Our Story
A flower does not use words to announce its arrival to the world; it just blooms.”
– Matshona Dhliwayo
Sandra Wallington
Sandra spent much of her childhood travelling as well as living with her grandparents in the country. Her Grandpa spent his days in the veggie patch and orchard as well as caring for his chooks. Sandra was never far behind him, always helping with his jobs.
Sandra now has a large garden with flower beds to tend as well as chickens that provide fresh eggs and bees for honey.
Sandra left her position as a PA to a corporate company and family investment office having gained skills in design and organisation and a passion for detail. She now brings these skills to Lull.

Cate Mansfield
Cate was always surrounded by flowers in one way or another since a young child having a Mum who had magnificent gardens and who always arranged flowers for the home, local church and friends.
Cate also entered the local agricultural flower arranging competitions as a young child!
After many thoughtful moments of what she wanted for her future Cate decided to move away from many years as a GP and once again surround herself with flowers - hence the birth of Lull Floral and Events.
Founder
Our "lull" began in 2001 when our children started Year 1 at the tiny local primary school and became friends - we met and shared 'play dates', cups of tea, cooking ideas, sewing and quilting!!
Over many years this friendship progressed and having both come from very different career backgrounds decide to 'not live with regret any longer'.
Opportunities arose and as we felt we weren’t defined by our careers we left our jobs to pursue a chance at a new beginning.
However terrified of failure - we felt going out on a limb was better than never having tried.
Our children laughed at us and still do, our friends think we are crazy, our husbands dare not say anything!
Lull is about people and nature. It is about a sense of belonging and the connections we make to each other and to the world around us.
We bring calmness to your events and our attention to detail ensures that our style and organisational skills bring you an event that you can enjoy and create long lasting happy memories.
We plan to age happily and focusing on wellness and follow our passion to remain young at heart.
