Monumental flower sculptures for weddings, galas and grand houses. Each one a single piece, made for a single evening.
Each piece is drawn by hand, built to scale by specialist sculptors, then dressed bloom by bloom and feather by feather for one place and one evening.
How a sculpture comes to life, stage by stage.
