So she did at THE BLOOM ROOM her new but flourishing flower studio in Colaba,Mumbai.This is the space where one walks to the world of flowers that they never knew existed before.
” What has always been of utmost importance to me when it comes to working with flowers has been flower quality- to be able to ensure this.I carry out my own sourcing with many morning spent at the flower market. Also, it’s at this point that the arrangements and colour combination is created in my head.” said ZINA MODY
Here are some top tips for home floral arrangements or even setting up a flower corner at home–
1. Ensure you always buy the freshest quality available and cluster your flower vases with other artifacts and candles.
2. Do not buy flowers on the day of your event or occasion. The day before allows your flower to come home and be rehydrated! Buy liliums in as much of a bud form as possible. Do not buy white roses in bud form as in my experience.
3.Never let foliage be below the water level in the vase.
