Mother's Day

Meet our Mums

In the lead up to Mother's Day we'd like to introduce you to some of the mums behind our great team of florists here in Sydney. It's been a bit of fun pulling this together, we hope you enjoy it too!

Meet Emelia and her Mum Del

Emelia works in our design centre. Not just a floral designer, Emelia can wear many hats and enjoys being able to work in different areas in the business. From product development to managing the vast range of corporate clients and even running a few classes with the School of Floristry.

Phenomenal!

Just being together, since I got married and moved out of the family home I just enjoy the simplicity of being in each other’s company for a quick coffee or a grocery shop.

Iris, for one it is her favourite and secondly like the blue on the outside she is so cool calm and collected. Although once the Iris opens up she is the most funky, flamboyant and funny lady!

This is my mamma and I on my wedding day. It was the best day of my life and I am so glad I decided to not only have my dad give me away but my mum too!

Meet Andrea and her mum Sophia!

Andrea is one of our Customer Service superstars – who has graced our Instagram feed many a time and been the backbone of the Design Centre team for three years looking after all our wonderful customers!

My rock.

Pretty much every musical theatre show we’ve seen together, especially Priscilla Queen of the Desert – SO much fun! Also, watching The Graham Norton Show together on the couch & laughing ourselves stupid.

A slipper orchid. Not only does she grow them & LOVE them, but these orchids have a majestic & mysterious quality that reminds me of my mum, & they are just so darn beautiful & soft hearted like her.

This snap is of us a few Christmases ago when I attempted to make a Christmas-themed flower crown & it turned out more bushy than floral. My mum’s expression towards me says it all: a sweet combo of humour & love.

Meet Suzanne and her Mum Helen

This is Helen! She's mum to our Chatswood Chase Store Manager, Suzanne. Suzanne is an amazing florist and has worked for Pearsons for many, many years. Needless to say she is well and truly part of our floral family.

Generous! My mum is generous with everything she has and everyone she comes across!

Recently we had a night in Canberra, for her seventieth birthday. It was a lovely day. We went to the national art gallery to see the work of one of her favourite artists - Fred Williams. We then ate tapas and talked for hours. She shared some memories of her past. It was very special.

Mum would be a Bromeliad (any variety, she has loads of them) and like her they're unique, sturdy, adaptable & easy to love.

I had to share this image. It is my favourite ever photo of mum. She's an amazing lady.

Meet Claire (and Fred)

Barbara, our CEO's mum Claire (and dad, Fred) purchased Pearsons Florist three weeks before Mother's Day in 1969. Barbara and her brother Bernard now run the business with Bernard's son, Avi.

Just one? Strong and loving.

I was the youngest child, with three older brothers so shopping was a treat for us both!

Sweet pea... My Dad always gave her the first bunch of the season.

Tell us about this photo?

This photo was taken on my parents wedding day (she made the chicken sandwiches for the reception). They look so happy! She would be so proud to think that 3 generations of Pollaks have been involved in the business!
