About
Iris & the Bee

Welcome to Iris & the Bee floristry
founded by Laura Chalcroft.

Iris & The Bee is renowned for its exquisite floral bouquets and engaging flower arrangement workshops.

Laura’s floral journey began in Melbourne, Australia, where her deep-seated love for floristry—spanning scents, colors, and design—was nurtured. She honed her skills through several floral design courses at a local college and mentorship under a top Melbourne florist. Eventually, Laura left a senior corporate position to follow her passion for creating aromatic bouquets and breathtaking floral designs.

Her pursuit of excellence led her to Singapore, where she earned a professional floristry qualifications and worked in a boutique studio as a full-time florist. Laura's commitment to her craft shines through in her bespoke bouquets, her role as a teacher at flower arranging workshops, and her flair for styling weddings and major events.

In late 2020, Laura founded Iris & The Bee in Singapore, a venture that embodies her skill, passion, and dedication to the art of floristry, fostering beauty and creative expression.

In 2022, Laura relocated to New York City, where she served as an Event Manager in the ultra-luxury sector for globally renowned brands. Despite her success, her aspiration to reintroduce Iris & The Bee in New York remained strong. In 2024, Laura is thrilled to launch Iris & The Bee LLC to the Manhattan community.

At Iris & The Bee, we select only the finest blooms from a range of fresh, seasonal flowers to craft unique and special arrangements for each order. We recognize that sending a floral bouquet is a meaningful gesture, regardless of the occasion. We design each piece with this significance in mind.

If you're looking to surprise someone on a special day or just want to brighten their day with delightful scents, Iris & The Bee is here to create something truly unique and bespoke for you.
