Flower Arrangement Ideas

Welcome

I created Flower Arrangement Ideas to share my flower journey and help those who want to start their own flower business. I love the creative process of designing with flowers.

The work of the floral designer challenges your inner creativity and allures those seeking to become one.

In 1986 I started my first flower venture (Flower Dreams) in Florida USA. The flower mood was "Victorian" and dried flowers were the Floral Vogue.

With talented floral designer Keiko Nakamura, we imported dried flowers from Holland and created original dried floral designs.

Today I create custom floral arrangements with artificial silk flowers and real preserved fresh flowers.

Thanks to Joy's Florist in FT Lauderdale I will share wedding floral arrangement ideas, wedding floral centerpieces ideas and wedding planner resources.

The flower business is not easy. If you are considering starting a florist business, I wrote on the subject including my favorite florist business guide to purchase.

Have a great day!

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