OUR LATEST PRODUCTS
This Valentine’s Day, love takes on a rich, moody, and dramatic form with our "Dark Depths" floral designs.
Love, in All Its Depths! Deep reds, bold textures, and opulent blooms – because passion deserves more than just a dozen roses. Valentines isn’t just about flowers, it’s about emotion, depth, and the stories we tell through what we give. Our Dark Depths arrangements aren’t your typical Valentine’s bouquets. They’re bold, dramatic, and unapologetically passionate – just like real love.
For those who love fiercely. For those drawn to mystery, intensity, and beauty with an edge.
Each bouquet is a poem in petals, a sonnet in stems, and a love story in florals - crafted for those who love fiercely and unapologetically.
"All thoughts, all passions, all delights,
Whatever stirs this mortal frame,
All are but ministers of Love,
And feed his sacred flame." - Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Wishing you all a Valentine’s filled with love, longing, heartfelt moments, floral indulgence, and maybe even a little poetry.

Blooming with Purpose:
All these gorgeous blooms from the various shades of white and cream dahlias and hints of lavender, pink, and burgundy as well, to the several types of scabiosa, delphiniums, and Cosmos – arranged by Hare Curated – come straight from our own test beds at our headquarters in Johannesburg. As a floral designer and grower, I’m all about keeping things local, sustainable, and local cut flower grower community-driven.
No matter if you have just a few pots to fill, whole beds in your garden or a small plot of land you grow or farm on. There’s something magical about cutting flowers from the garden and sharing them in an arrangement – especially when it inspires others to grow and experiment with their own cut flower varieties. Sure, I don’t always get to fulfil every order or event or film/stills project with blooms from my garden and some of my preferred local growers and still have to fill some orders from auctions or wholesale markets. But being an ambassador of what is possible and slowly turning the tide makes me happy. There is a movement and consciousness in sustainable floristry building and that means so much to me.
I love seeing my customers’ flower beds thrive, sharing tips and triumphs, and building a community that bonds over the simple (and yet profound) joy of flowers. Even on bigger projects – like corporate events or film sets – watching people’s faces light up when they discover a new bloom is priceless and to be able to tell them that it is locally grown makes me glow with pride. This shared enthusiasm for nature and beauty truly brings us all together.
Let’s keep growing this mindful, vibrant community!

A Small Glimpse Into Our Floral Design & Event Magic
Missed our first pinned post in this series of posts called “Hello, I am Erique; Let’s Elevate Your Events with Hare Curated’s Artistic Floral Experiences”? It’s all about the owner and founder, Erique Swart, and his creative journey and the heart and soul behind our Johannesburg-based floral studio, Hare Curated, and how we infuse passion into every arrangement.
Now, here’s a closer look at some of our recent wedding and event installations and a few private client floral designs—from only supplying a bouquet and a few vases filled with blooms arranged blooms for a laidback and low-key immediate family and a few friends ceremony, to an intimate nuptial ceremony held in our client’s private garden at the most sumptuous home in Parkhurst (listed by VISI as one on JHB best homes) to bold, immersive film event spaces for a drama series on Netflix and Amazon. Each setup is tailored to bring colour, elegance, and life to your special moments in the City of Gold and beyond.
In our third pinned post, where we’ll guide you on how to work with us—including all the ways to get in touch, plus a handy Q&A to ensure your dream vision comes to life. But for now, swipe through and get inspired by the possibilities of fresh blooms and carefully curated décor.

STEP INTO YOUR BIGGER DREAM THIS NEW YEAR
Day one of 2025, we at Hare Curated wish you a Happy New Year. We hope that all your goals are defined by your intentions. As Oprah reminds us, there’s a bigger dream waiting for you—just waiting for you to step into it. When you ask, “What is the dream for me?” and align your actions with genuine intentions and purpose, the outcome is unstoppable.
Here’s to making 2025 a year of growth, meaningful connections, and beautiful creations. We styled this tablescape to showcase what happens when intention meets artistry: a single floral design featuring Lisianthus Brown, Light Pink, Apricot, Rose, Delphinium Fountain Mix, and pink dahlias—along with our curated place setting of crockery, cutlery, napkins, candlesticks, candles, and glassware. Every bloom in this design comes from our test beds at our premises and the young plants we grow, and you can find the young plants and these seeds for many of them (and more) on our website.
Ready to dream bigger in 2025? Explore our event and floral design services and our curated selection of seeds, and young plants and start the year growing something new: harecurated.co.za

REVIEWS
Darkness falls on the night…and the full impact of Erique’s amazing event design becomes apparent.
Again, our thanks for arranging such a magnificent 60th birthday event for my darling wife. Your suggestions for caterers and barmen were right on the mark. And then to top it off you managed all suppliers with ease, and you styled the events with breathing, inspiration for my wife and our guests. Many are still talking of that great winter night in our front garden where not one sole realised that we were in the midst of winter We were all warm and toasty in our marque enveloped with beautiful décor, floral design and table setting and surrounded by laughter with friends and family to feast, drink, and celebrate this momentous moment.
THANK YOU for making this so memorable.

Erique, your suggestion towards my 40th birthday made my birthday memorable. Not just to me but to all of my friends, family and some of my close colleagues that I work with. You stepped in a few weeks before and you assisted me in tying up loose ends and making sure everything stayed on track at a moment when I thought it was all going to fall apart. You have excellent budget-saving ideas and know where and how to create an impact that will have my guests feeling like this was a celebration and special moment. You assisted me and styled a remarkable event. Your eye for colour and detail is phenomenal. I am so grateful to you for guiding me and then styling my 40th birthday party.

How can we thank you for all your tireless wonder? You took our requests and ideas fleshed them out and guided us through your creative process to a place of magic. You turned our venue into something completely different. You gave us whimsical elegance within our budget.
What marvels me most is how you dealt with one or two issues that could have possibly become an anti-climax to our event and with utter ease you diverted and came up with solutions on the day when the venue could not fulfil its mandate even though you were not contracted to deal with it you stepped in and made a plan for us with one of your vendors who on short notice assisted you and that speaks volumes of the relationship you have with your team and vendors.
You and your team executed the days before and the actual day with precision and left us with nothing wanting. A huge thank you from me and Dave for a magical event, beautifully put together.

The most insane dahlias by Erique Swart of @harecurated for my better half’s birthday lunch yesterday. I doubt I could capture the colours or the enormity of these beauties in a single pic, but I will try…

Dearest Erique, once again we could rely on you to create another gorgeous event for our family, and for Neil’s 70th birthday.
Our front lawn in Melrose Estate once again was transformed into a space where friends and family came together for a luncheon with exquisite food, (as per your recommendation) via Olives and Plates, your décor, table setting, floral designs for the tables and our various space, the entertainment and of course your idea of having a bespoke gin bar from Thrust just made the luncheon and afternoon a perfect celebration. You worked with our theme, created a colour palette, and helped me finetune the menu from canapes to sit-down lunch, later a cheese board and topping it off with a birthday cake in Neil's favourite taste profile (Carrot Cake) supplied by Olives and Plates.
As always you made sure everything was in place and on time. You wrangled all the vendors and added your decorative ambience perfectly suited to the occasion and setting. As always, our guests enjoyed themselves and had much to say about the event and their enjoyment.
This is your 3rd event for us (my 60th, Bianca’s and Oliver’s engagement party and now Neil’s 70th) – Thank You, each of these has been amazing!

Hare Curated was brought in at the last minute for our company's 50th anniversary function, and they exceeded all expectations. Despite the event being planned on short notice and with a limited budget, Erique and his team at Hare Curated were incredibly helpful and willing to assist. Erique demonstrated remarkable creativity by utilising items we already had at the venue, which helped us stay within budget while still creating a festive atmosphere for our 140 guests. The transformation of our office space into a vibrant event venue was stunning, thanks to his personal touches and unique ideas. Erique and his team handled the entire setup seamlessly, requiring little to no input from me. Their professionalism and efficiency were truly impressive. Thank you again, Hare Curated, for your amazing service. We couldn't have asked for a better experience.

We had the pleasure of using Hare Curated for our wedding day, where they really overdelivered with their incredible service and communication. We had incredible beautiful flowers for the day, delivered to the venue and were left with clear instructions on how to keep them fresh for the entire day. We can highly recommend them for your events and special moments.

Thank you very much for jumping in when we reached out to you. In less than a week at the height of event season, you pulled an intimate nuptials together for 20 guests; with stunning floral design and a tablescape and decor for our ceremony, reception and on top of that you put in a word to one of your catering vendors "Olive's & Plates" to come and create gastronomic wonder for our guests. I can not thank you enough.
It was a resounding success! "Obrigado por tudo ❤". Thank you, ever so kindly sire, thank you, thank you for making it so special. Erique and Tamzozo’s the dream team, performing secular miracles out here. Much love to you both from Mrs Solomons and me ❤❤.

Erique's flowers are nothing short of spectacular. His dahlias are some of the most vibrant and lush blooms I’ve ever seen, each one grown with incredible care and attention to detail. The quality is undeniable—fresh, long-lasting, and full of life.
Beyond just growing stunning flowers, Erique has an incredible eye for style. His floral arrangements are effortlessly elegant, with a refined sense of color and texture that makes every bouquet or event installation feel truly special. Whether for a simple arrangement or a large-scale event, his work always carries a signature touch of artistry and sophistication.
If you're looking for premium blooms and an event stylist who understands beauty in every detail, Erique is the one to trust. His passion for flowers shines through in everything he creates.
