Irresistibly colourful and alluring, flowers are the charming accessories that nature adorns itself with. And these amazing 6 Floral Artists have found a way to respectfully mould this delicate beauty of flowers into artistic arrangements, in order to amplify their intrinsic qualities while granting them new context and structure.

“Floristry has taught me patience, how to marry colours together and it has allowed me to experiment with different mediums to make visually challenging arrangements. It has taught me that there is never a right or wrong way to do things and to use the power of flowers to make myself and others happy.”

“My niche in the floral world is formed due to a passion for all things dried, as the look just appealed to me years ago and I’m over the moon that it has become very acceptable to sell ‘dead flowers’ even for the use in bridal bouquets. The key is to make dead flowers look alive with tones and textures. The look I mostly do is feminine but earthy and usually pretty unorganized.”

“Most of all I let myself be inspired by the flowers and twigs from my garden, from nature, or the flowers from the flowers market. I have a collection of vases and different containers. And I try to arrange the flowers and twig searching for the best design. Certainly, I apply the rules of Sogetsu, learned from my teachers. Sometimes I feel the flowers are arranging by themselves; I feel that I’m only a “tool” for an inspiration coming from somewhere, which is astonishing even for me!”

“My designs are based on nature and how flowers grow with colour combinations being key to creating a mood. I work as sustainably as possible, without floral foam and I try to source locally grown flowers. There has been a resurgence of British grown flowers which is fantastic as they have such a beautiful garden feel with their bendy twisty stems and delicate scent.”

“My designs are more wild and whimsical than most. I pay a lot of attention to nuances in colour, lines, texture, and shape. I truly believe the uniqueness and beauty of a piece lies in how the little dainty details have been arranged and I truly relish in the placement and use of these.”

“Inspired by nature, my style is organic, informal and wildly romantic. I always try to arrange flowers with a single thought in mind that when people look at them, they are able to feel the flowers growing in my work by themselves, just like in a garden. The lines in flowers are not straight, but whimsical and almost dancing. They look at you, they speak to you and they want to tell you their stories…”
