has earned a reputation as one of the most sought-after floral design studios, known for its artistic approach to floral design. Artistic director Heather Siu leads the team with a clear vision. She shapes the entire visual identity of an event through florals, not just the centerpieces. In fact, the work sits at the intersection of fine art, editorial design, and bold creative direction.
David Austin Roses has recognized the studio as a chosen designer. Only a handful of floral designers worldwide hold that distinction. So when you see their arrangements in print or at the most documented weddings of the year, know that level of trust runs through every stem. The team also collaborates closely with photography crews to make sure every detail lands with editorial impact.
Vancouver serves as home base, but this floral design studio works across North America, Europe, and Asia. Their portfolio spans intimate garden ceremonies and large-scale destination productions at historic estates. No matter the size, though, the approach stays the same. They design into the space, not onto it.
Why Myrtle et Olive Takes an Art-Driven Approach
Creative direction sits at the core of what Myrtle et Olive offers. Couples and planners bring the studio in early because they want someone to shape the full visual narrative. The result reads as art, not decoration. It feels layered and intentional. Above all, every detail holds up beautifully in the imagery it produces. That editorial quality is one of the reasons top publications feature the studio so consistently.
Designing a Floral Experience Within a Thousand-Year-Old Church
Both the bride and groom at a recent Villa Cetinale wedding worked as artists. They chose Pieve di San Giovanni Battista, a church dating back to at least the 11th century, and asked the team to create an abandoned, untouched feeling. So the studio turned to earthy tones, softened greens, and natural textures. The florals looked as if they had always grown there. That sense of belonging separates Myrtle et Olive from studios that simply place arrangements in a room.
How Myrtle et Olive Thinks About Space
At Gunawarman in Jakarta, the vision hit instantly. The team draped the staircase with locally crafted jasmine strings, styled like a delicate crown. The gesture honored the cultural context while quietly transforming the space. That instinct for context defines how Myrtle et Olive approaches every property. Every floral detail responds to the architecture and the emotional register of the event. Instead of decorating, the studio transforms.
A Design Process Built Around Photography
As a creative floral design studio with an editorial edge, the team works hand in hand with each photography crew. That collaboration runs through palette selection and spatial composition. Because of this, images from a Myrtle et Olive event consistently perform at a publication-ready level. Then there is the philosophy behind it all. “We believe in the thrilling essence of love, and it’s reflected in every floral we create,” says Heather Siu.
Recognition That Extends Beyond Weddings
Myrtle et Olive’s creative direction now reaches well beyond events. Harper’s Bazaar Top 100 featured pieces from the studio. Today, Myrtle et Olive works on projects across three continents, creating floral experiences for clients in a variety of destinations and settings.
