everything we do is underpinned by a deep appreciation for the world around us and the profound beauty of organic forms. The stunning landscapes of Australia influence our design approach, guiding us toward natural materials and textures. Each arrangement tells a story, inviting viewers to connect with the natural world meaningfully.

 

Locally Grown and Sourced

At Braer, we prioritise sustainability and community. We source from approximately 20 farms within a 100km radius of the Byron shire, supporting the local economy and independent agriculture while reducing supply chain miles and carbon emissions. Many of our growers are women, and as a female-owned business, we cherish the sense of community and collaboration this fosters. In one arrangement, you will see the personalities of several strong local growers intertwined as one.

Our commitment to Australian-grown florals means we limit purchases from commercial markets and focus exclusively on local blooms. We consider the full life cycle and impact of all packaging materials, incorporating reusable, home-compostable elements in our bouquets. We aim to minimize waste while seeking plastic-free options at the market. We compost and recycle in line with best environmental practices.

At Braer Studio, we focus on celebrating nature and fostering collaboration within our community. We invite you to visit our space, explore floral art with us and connect. For inquiries or to share your ideas on how we could work together, please reach out—we’d love to hear from you!
