Mari & Rutger

Museum Van Loon & Pulitzer, Amsterdam

The story of this remarkable couple is incredibly touching. Rutger, a Dutch gentleman, traveled across the world to Japan to reunite with his love, Mari, who had taken the bold step of leaving her job to be with him. When they approached me, their vision was crystal clear: they wanted opulent, romantic, and unique floral arrangements. Their chosen colour scheme featured shades of brown, dusty pink, and peach, a true dream assignment for me! I handpicked over two dozen exquisite late-spring flowers, including Mari's favourite brownie tulips, Cafe Latte roses, lilies, garden roses, sweet peas, eremurus, and other premium flowers.

Their ceremony, held in one of Amsterdam's most beautiful gardens at Museum Van Loon, was the realisation of their dreams. The roses were still in full bloom, perfectly complementing the carefully selected colour palette. Following the ceremony, the dinner took place in the historic rooms of the Pulitzer Hotel in Amsterdam, where the couple requested a throne-like floral arrangement with an opulent, royal touch. I must confess, this wedding is one of my all-time favourites.

Kind words: " Katya was our floral designer on the wedding day. Her flower art was amazing and all of our guests loved it! Katya never rushed and took her time for us. During the meetings her passion for flowers showed and it was such fun to talk with her. If we ever have an event again and we need flowers, we will definitely be asking Katya again." - Rutger & Mari
