About the Author

Wadi Herbs is authored by Oliver St Leon, who brings together practical florist knowledge and a strong understanding of wedding styling and local floral trends. His focus is on creating floral work that feels grounded, natural, and suited to real-life events rather than overly staged concepts.

Our Story

Wadi Herbs began with a simple belief: flowers should feel like they belong to the moment—not like they were added to it.

What started as a small, hands-on floral practice built around seasonal arrangements slowly evolved into a dedicated studio focused on weddings, events, and everyday floral design across Sydney’s lower north shore. From the beginning, the goal wasn’t scale or volume—it was refinement, consistency, and creating work that feels intentional.

The name Wadi Herbs reflects that mindset. “Wadi” evokes natural landscapes shaped over time, while “Herbs” speaks to growth, seasonality, and living material. Together, it represents how we approach floristry: grounded, natural, and responsive to what’s in season rather than forcing rigid structure onto design.

What We Focus On

Weddings are at the heart of what we do. Every couple has a different vision, and our role is to translate that into floral arrangements that feel cohesive across the entire event.

We work with:

  • Bridal bouquets designed around dress style, season, and colour palette
  • Ceremony arrangements for aisles, arches, and feature spaces
  • Reception florals that elevate tables without overpowering them
  • Buttonholes, corsages, and bridal party florals for consistency

Our Mission

Our mission is to: Whether you’re planning a wedding, sending flowers to someone special, or simply looking for a reliable local florist, Wadi Herbs aims to make the process straightforward and meaningful. Every arrangement is created with care, ensuring it reflects both the occasion and the intention behind it.
