This is once in a lifetime floristry.

This is once in a lifetime floristry.

Elegant, refined, fresh
& utterly original.

No two weddings or events designed and created by Joanna at The Rarified are ever the same.

Far more than a florist

At The Rarified, we bring your unique vision to life through great design, unmatched inspiration and seamless planning.

With an understanding of the power that sophisticated colour choices and beautiful textures can have, we weave together wonderful combinations of flowers, foliage, plants and props for weddings and events of all shapes and sizes.

Inspired Floral Design

Each wedding and event designed by Joanna is elevated, inspired, and completely unique.

We’re here to show you what is possible, even if you never believed it could be. As Creative Director, I’ll work closely with you to understand your vision for your wedding or private party, help refine your ideas and work on the finer details, so your day can be truly Rarified.

“My work is a little bit of a secret, shared between brilliant planners and great catering companies who know and love what I offer and how I work. Once you know about me and what I can offer, you’ll understand.”

Meet Joanna Cairns

With over 18 years experience as a floral designer, preluded by a career in textiles design, and coloured with a love for painting and ceramics, my world is abundant with creativity.

I fundamentally believe in beautiful design and elegant styling and I pride myself on creating work that is undoubtedly elevated and unique to each individual client.

Mentoring Sessions

  • "Could not have created my dream wedding without Joanna. She was patient, honest, and really took the time to understand exactly what I was wanting. She then executed the plan beautifully, I can’t thank her enough for all the time and effort given to making our day so stunning and special."

    Amelia

  • "Joanna and The Rarified were perfect. They supported us on our wedding day at Middleton Lodge and everyone commented on the flowers saying how exquisite they were. The ideas and vision I gave was followed perfectly but with Joanna's artist flare added on. I couldn't believe what I was seeing when Joanna brought the bouquets into the bridal suite."

    — Lucy

  • "Joanna's floral displays exceeded our expectations and our guests have not stopped commenting on how beautiful and elegant all the flowers were!"

    — Charlotte

  • "Joanna made our special wedding day even more special. We wanted to bring the spirit of both our cultures (English and South American) with the flowers throughout the day. The floral arrangements exceeded our expectations, they were not only creative but elegant as well. All our guests commented on how stunning, vibrant and different they were. We were certainly blown away by Joanna's work!"
