If you have to choose one single word to describe flower designer Emily Avenson, it would definitely be enthusiastic. Born and raised in the outskirts of San Francisco, she moved to rural Belgium in the early 2000s, after falling in love with a Dutch guy. She still feels the same excitement as she did the very first day she arrived. "Belgian countryside is so lush and green – a completely different world compared to dry California. I’ve always been fascinated by flowers, but this is where I began working with them." The occasion was her wedding. She had already started growing fruits and vegetables in her in-laws vegetable garden, but when she decided to get married, she was determined to do her own flowers, starting from seeds. "I chose the most basic and easy ones: cosmos, sweet peas and nigellas. I enjoyed the process so much that from then on, I was hooked!"
