“There’s an indescribable joy in seeing how flowers can transform a space and elevate a moment. Creating floral arrangements is my way of bringing a bit of nature's serenity into people's lives and making their special moments even more memorable.”
Paula Fasano
Florist - Founder of Blooms And Flora
I have been passionate about flowers since I was very young, and I first started this side business not only because I loved flowers, but also because I realised that I needed to do something creative with my hands.
During the week, I pour my heart into my work as a project manager for a children's charity, where I help countless little ones enhance their literacy skills. This work is incredibly meaningful as it allows me to contribute to the growth and development of children, giving them a brighter future. I love my work but it’s computer-based and very structured.
That’s why on weekends, you’ll find me surrounded by petals and creativity, indulging in my love for floral arrangements. Blooms and Flora began its journey in 2021, and it's brought me immense joy ever since. What started as arranging bouquets for neighbours to bring them joy during the covid period has blossomed into creating stunning floral arrangements for events and special occasions since 2022. Florals are my creative outlet, my time to play, and to get lost in my world.
“It's safe to say that I am happiest when I am creating, arranging, and designing florals.”
It brings me joy to be a part of peoples important milestones and transformative moments. I love the creative process of flower design from start to finish, but nothing compares to seeing a big smile on my clients' faces when they see what I have lovingly put together for them. My work is a work of love!
Since I started, I have learned a lot about flowers. I have taken part in different courses along the years to grow my skills and deepen my knowledge in floristry. I want to ensure that each floral creation is crafted with both passion and expertise.
Flowers add the finishing touch, transforming any space into a charming and inviting environment. They complete the setup, elevate the décor, create an ambiance, bring elegance and freshness, Their beauty and fragrance transform the overall space!

I love the idea of contributing to baby showers because these events symbolise new beginnings, and capture the joy of welcoming a new life. There’s something truly magical and incredibly fulfilling about being part of such intimate, cherished and significant moments. It’s a privilege I treasure deeply.
It’s such an honor to partner and collaborate with Florine as part of Baby Chella,
I can’t wait to add my touch to her work and bring floral magic to your special day!

If you are after florals for your baby shower, once you confirmed with Florine, I will:
1- Get in touch with you to arrange an introductory call and understand what you are looking for on your special day. We will also discuss color themes, must-haves and have-nots, budget, and overall aesthetics. I can help if you are looking for some advice too!
2- Create a package tailored to you based on our discussion, including payment options.
3- Touch base again two weeks before the event to refine the final design details and make any changes if requested.
4- I then design, shop for flowers, and create the arrangements. On the day of the event, I deliver and finish the arrangements on-site if necessary.
I always say to my clients that from start to finish, I am there for them. Building trust is integral to making this a wonderful experience for all of us. I can't wait to hear from you and bring your floral dreams to life! ♥
