Marloes wedding bouquet
1) Where/ When to buy flowers?Two days before the wedding took place I bought the flowers at the Aalsmeers flower auction market.
2) How to treat them?
Placed the flowers in clean buckets, removed the leaves ( no leaves in the water to avoid bacteria grow) Wrapped the flowers in newspapers to help them water uptake. Placed them in a cool dark room for few hours.
3) How to start making the waterfall bouquet ?
Clean table and day light is essential for me. And a big mirror to check the waterfall bouquet outline from different view point. Clean the stems, remove the leaves till the binding point. Massage and trim the materials in a natural waterfall shape. Place layer over layer like a real waterfall.
4) How to bind the bouquet- rope/tape?
Spiral technique has one binding point – I used natural rope. Clear tape is also a good option to fix the binding point.
5) How to use ribbon – pins?
The handle I covert with ribbon – same color as her wedding dress and fixed it with 3 pins.
6) How width the ribbon handle should be?
The handle should be the size of the brides hand, in case she wear gloves – that should not become dirty.
7) How to keep the flowers fresh one day?
This is a hand tied bouquet what can be placed in water during the day, and I used special coating spray to keep the bouquet fresh for one day.
8) How to take a photo?
After finishing I always taking photos – very important for my own record – using daylight and one color background. And I asked Marloes if she can send me some professional photos that I can use on my SNS. Lucky 🍀 she did send me!!!

Mother’s day in The Netherlands 🇳🇱 & Japan
Dear Flower LoverEven in our bed room you could find pot plants ready to sell in our flower shop for Mothe’s day.
Mother’s day is the No.1 busiest day of the year🌱.
When I was 6 years old I ask the florist: what can I buy for my mama and show her my savings ( I had only 50 cent=30 yen. )
Proud with a plant full with flowers I stepped out of the shop 😊.
With Mother’s day we give flowers 💐, flower bouquet, pot plant. All kinds of flowers all kinds of pot plants. This is so different than in 🇯🇵 Japan where the red Dianthus are popular.
With Mother’s day we visit our mother and give her flowers and other presents 🎁.
As for me I live in japan 🇯🇵 I ask my friend to deliver flowers to my mother in the Netherlands.
Flowers are in our daily life, many people buy every Saturday fresh flowers for enjoy the weekend. It’s our culture:)
Let’s enjoy the flower power !!!
Love and appreciation to all Mothers 🙏🌹🙏🌹🇳🇱❤️🇯🇵

Restore your energy
Dear Flower loverDo you enjoy green pot plants?
Can you feel their energy?
One of the trend in the Netherlands are green pot plants.
In the Aalsmeer Flower market there is a big variety of green
pot plants available.
In big office buildings like banks, libraries and other public
spaces, you can find many big green pot plants indoor.
This pot plants are doing a great job; cleaning the air,
especially near your PC, and the workers are feeling
less stress and are less absent due to illness.
Do you have a pot plant in your office?
Let’s enjoy the greens.
Love from Gouda, Dorien

‘Paper touch’ Hydrangea
Dear Flower loverHow are you?
I went to Aalsmeer Flower action market, and bought very nice
materials for our new “Dorien’s Trendy Workshop”.
I also saw many fresh Hortensia flowers ready for export to Japan.
The Dutch Hydrangea is popular in Japan, because of the nice
colors and they last very long.
If the flowers feel like ‘paper’ you can enjoy them a long time.
As you may know from my video; Hydrangea flowers has the most
strongest energy. Nice to refresh and exchange “give and take”
your energy with this powerful Flower.
Have a relaxing Sunday.
Love from me in the green nature. Dorien

HOOI BOUWEN
Dear Flower loverHow are you? It is typical Dutch weather here in the Netherlands
sunny and suddenly shower rains.
A few days great weather then the farmers harvesting the straw – “hooi bouwen”.
Food for the cows in winter, and for flower designers to make wreaths.
The smell is like in heaven. Feeling so much home here in the middle of nature,
green all over. Like Hokkaido, cows, sheep, birds I love it.
Enjoy your moment;
Enjoy the smell of a Rosa
Enjoy a cup of tea
Enjoy your favorite food
Enjoy walking
Enjoy a singing bird.
Love from Gouda with gratitude.

177 “GET WELL” cards
I got 177 “GET WELL” cardsMama Ria tells me with a happy face! 177 !! She is counting them.
My mother got a minor stroke in June and her friends and family
are keep sending her many flower bouquets and get well cards.
This flower power and warm heart messages cards gives her
encouragement to do her best with her rehabilitation program.
Mama Ria is doing fine and makes little progress every day.
I am grateful to be with her and we enjoyed the home made cake
and listening (I danced) to her favorite music from Andre Rieu.
I am focusing on that we can do; eat, drink, smell,cry, smile, listen
and sing all together.
Love from Gouda with gratitude.
