Why I Became a Wedding Florist in France
Being a wedding florist lets me capture the magic of love in a way that’s personal and meaningful. For me, flowers are more than just decorations; they’re a form of expression that celebrates the unique love story of each couple. Every wedding I work on is an opportunity to create something special, something that reflects the couple’s personalities and dreams. It’s a privilege to help couples mark one of the most significant days of their lives, and I strive to make every arrangement, bouquet, and installation as unique and memorable as the love story it represents.
