Posted in The Nest giveaways by centralwestnest

Ivory Rose Botanicals are your local team that will help with all your floral needs! They do everything from weddings to corporate, every day flowers to big events.

Ivory Rose Botanicals started three and half years ago in a home based studio, it then branched out in the street of B-town and recently has moved back home. It’s a business that is forever evolving and at the moment it’s a girl boss business run by a busy mama who also wrangles three little bambinos in between creating luxurious bunches of blooms!

2020 for Ivory Rose Botanicals is shaping up to be the biggest year yet. The thing that sets Ivory Rose Botanicals apart from the others is that they do things their own way, they don’t feel the pressure to be part of the ‘norm’ and have created a unique business that welcomes and encourages people from all walks of life.

Ivory Rose Botanicals is run by Maddie and her team of flower stars. Karlee, Tanya, Bri, Live, Lara and Alicia all possess that special flower power which means you will never be disappointed.

Ivory Rose Botanicals prides itself on supporting many shapes and forms of life to be the best version of themselves and designed a workplace that works for them, not the other way around. They tend to create flowers following the same concept – free spirited, in the moment and allowing creativity to lead the way!

If you want some soul with your flowers make sure you contact Ivory Rose Botanicals today.

{Christmas Prizeapolooza 2018} Christmas blooms better with Ivory Rose

Posted in The Nest giveaways by centralwestnest

We LOVE Ivory Rose Botanicals! Not only do they do amazing floral art masterpieces but they are genuinely the nicest, friendliest store of people you will ever walk into.

Located in George Street, Bathurst you will not have to look far to see one of the most amazing window displays in all of the area, they take great care decorating and staging a window like no other. The shop is stunning even before you walk in the door.

Ivory Rose Botanicals has grown from a home studio to one of the most successful businesses in town in such a short time. It’s a family run and operated business open 6 days a week. What sets Maddie and her team apart is that fact that you aren’t just a customer when you walk in, you quickly become part of the family.

Maddie has some wonderful staff working alongside her including a number of ladies from Vivability who make Ivory Rose Botanicals just that little bit more lovely. She also supports a couple of talented up and coming florists to the business and aims to prove that those with ability (and as a self employed working mummy) can achieve the greatest of goals. (p.s watch this space for the upcoming Power of Ability launch!)

Ivory Rose Botanicals is different from the rest because they push the boundaries of floral art to ensure each one of their pieces are uniquely designed to entice the senses. They rely on the ‘fresh is best’ policy and only order enough stock to turn over every two days to ensure you only ever receive the highest quality produce.

What I love about Ivory Rose Botanicals are the fact that you can also get super hands on. Maddie and the team hold workshops where you can learn floral art and create your own magnificent masterpieces in a fun and supportive atmosphere. They even have Christmas workshops!

{Girl Crush Tuesday} The marvellous Maddie

Posted in Girl Power by centralwestnest

We have some pretty hard girl crushes. These are the types of ladies that stamp their style on the world. They are the type of people that will always be remembered and little girls grow up wanting to be. They are women of substance. Women that make the world a better place. Happy Girl Crush Tuesday everybody.

Today we are saluting the brilliantly talented, creative genius that is Maddie Veitch from Ivory Rose Botanicals.

Maddie is a local mama who is working hard for herself and her family. Not long ago she opened Ivory Rose Botanicals in George Street Bathurst and since that time has shown herself to be the front-runner in floral design.

Maddie will help with everything from a simple bouquet for your bestie, all the way up to your wedding arch super pieces. She doesn’t just sell flowers, she literally creates art.

Ivory Rose Botanicals also holds really fun classes in floral arrangements, everything from headpieces to flower centrepieces.

Plus, the totes best thing is rolling into her little studio and getting to hang out with Maddie and her beautiful little boys.

The Central Nest loves supporting local women working hard to make a difference and Maddie is certainly doing that. So, thank you Maddie for giving my little girls someone to look up to so they realise you really can strive to have it all.

{Locally Found} Stop. Its fairy party time

Posted in Locally found by centralwestnest

So this year for the first time we are having an actual real-life-hire-somewhere birthday party for the kindergartner.

She has a bunch of school mates and I nearly suffocate when I think of the idea of 15 screeching 5 and 6 year old girls inhabiting my house for a few hours on a Saturday. So, I needed some options.

Catering is hard, especially in this day when loads of kids have allergies or special requirements. It is also difficult to enjoy the day while trying to keep track of other people’s kids!

So, enter Bathurst City Community Club (or the BCCC).

They offer themed parties to suit your little miss or mister and all you have to supply is the cake.

The friendly team will supply party bags, food, entertainment, drinks and games for your guests.

The totes best part though is they provide you with a host person that takes care of the little people!

BRILLIANT!

I am definitely excited and will report back after we have “the best party ever” – quote from my almost 6 year old.

If you need a party location give them a call and have a chat. Tell them The Central Nest sent you!
