My brides and grooms are precious to me. I always want to create designs, which are unique to them. It’s their day so everything about their wedding flowers has to be about them. Every piece of the design aspect has to be perfect as if they were showpieces for my own wedding. So creating wedding flowers for my couples are an incredible honour for me and it’s a process, which I cherish.

I have been extremely fortunate to have created floral displays and design some pretty awesome event sets for some of the biggest brands in the world. It’s always a challenge when it comes to transforming a space into something completely different, like the time we transformed the ballroom of The Royal House Guards hotel into the Amazon rainforest and then into a Norwegian winter forest. It takes a lot of planning and organisation together with a fantastically reliable and brilliantly skilled team, and the finished results are breathtaking. I always feel a little tingle of satisfaction when the guests arrive and I hear gasps of amazement at the sets.

I remember having an enormous garden as a child. Every thing was organic. It was full of incredibly fragrant jasmines, roses, plumerias, oleanders, camellias, tuberose, gardenias and eucalyptus to name a few. Throughout the different seasons, we always had a wonderfully fragrant garden. Now I admire fresh flowers for their beauty, decadence and their seductive fragrances. In the recent years I have studied and experimented a lot with creating my own fragrances. Now I have managed to bottle my memories and experiences and have the pleasure in offering my fragrance collection as if they are fresh flowers in a bottle.

The freedom of the mind we seek is hidden in the weaves of what we wear. Luxury has a price yet we cannot put a value on our desires. It is a freedom which we have to conquer time and again just like the collections which are created season after season.

Chocolates are so much more than just chocolates. They are an experience for our senses. I trained as an artisan chocolatier in Belgium & Switzerland, ever since then I have been fascinated by the art of making fine chocolates. Today I create a selection of fine chocolates with the most gorgeous and seductive fillings.

The hands, which create beauty, are the same hands, which are extended to friends for critique. Without honesty we have nothing but emptiness. The power we bestow upon friendships is the ultimate trust, which encrusts our chosen path with precious jewels of incomparability. Last but not least, I am my own biggest critique; I strive for perfection and always look for ways to improve.

We have to conquer our destiny with compassion, and trust in the process, which we place our faith in. Love has a price for it gives us the freedom to express, the same expressions, which lead us to the belief that we can conquer.
Persistent in our courage to seek, we find the true meaning of creativity, which is, love without conditions. The precious moments we feel love, are the moments we style and create for others. Nothing replaces my passion, not luck, not champagne or sunsets. It is a relentless desire to express my creativity, to conquer the fight to gain those stylish moments. The moments, which are fleeting, yet lasts a lifetime. To master the techniques; those that create perfection with which we fall in love. Boldness, which makes a statement of confidence and the finishing which create a sense of pride, is precious. – James x |
