What inspired me to take this path in floristry is the impact the flowers had on me on my own special wedding day. I planned my wedding day in the UK, however it took place in South Africa. So as you can imagine, it was quite a difficult task. I had this image in my mind and explained to the wedding planner as much as possible what I had in mind. Three weeks before my wedding day, I arrived in South Africa and had to get straight into the final meetings. The first meeting was the florist and I was so nervous! My theme was cream and purple, so a very classic and romantic atmosphere and rather dramatic come to think of it.
I said to them the main flowers I wanted in my displays was Picasso Calla Lillies and Roses (white, cream, shades of pink). And when I came to the meeting with my florist in South Africa. These were the final results:
So as you can imagine I was absolutely over the moon with these! I instantly felt reassured about my special day and knew that even though I was on the other side of the world almost, all the people involved with my special day knew exactly what I meant in my e-mails!
One day, I would love to give another special person this feeling. Reassure their worries and make them feel excited about their day, I would like their flowers to be absolutely mind blowing on their special day.
