Having been born and brought up in the ‘midst of flowers’, Nunzia Guerino was pretty much destined to be a florist. She recalls, as a fresh-faced lassie, how she would rather help out Grandpa clean roses and work at the family flower shop instead of delving into other childhood whims and activities. It is at such a young age that she developed a passion for floristry.
Presently, Nunzia is a force at Dolls Blumen, an Austrian florist company whose online motto is equally as fascinating as the many floristry projects and solutions they have offered over the years.
“Flowers lend freshness and elegance to any function. They make a wonderful surprise; they can say thank you, ask for forgiveness, or simply make everyday life that little bit more beautiful,” reads their web intro in part.
