What designing flowers do to me

“It’s very fulfilling when you create something beautiful because I am working with beauty and nature. It’s like a purpose, you’re serving and you’re providing quality flowers in a reasonable price. I try to bring flowers to everyday people,” says Van Der Meer when asked about what designing flowers do to her. The three things that she considers when she does a floral arrangement are texture, colour and harmony. The right balance of the three allows for appropriate blending of the arranged bouquet. Van Der Meer further adds she enjoys the creative freedom of being a florist.
