MARIA SOLOMINA
Florist
Hi! I'm Maria, a florist from Ukraine, deeply in love with what I do. Flowers are not just my job, they're my passion: I grow some of them right in my own backyard, watching every bud from the first sprout to full bloom.
For over three years I've been creating arrangements that express what words cannot. But just as important to me is working with people. I love getting to know each person, gently revealing their character the way spring coaxes a flower open. Because only then does a bouquet truly become yours.
In my free time, I enjoy visiting museums and art exhibitions with friends who inspire and support my creativity. I also practice yoga, swim regularly, and, of course, tend to my small backyard garden, where my passion for flowers truly blossoms.
FAQs
I love transforming a random bunch of stems into a finished, harmonious arrangement. There’s something magical about taking what looks like a chaotic mix of flowers and creating something beautiful and complete.
It’s hard to choose just one! I adore peonies and Hot Spot roses for their divine fragrance — working with them turns the whole process into a true pleasure. And gerberas never stop amazing me with their shapes and incredible variety of colours — it feels like discovering them for the first time, every time.
I love being part of people’s joy and their special moments. Knowing that an arrangement I created became part of someone’s birthday, wedding, or other meaningful occasion makes the work truly rewarding.
My love for flowers has always been there. I was drawn to the idea that you can take something natural and turn it into a real work of art that brings joy to people.
My favourite bouquets are the ones that start as a seemingly random mix of flowers and come together into a complete, cohesive arrangement. That transformation is what inspires me the most.
