About the Author

Flowers are more than our craft--they are our passion, art, and commitment to beauty. From the start, we have transformed floral design with unique experiences that go beyond giving flowers. Each flower conveys a message, evokes emotions, and captures moments. A bouquet can express love, a hug, celebration, or comfort. We carefully select and combine flowers to tell stories through every composition. We work with the seasons, using the finest flowers of each time of year. Every detail, from selection to presentation, enhances the unique emotional power of flowers.
