Hello.

I am Camila Forest Kessler; I own Forest and the Flowers where I specialise in contemporary flower design and event styling. I Studied interior design and Events Management with 10 years experience working in the custom events industry, project managing, designing table scapes, manufacturing big event structures, styling furniture and overseeing the lighting of upscale corporate events for big brands and luxury weddings of all sizes. My background also consists of event coordination and floristry. I got started with the flowers in a small shop owned by Hanoi locals in Vietnam where I had the good fortune of learning some intricate floral skills and mechanics, then continuing on with this in Bali and Cape Town. I have now rooted myself in Bristol, where my floral and event styling is something a little different: I generally don’t follow the rules of traditional floristry or styling – I instead have an abstract and design-led approach, creating something closer to floral art. My objective is to use unusual flowers, a clever combination of colours, and minimal greenery to compose flowers into unique and structured compositions that blend into their surroundings. Just as the name implies “Forest and the Flowers” you will receive these unique florals and a personal, creative experience with me.
