About us

The story of Vanilla Bloom isn't just about flowers and balloons; it's about the rediscovery of passion, the courage to embrace change, and the joy of creating something truly unique.

From a young age, my hands were always busy – drawing, painting, crafting. Art was my sanctuary, my way of expressing myself. But life, as it often does, led me down a different path. After becoming a mother to two beautiful children, I found myself at a crossroads. My career had stalled, and a sense of longing lingered within me – a yearning for the creative spark I thought I had lost.

It was during a visit to my family in South Korea that fate intervened. I witnessed the heartwarming tradition of gifting "flower balloons" – intricate arrangements of silk flowers encased in transparent balloons, a symbol of lasting affection. The beauty and longevity of these creations captivated me. I saw more than just a gift; I saw an opportunity.

This was my chance to rekindle my artistic spirit, to build something beautiful from the ground up. I was fortunate to have a cousin who was already a successful silk flower craft artist in Korea, having dedicated six years to her craft. From her, I learned the meticulous techniques, the subtle artistry, and the deep satisfaction of creating these miniature works of art.

Returning to Sydney, I poured my heart and soul into mastering this craft. Late nights were spent perfecting techniques, sourcing the finest silk flowers, and experimenting with designs. Vanilla Bloom was officially born in January 2023, after initial trials in November 2022, a testament to the power of dreams and the unwavering support of family.

Today, Vanilla Bloom is more than just a business; it's a labor of love. Each flower balloon is a unique creation, handcrafted with meticulous care and imbued with the joy I find in my work. I consider myself a "happiness ambassador," spreading joy one balloon at a time. There's an indescribable pride in knowing that I'm creating something one-of-a-kind, a gift that will bring lasting smiles and cherished memories.

The best part? Hearing from my customers. Knowing that they feel the passion and dedication woven into each creation, that they appreciate the artistry and the enduring beauty – that's the ultimate reward. It's a confirmation that following my heart was the right path, that even after a detour, it's never too late to bloom.

Vanilla Bloom is a celebration of creativity, resilience, and the enduring power of human connection. We believe in the magic of handcrafted gifts, in the beauty that lasts, and in the joy of sharing that beauty with the world. We invite you to be a part of our story, and to share the enduring beauty of Vanilla Bloom with those you cherish.

We are making a long lasting memory, not just a gift.
