Perhaps, poetically speaking. What I do know is ever since I was a baby, photo’s of me always contained a flower either in my hand or strategically placed somewhere near me. I was either picking one of eating one. I grew up in a family that planted roses and dahlias, so I guess my love for flowers came from family. I have grown from admiring flowers, to growing them to arranging them for myself and friends to becoming a qualified flower designer.

I have loved all these stages but none more than where I am now, helping brides to make their wedding flower dreams come true. I find myself in this very lucky position to do what I love and for that I want to thank my husband for his unwavering support in good and bad days leading up to establishing a business to be proud of and for my mother and grandfather for my flower-veins, I am extremely lucky to have grown up in your gardens.

I was pushed into the flower and wedding business rather than choosing it. Mom found out she had breast cancer two days before a wedding while busy arranging flowers. She pushed flowers into my hands and arms and told me to finish the arrangements, please. I was in my final exams at Uni, finishing a B-Com degree and never thought that flowers would be my destiny. It turns out that I loved working with them! While Mom is still the creative director, we make a great flower team and I get to use my business degree to run and administrate our business.

I am responsible for ordering new stock, meeting with clients to name a few of my responsibilities. I am also a photographer and run a mobile spray tanning salon using organic Vita Liberata products. While I might not have chosen this career path I believe that everything happens for a reason and that I am definitely living my destiny and the more I grow into this business that is flowers and pretty things, the more I love it.
