From its beginnings in a little locale to now a permanent fave within the local business community and beyond. When did Carla Florist first make her debut in Double Bay and what is it that makes her such a long term and much loved icon
We began Carla Florist in 1980. It had already been trading for 10 years in Bellevue Hill and we started in Double Bay Village in 1980, moved shop a few times, but we are now back on Bay Village...33 years trading!
I love Double Bay - it is becoming exciting again with all its new developments.
With the incredible amount of huge social events you cater for (eg: Race Day, Weddings etc), you always seem to maintain the balance where you will be at market, have a somewhat "organised chaos" behind the scenes, yet for the customer nothing is every too much trouble. How difficult is it to maintain that balance
It's not really difficult to maintain the balance as we all enjoy working with flowers: every day is different.
For every season there is always THE perfect bloom. What would be your best seller or most popular
The most popular flowers throughout the year are tulips, roses (all varieties including garden roses to glasshouse roses to David Austin roses - each variety has a speciality whether it be scent or the formation of bloom), peonies and gardenias.
Does Carla Florist have an all time number one fave can't wait for it come in to season bloom or is that a trade secret!
No all time favourite flowers - we get excited and look forward to the next variety coming into season
