Flower Compositions That Actually Last

Fresh arrangements for moments that matter, dried designs for memories you want to keep

We've been arranging flowers in Baku since 2022, and honestly? Most people don't realize how much thought goes into a good composition. It's not just about throwing pretty blooms together—there's color theory, seasonal availability, and understanding what actually holds up in our climate. We source locally when possible, work with international suppliers when we need something specific, and always test preservation techniques before offering them to clients.

What We Actually Do With Flowers

  • Event Arrangements

    Wedding ceremonies, corporate gatherings, private celebrations. We handle the logistics—delivery timing, setup coordination, climate considerations. One wedding last August taught us that hydrangeas need constant misting in Baku's summer heat, so now we always bring backup blooms.

  • Dried Preservation Work

    Bridal bouquets, anniversary flowers, meaningful gifts. The drying process takes three to six weeks depending on the flower type. Roses hold color better than tulips, peonies need careful handling. We've preserved over two hundred bouquets since we started offering this service.

  • Personal Space Designs

    Home arrangements, office installations, monthly subscriptions. Some clients want weekly fresh deliveries, others prefer quarterly dried updates. We adapt to light conditions, space constraints, and personal style preferences. Nobody wants flowers that clash with their furniture.

Isolde Vance

Preservation Specialist

Developed our current drying methods through extensive testing in 2023. Background in botanical conservation, which explains the meticulous approach. Handles all preservation consultations and teaches clients proper care for dried arrangements. Recently experimented with resin preservation techniques.

How We Work With Clients

Initial consultation happens by phone or email—we need to understand the occasion, budget range, color preferences, and any flower allergies. For events, we visit the venue when possible because photos never capture lighting accurately. Custom orders need at least two weeks notice, though we've pulled off rush jobs when suppliers cooperate. Preservation requests should come within three days of the event while flowers are still fresh.
