Flowers have always brought me joy, but it wasn't until later in life that I discovered floristry was truly my passion. I feel incredibly lucky to have found something I love so much, and to spend my days creating beautiful, meaningful floral designs for life's most special moments.
I'm a wife, mum to grown-up children and a proud nana. Before floristry, I spent many years as a hairdresser, which gifted me a natural ability to connect with people and a strong understanding of colour, design and how to bring a client's vision to life.
Those skills have carried into my floral work, helping me guide couples with confidence while creating designs that feel effortless and beautifully balanced. I'm known for being both creative and a little fussy when it comes to the details. I believe the magic is often found in the finishing touches, and I take great pride in ensuring every arrangement is thoughtfully designed and beautifully presented.
The name Ruby & Dulcie is deeply personal to me. Ruby was my great-grandmother, an incredible gardener, and Dulcie was my nana, who grew the most beautiful hydrangeas. Some of my fondest childhood memories were spent in their gardens, surrounded by flowers — naming my business after them was a way of honouring the women who inspired my love of flowers from a young age.
Today, Ruby & Dulcie is built on a love of beautiful blooms, genuine connection, and creating florals that feel both timeless and memorable.
A few words from the weddings we've been part of.
“Deb absolutely nailed our florals. We were drawn to a very minimalist style, and she worked so beautifully with our ideas to create something that felt effortless, elegant, and completely us. The end result was stunning — simple, refined, and far beyond what we had imagined.”
“Deb brought all our dreams to life with our florals for our wedding. Absolutely incredible. Thank you Deb for being an absolute legend to work with and creating so much magic on our special day.”
“A huge thank you, Deb, for the gorgeous bouquet and buttonholes — they were everything we imagined and more. The arrangements were absolutely stunning and beautifully complemented our overall style. We couldn't have asked for anything more perfect on our special day!”
“Absolutely loved my wedding florals — such an amazing job, and I love even more that I get to keep them forever. Thank you so much for making my floral dreams come true for my wedding.”
“We couldn't have been happier with the incredible job Deb did for our wedding flowers. From the beautiful bouquets and buttonholes to the huge plinth pieces, aisle flowers and stunning bar arrangement, every detail was perfect. Deb went above and beyond on the day, and the value for money was incredible — we had enough flowers to fill a florist shop! We highly recommend Ruby & Dulcie.”

Whether it's an intimate celebration, a grand wedding or a thoughtful gift, I pour my heart into every design and feel privileged to be part of so many special moments.
