Tell us about your flowers and what’s so special about them? Put simply our flowers are REAL and can last for upto a YEAR. We are the pioneers in employing technology to enhance the plant structure of the world’s finest premium quality roses to create our Miracle Bloom™.
DECEMBER 03, 2017 | 51
What flower describes your personality the most ? I don’t think anyone has a single faceted personality. The rose is the only flower that’s able to represent a spectrum of characteristics and thoughts through the variation in its hues. So the rose for sure.
weekend | Fashion
What inspired you to start this business? We wanted to change the game. Flowers are usually seen as an add on, so we wanted to marry our design with technology to transform them into collection pieces. Thereby providing a revolutionary ONE-OF-A-KIND floral experience that leaves an unforgettable impression.
What is your creative process? With a modern Parisian design ethos in mind we skillfully put together arrangements to the client’s aesthetic and exact specifications. Our client consultation is key to crafting bespoke arrangements that are luxurious, elegant and incredibly personalised.
DECEMBER 03, 2017 | 52
Where do you see yourself going with Botaniqué in the future? Botaniqué is celebrated for its modern and avant garde style and we hope to keep that at the core of all our work. All our future endeavours promise to push the envelope, and in fact we have a few surprises coming your way next year. Saying anymore might let the cat out of the bag too soon :)
