Ensure that your event flowers will continue to delight your guests long after the party is over.

Imagine small, hand-tied bouquets elegantly placed on tables. These arrangements, initially set with flowers and candles, can be taken home by your guests. This thoughtful gesture not only reduces waste, but also adds beauty and happiness to your event.

Please see the carousel for examples,

Classic White Bouquets: These are pre-made, hand-tied bouquets placed in vases. Simple yet sophisticated, they add a touch of elegance to any setting.

Gzhel-inspired vases: Tall stems arranged in blue and white vases inspired by traditional Gzhel art. This design makes it easy for guests to take the flowers home.

Mono Flower Compositions: Single flowers or minimalist compositions in small vases. Guests can choose as many as they like, making these arrangements easy to transport and share.

The main idea is to use tall stems or simple flowers that are easy to pick up. Everything is neatly arranged so that guests can easily take the flowers home.

If you wish, we can distribute the compositions with their vases, or we can mix different types of arrangements on the tables to ensure that everything can be taken home.

We would love to help you create the wedding of your dreams!

Behind the Flowers: The Invisible Work of a Florist

Many people have a misconception about florists. They think of them as individuals who simply arrange flowers into beautiful bouquets: tie them up and wrap them elegantly. And that's it; that's the job, right?
I'll admit, I used to think the same way when I first started out on my journey as a florist. But the reality is far from that

A florist is someone who gets up at the crack of dawn, around 4-5 am, to go to the flower market or a supplier. The purchases need to be brought to the studio, and let me tell you, it's not just about picking up ready-made bouquets. We're talking about boxes of flowers from Ecuador or elsewhere, each of which has to be meticulously prepared for composition

Every single flower has to be unpacked, cleaned, stems trimmed, petals treated, and placed in water—warm or cold—depending on when and where the event takes place and the condition of the flower. And there are thousands of flowers in a single arrangement that need to be treated individually

Also we must wash each vase by hand and sterilize each vase with an antibacterial solution to make sure the flowers are in clean water, free of any bacteria that could spoil them.

Then, we need to arrange everything in the studio, allowing the flowers to fully bloom and showcase their beauty. And let's not forget the tidying up - boxes, packaging, flower debris, and more.

Then there is assembling the composition, and carefully securing everything to prevent any mishaps during the event. This can take hours and hours, and transportation adds another layer of complexity.

Once at the venue, adjustments may need to be made, and then there's the cleanup! And that is not all!

Imagine, the event ends past midnight, and you're out there to disassemble compositions, sorting flowers, and cleaning up again! And you can't just throw the flowers away; they have to be disposed of properly. Fortunately, there are companies that collect flowers after events, dry the petals, and send them for reuse

In brief, behind every beautiful composition lies hours of work and clean-up, clean-up, clean-up!

Let's talk about the florists who light up my creative world and inspire me to reach new heights in floristy. Here is my list:

Dmitry Trukan : From humble beginnings as a kiosk florist to owning a prestigious school in Milan, Dmitry's journey is nothing short of inspiring. His emphasis on simplicity, honing our observation skills and practising on simple materials and flowers resonates deeply with me.

Larry Walshe : Larry's ability to infuse luxury, posh and sophistication into his floral designs is truly remarkable. His work exudes elegance and timelessness, setting a high standard for floral artistry.

IRIS Florists from Romania : What sets IRIS apart is their willingness to push boundaries and explore new ideas fearlessly. Their openness to innovation and sharing insights makes them a constant source of inspiration for me.

Watarai Toru and Tumbler&FLOWERS : The simplicity and elegance of Japanese floral artistry, as exemplified by Watarai Toru, never fail to captivate me. Behind the seemingly effortless arrangements lies a wealth of knowledge, experience, and vision.

These are just a few of the incredible talents that continue to shape and elevate the world of floristry. Who are the florists that inspire you? Share your favorites in the comments below!

Why don't florists tell me the price right away?

You've got Pinterest images, examples from the florist's portfolio, so why can't they just give you a price on the spot and instead they go off to calculate? Frustrating, isn't it?

Let's look at why this happens.

Every bride has her own unique vision, not only for the arrangements, but also for the specific flowers she wants to see - or definitely doesn't want to see. There's also a budget, sometimes flexible, sometimes non-negotiable.

So a professional event florist has to take all these factors into account: not just the cost of the flowers, which can vary depending on whether they're exotic or seasonal, how rare they are, and so on, but also the complexity of the arrangement, the budget constraints and the man-hours required to bring it all to life, while striking a balance between cost and desired result.

Finding that balance takes time. We rely on a Bride's Questionnaire to fully understand your needs and bring your dream wedding to life within your budget. The better the questionnaire is completed by the bride, with examples of what she wants and her budget, the more effectively we can offer an optimal solution that balances desire, reality and cost.

We strive to be as transparent as possible in our communication and to offer you the most advantageous conditions to stay within your budget and make your day unforgettable. Our aim is to maximise beauty within the given budget. On average, it takes about 7 days to get a budget.

So if you're ready to embark on this journey together and turn your vision into a stunning reality, let's get together for a consultation. Together we can create an event that is truly magical and unforgettable.

Seasonal floral beauty

When it comes to creating a memorable atmosphere at a wedding or other important event, the choice of flowers plays a key role. That's why I always advise my clients to consider seasonal flowers.

Seasonal flowers bring a natural beauty that reflects the magic of the season. They are grown and bloomed under optimal conditions, making them particularly fresh, bright and attractive. If your bouquet and decorations are made up of seasonal plants, you can be sure they will look beautiful throughout the event.

It is also economically beneficial. They often cost less than exotic flowers brought from far away. This will help save your budget without sacrificing the quality and beauty of the floral arrangements.

Seasonal flowers also offer a wide range of options, allowing you to choose flowers that match your style and event theme. Whether it's bright summer buds or subtle autumnal hues, you're sure to find something to suit your taste.
