BOTANYAlexandra Hirst · Adelaide
The glasses we use at Imagine are artworks in their own right.
Created by Adelaide glass artist Alexandra Hirst, the Botany series is made from hand-blown glass, with each piece individually etched with Australian native plants and flowers.
The collection was originally inspired by Alexandra's hikes and travels through South Australia, celebrating native flora that can so easily be overlooked. Each piece is individually formed and etched, making no two exactly alike.
At Imagine, we love that they're not treated as precious objects sitting untouched on a shelf.
We use them.
They're filled with water, held by brides and their families, and brought out during appointments as part of the everyday rhythm of the studio.
It's a small example of what The Studio Collection is about surrounding bridal with Australian art and craftsmanship, but allowing those pieces to be lived with rather than simply displayed.
Beautiful things don't always need to be saved for special occasions.
Sometimes they can simply be the glass you drink from while finding your wedding dress.
