May Lookbook: Peony inspiration for florists | Agora

Atelier Vérité – Nikki Surinx

In the May Lookbook, everything revolves around the peony, a flower that symbolizes abundance, softness, and the peak of spring. The Paeonia originated in Asia, where it has been cherished for centuries for its lush blooms and elegant appearance. Today it has grown into an absolute favorite in European ornamental horticulture, precisely because of its short but intense season.

The creations for this Lookbook were realized by Nikki Surinx of Atelier Vérité. She is a wedding and event planner as well as a florist. Nikki combines her background in the socio-cultural sector with a strong creative and organizational vision. Empathetic, driven, and with a pronounced eye for detail, she translates stories and emotions into unique, tailor-made floral experiences.

A minimalist approach that allows the natural beauty of the peony to speak for itself. By using the peony in 2 different varieties and 3 different colors, we achieve a harmonious whole.

With its richly filled petals and soft appearance, the peony is an absolute eye-catcher in spring. In this Lookbook you’ll see it in different shades, perfectly suited to the start of spring. For florists, the peony is a strong commercial choice: refined, versatile, and ideal to combine with other seasonal flowers.
