A propos

Hello,
My name is Audrey and I've been a florist for 10 years.
I started my career as a nurse in a cardiac intensive care unit, then in pediatric oncology.
My first job was my first passion. I loved the healthcare world and I really needed to understand it. It's like a part of me and it helps me keep my eyes fixed on the reality.

But as you know, It can sometimes be a very demanding job. That's why I felt the need to experience life differently, perhaps something complementary to my first passion, to find a kind of balance.
I needed something close to art, with expression, colors and textures. I really needed to speak another language.
So I went back to school to become a florist.
After earning a vocational certificate (CAP) and a professional certificate (Brevet Professionnel), I started my own business in the French Alps.

It's been an incredible adventure ! Throughout this time, and after more than 100 weddings adorned with magnificients flowers, I've met inspiring women full of ambition and talent, and many mothers who dedicate themselves to making a living from their passion for flowers, events and people. I've also learned so much about feminism, economics, motherhoods and business world.

For many, it's not just a job; it's a true family project. Every encounter and every experience made me grow, and for that, I am deeply grateful.
I've also met many lovely couples who gave me confidence and shared a part of their intimate lives with me.
It was an honor to be there for these important moments. I know how lucky I was.
Finally, it has brought me happiness, pride, humility, patience, and perseverance, and it has transformed me into a different person, stronger, more confident, and ready to take on each new adventure.

After all these years, I want to reconsider my professional life and feel free to return to my first loves. To learn again, to continue to understand society, the world, and myself. To be in my place.

So it's time to take a break. But I'm keeping flowers and art in my life because they contribute to my balance.
You will still find my work and future projects on this website. For the pleasure of continuing this floral adventure and others, but differently.

Best,
Audrey
