For many years I enjoyed working with live, flowering plants as a hobby. I have always been fascinated by their variety of colors, fragrances, shapes, and how flowers can be both very simple and amazingly complicated at the same time. Once at the end of a long and tiring day, I visited a large flower market. Surrounded by beautiful blossoms, in peace and enchantment, I was soon fully recharged. This experience inspired me to bring this wonder to other people to enjoy through my own floral designs and creations - so, Keep On Blooming Boutique was born.
There are many ways to bring the joy and peace of flowers into one’s home or office, from a casual collection of hand-picked wildflowers, fresh flowers cut from one’s own garden, a nice mixed bunch of flowers purchased at a farmer’s market or grocery store, bouquets bought from an interstate company and delivered locally, and custom-crafted individual arrangements designed personally for the giver or the recipient.
Floral arrangements crafted by a creative designer using selected fresh and often unusual blossoms matched to an occasion or personality is not easy work based on template guidelines. It requires both artistic sensitivity as well as knowledge of practical considerations such as the requirements to keep fresh flowers fresh as long as possible and how to best match their use as individual parts of an overall design to the geometry and physical structure of vases, boxes, or baskets.
This rare type of floral art is not a commodity, it’s a rare luxury item appropriate for the most meaningful times in a person’s life, whether they are happy or sad and the flowers are intended for celebration or to be comforting, peace-giving, or life-affirming. Like the most beautiful and rare blossoms, this quality art is rarely available by dialing 1-800. The best place to discover such gems is with a talented local artist whose specialty is communicating eloquently through flowers – like Keep On Blooming Boutique.
