Violets and Velvet

Flowers should provoke memories with the scents reminding us of certain people, places and times. As a child dahlias were my favorite flower and still are. I would go to the local greengrocers to buy a bunch for my room. They were always tied with wool. Being a florist is more than a job for me. I didn’t start out as one, although it was always there in the back of my mind, my plan B. I believe you take a bit of knowledge from every job you do and my background in costume and textiles has definitely given me some skills that I use when designing floral arrangements. Flowers play such a huge part in so many celebrations. Wedding flowers should always be personal and I will always start with your ideas when designing the flowers.
