Shane Sipolis

Co-Owner and Venue Manager

If you’ve been stalking us on Instagram, you might have spotted a grinning guy hiding behind some flowers—yep, that’s me! I’m Shane, and I’ve been in the floral and event industry for over 20 years. Those who know me would say I like to colour outside the lines; others might call me a little eclectic. But whatever you call it, I call it passionate. I’ve been lucky to witness firsthand how the right design can transform an event, and there’s nothing quite like seeing the grinning faces of my clients when they walk into a space I’ve helped create.

Before co-founding Edward.S, I spent 15 years running Botanics of Melbourne, where I gained invaluable experience in the wedding and events industry. From designing stunning floral arrangements to curating the perfect atmosphere for everything from intimate weddings to grand corporate functions, I’ve built a reputation for creating memorable, bespoke events. I also co-founded Edward & Tea, an event styling and planning business where I combined my passion for design with my love of crafting seamless, unforgettable experiences.

At Edward.S, we bring that same level of creativity and attention to detail to every event. Whether you’re on the hunt for an event-ture or simply want to explore how we can turn your vision into something spectacular, let’s chat and see how we can make your next event truly one-of-a-kind.
