Edwin & Nick

Our Lord in the Attic Museum, Amsterdam

I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Edwin Oudshoorn, a renowned Dutch fashion designer and couturier, and have collaborated with him on several styled shoots in the past. When he and his partner, Nick, asked me to create the flowers for their wedding, I was absolutely thrilled! This wasn’t just any wedding, it was a chance to collaborate with another creative mind, a true artist. Edwin is known for his boundless creativity and impeccable taste, and working together was a thoughtfully curated experience. The three of us, Edwin, Nick, and myself, worked closely to carefully select the perfect flowers that reflected their desired style: natural, botanical, wild, yet elegantly refined. One intriguing challenge came with the historic church venue, a 17th-century protected monument in the heart of Amsterdam, which also functions as a museum. Fresh flowers were not allowed inside, so we embarked on a creative solution: designing silk flowers that looked just like fresh ones. I’m delighted to say our efforts were a success, and the illusion of fresh blooms was beautifully achieved.

Colour Palette: a daring mix of white, yellow, peach, lavender, purples, and pinks;

Style: a captivating blend of natural, artistic, and elegant elements, with botanical influences;

"Dear Katya,

What you have made for our wedding is just incredible! Every floral piece was exquisite, and wonder over wonder, an incredible spring feeling, even in October! Exactly what we wanted but did not dare hope for because of the time of year.
We are so incredibly grateful to you that it is hard to express it in words. We have had such a wonderful day full of love and sit now in a sort of afterglow.

Many, MANY thanks.

Nick & Edwin"
