Flowers have been used throughout history in symbolism, celebration, ritual, decoration, and mourning. Flowers have been cast in every culture. Each having their own specific and meaningful part. Ancient cultures across the world have started the modern day obsession to have a beautiful piece of the natural world in special moments in our lives.

The goal of a true florist is to create an ambiance, a mood, that brings the event to life by adding natural beauty to complete that moment. Creating an atmosphere that reflects the personality of two people, or completion of a theme in an event is the art of a florist. Just as a painting or photograph is art and captures a moment in time, a bouquet of flowers can create that feeling, whether on the kitchen table or a sculpted vase in a hotel. The art within nature is astounding. It never ceases to amaze me how simple a single flower can be, yet at the same time, it can overwhelm the senses.
