Love blooms year-round at Stamford florist - The Advocate
Sunday, February 28, 2021Cluceru.The ceremony took place, not in a cathedral or a temple or on a beach in Acapulco, but inside a flower shop in Stamford, just blocks away from the Government Center. Cluceru is also a florist, and conducting weddings in-store is just another part of her business, like selling roses and arranging bouquets. Except that Cluceru, who has owned Nobu Florist with her husband for over 20 years, doesn't quite see it that way. In the two years since she's been officiating weddings at Nobu, it hasn't necessarily boosted her sales of flowers, although brides-to-be often find her through wedding websites and blogs. Some of the clients who marry in her shop do purchase their flowers for the occasion from Nobu, but many don't. Some even bring their own with them. "I love it," Cluceru said. "Every single wedding I do, I almost cry, even though I've said it a million times." Many of the ceremonies performed at Nobu are arranged at the last minute, for a variety of reasons, whether personal or political, Cluceru said. While performing the ceremony, Cluceru choses words that emphasize the importance of respect, integrity, honor and equality in marriage. She has just one piece of advice: it's better not to get married on Val... https://www.stamfordadvocate.com/news/article/Love-blooms-year-round-at-Stamford-florist-5233785.php
Star French florist weathers pandemic - FRANCE 24
Sunday, February 28, 2021Brussels (AFP) There was a time, pre-pandemic, that Thierry Boutemy's flowery creations graced catwalks, magazine covers and celebrity weddings.Now, of course, the French florist -- who has worked for Sofia Coppola, Lady Gaga and the fashion house Hermes -- is having to weather the crisis like anyone else.But his passion for petals has not withered.For more than 25 years, Boutemy has run his boutique in Brussels, a cob-walled den where Italian poppies, Dutch hellebores and tulips from the south of France perfume the air.All are imported -- "Belgium doesn't produce anything in winter," he says -- but they are all blooming, alive, from soil, free from chemicals and of verified provenance.That attention to detail and devotion to nature means Boutemy sources most of his plants from small growers discovered on the sidelines of the Royal FloraHolland Auction House -- the biggest in the world -- in the Dutch city of Aalsmeer, near Amsterdam."That market is a disaster," he told AFP."It's an industry-scale war machine that works like a poultry battery farm. It's full-on commercialism," he said, describing a technique used by some to colour flowers by soaking them in dye."Instead of buying a bunch of flowers at a supermarket check-out, it's better to buy a single flower for three euros," he argued, complaining how horticulturists are being squeezed by the sector's industrialisation.- No 'fashion fl... https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20210222-star-french-florist-weathers-pandemic
