Ms Spencer has been operating a florist business from Anything Grows in Summer Street.
According to Ms Spencer, she’s been offering her own floral designs since September 2013, with particular demand from the wedding sector.
“I’ve been getting too busy so it’s time the flowers had their own space,” she said.
Ms Spencer said she planned to take orders for flowers for a range of different events, including funerals, wedding and birthday bouquets.
“All the flowers are super fresh and seasonal,” she said.
Ms Spencer said her arrangements would be “traditional with a twist” and may include items such as mini-pineapples or lotus pods.
Ms Spencer sources her flowers from the Sydney flower market.
Belle Armoire now operates out of Good Eddy’s Lords Place premises.

NEW measures to reduce red tape for small business operators, announced as part of the federal government’s Budget 2015 jobs and small business package, are the first step towards supporting business and employment growth across Australia, says Central West Orana Business Chamber regional manager Vicki Seccombe.
“Small business is the engine room of our national economy and provides jobs for more than seven million Australians, but for far too long excessive regulation has acted as a handbrake on growth in this vital economic sector,” Ms Seccombe said.
“The federal government should be commended for listening to the small business community and taking practical steps to reduce the burden of excessive red tape, particularly for entrepreneurs and start-ups who will be the key to driving Australia‘s future economic growth.
“Streamlining the business registration process and enabling businesses to deduct professional set-up costs immediately will make it easier for entrepreneurs and start-ups to do business in Australia.
“Allowing small business owners to change the legal structure of their business without incurring a capital gains tax liability will reduce the high stakes nature of initial set-up choices and allow business owners to focus on running a successful enterprise that will provide the jobs that Australia desperately needs.”
