Susanne & Jordi

Waldorf Astoria, Amsterdam

Susanne remains one of my cherished clients, a true source of inspiration with impeccable taste. When she shared her vision for her wedding dinner table decoration, a concept where flowers seemingly "grow" from the table, I eagerly embraced the challenge. Drawing from the artistry of Japanese ikebana, I arranged an array of exquisite Dutch and French spring flowers within small ceramic vessels, seamlessly woven together using the Japanese Kenzan technique.

For Susanne's wedding bouquet, she had her heart set on cascading tulips, a request that posed its own challenges due to their delicate, soft stems prone to breakage. To bring this vision to life, I sourced the finest French tulips from the renowned Aalsmeer flower market, conveniently located just a brief 30-minute drive from Amsterdam. With meticulous care, I arranged these tulips in a cascading manner, defying expectations as they remained resilient and flawless throughout the day.

For the ceremony, we decorated the garden of one of Amsterdam's most captivating canal houses, the Museum Van Loon, with premium Dutch ranunculus, delicate ranunculus butterflies and an array of splendid spring blooms, including my personal favourite, sweet peas. The evening at the Waldorf Astoria was a highlight of this unforgettable day, culminating in a dinner that exuded the essence of elegance and beauty.
