In the heart of Sydney’s creative pulse, September Studio is quietly redefining what floristry — and multi-brand creativity — can look like. Founded by Bryce Heyworth, the studio blends his ceramicist roots with bold floral artistry, turning bouquets into sculptural statements and brand collaborations into cultural playgrounds.
The Creative Origin
Bryce Heyworth didn’t arrive via the traditional florist route. He trained (and still practices) as a ceramicist, and that background gave him an unconventional vantage point. Instead of thinking of flowers purely as décor, he treats them as a medium for expression — form, texture, colour and narrative matter just as much as bloom. (McMullin) When he launched September Studio in Darlinghurst, it wasn’t just a shop — it became a creative space where ceramics, florals and digital content converged. (Broadsheet)
Brand, Not Just Bouquets
Under Bryce’s vision, September Studio has evolved into a full-fledged brand. Here’s how they’ve layered value:
- Floristry & same-day bouquets: With local sourcing and a focus on seasonality, their arrangements (like their “September Tones” collection) stand out in a crowded market. (Broadsheet)
- Ceramic and sculptural design: Bryce’s ceramic training shows up in the custom vases and sculptural approach to each arrangement. (McMullin)
- High-profile brand collaborations: Notably, the studio teamed up with Archie Rose Distilling Co. to launch “September Gin” — a spirit crafted with the same botanical sensibility and visual identity as the studio’s flowers. (Archie Rose Distilling Co.)
- Digital savvy & social commerce: Their TikTok and Instagram strategy is core to their growth. According to Bryce, the social content drives almost all of their marketing and sales. (Wildflower Academy)
Signature Campaigns & Milestones
Some of the standout moments in September’s rise:
- September Gin: This collaboration distilled the studio’s aesthetic into a drinkable form. “The process of creating September Gin was really like a distillation of our flower shop,” Bryce said. (Archie Rose Distilling Co.)
- Luxury brand partnerships: Bryce was selected to create large-scale floral installations for major events — such as the partnership with Lexus at the Landmark by Lexus pavilion during the Melbourne Cup Carnival. (The Urban List)
- Follower growth & global reach: September Studio reportedly now has over one million followers and has become one of Australia’s most followed floristry brands, with reach far beyond Sydney. (Broadsheet)
