The story
The Story Behind This Bloom
Buying for four people is harder than buying for one. We make these in a single session so they actually match.
The difficulty with bridesmaid flowers is not the design, it is the consistency — two batches dyed a week apart will never be the same color. So every iris in one order is shaped and tinted together, from the same batch of velvet, and put aside as a set rather than picked from stock. The iris shape helps too: unlike a rose or a peony, it flatters nearly every face shape and hair length, which takes the guesswork out of buying for other people.
Every piece is shaped in our Nanjing studio using rónghuā (绒花) — the traditional Chinese art of velvet-flower making. Because a hand shapes every petal, gentle variation within a set is normal — and visible only up close.
