Flower Arrangement Ideas

I created this site to share my flower journey and help those who are looking for information, flower arrangement ideas and floral resources.

In 1986 I started my first flower venture (Flower Dreams) in Florida USA and reside in Ft Lauderdale now.

What I love the most about working with flowers, is the creative process of designing.

Creativity truly fulfills one's soul.

A side of my work is in the fresh floral business and I will share wedding floral arrangements, floral centerpieces ideas, and my floral network.

I also pioneered the USA permanent botanical because I feel in love with dried flowers back in 1976, and still today I am involved in decorating with artificial flowers, artificial trees and the latest real preserved fresh flowers and greens coming out in the market.

If you are considering to go into the flower business, I have resources for public wholesale florists, flower growers and flower importers to purchase from at the best price and tips how to start or purchase a flower business.

If you want to learn how to make your own flower arrangement, fresh or permanent, several floral designers offer classes in Ft. Lauderdale Florida or in Miami.

Please enjoy your flower stop and do not hesitate to contact me.

Have a great day!

Flower Styles

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

With this maxim in mind, we can appreciate learning of different design styles.

From modern flower arrangements to traditional. From the East, the West and Down Under.

Modern Flower Style.

Even though only a few flower designers will ever achieve a world wide fame, there are master designers within our midst. In every town there are great floral designers.

In my flower journey I marveled at the unique creations I observed.

This website is about my 30 years flower journey. Ideas, resources, wisdom and mistakes.

The Flower market has gone through drastic changes. In today's economic crisis, only the few and the smart will survive. I hope you find my tips valuable.

If you are considering starting a floral business I am writing the starting a flower business guide to prevent you costly mistakes when purchasing or starting a floral business.
