Anything else you’d like to share with Flirty Fleurs followers?
If you aspire to become a floral designer, you need to start and work for a good year in a floral design house so you can see if it is a career you are truly passionate about.
I am excited that L’Olivier is opening a new downtown ephemeral boutique at Brookfield Place. We are partnering with Dümmen Orange, a world leader in flower breeding and are featuring a new Brookfield “Grab and Go” collection as well as our Cuir Vegetal scented candle and gift set and Living Art.
