I met Dani attending a few WIPA meetings in New York. She was always so welcoming and friendly. However, once I started following her on Instagram, I saw how amazing talented she is. Dani’s strong sense of color and design were apparent in all of her work. Without further ado, I am excited to give some well-deserved attention to Dani Chou of PETALS BY DANI!
What was the path that led you to become a floral designer?
Growing up I was surrounded by nature- seasonal flowers, fragrant shrubs and bountiful fruit trees in my Grandparents traditional home in Taiwan. I was fortunate to work with top cosmetics companies for more than ten years and wanted to bring my past experiences and passion to a different level. During my previous career in the cosmetic industry, I had the pleasure to work with top brands that focus on botanical ingredients in their products.
My early passion for flowers and nature encouraged me to explore other career opportunities, so I combined my love of creativity and blooms which resulted in Petals by Dani.
Floral design allows me to expand my creativity by combining all of my past experiences and interests. Flowers are one of the many common languages that we all speak and understand- they represent beauty, life, pleasure, changes, and renewal. I believe my designs communicate happiness, love, feelings, positive energy, and uniqueness.
What excites you about weddings?
Weddings are about celebrations- the unique bond of love from the couples, their families, and close friends. It is an absolute honor to know you are an important part of making the couples' special day a very important and beautiful event.
What do you look for in a couple?
I love meeting all of my couples, I love how they all have envisioned what their "Big Day" looks like and are open to suggestions which will focus on additional details which bring "the vision" to life.
What is the greatest compliment you’ve ever received?
My clients often compliment my creations with "Wow, this is gorgeous!" and "You made our dreams come true." among many other compliments. It is always an honor to be part of their special celebration.
What do you desire for your business?
Hope to continue to bring the beauty and joy of my designs to all of my clients.
What are you grateful for?
Extremely grateful for my family, good friends and health. I am grateful to have the opportunity to do what I am passionate about, for the clients that entrust me on their special celebrations.
Last but not least, I am grateful for Mother Nature, who is the ultimate creator of natural beauty.
Any recent cause for celebration?
My husband and I are expecting our first baby in a few weeks. We are over the moon!
