Master Floral Designer and Botanist with 12 years of experience creating large-scale, gravity-defying floral installations for weddings and galas. A specialist in sustainable, foam-free mechanics and seasonal botanical sourcing.
Julian Vance combines a scientific background in botany with high-fashion floral artistry, offering a perspective that goes beyond simple flower arranging. He specializes in the structural engineering of floral designs, teaching readers how to safely execute suspended ceilings, heavy arches, and intricate centerpieces. His expertise covers the behavior of specific blooms under stress—knowing exactly why a Garden Rose might wilt before a Dahlia—and the supply chain realities of importing luxury stems like Peonies out of season. Julian's articles guide couples through the technicalities of hydration, processing, and mechanical support to ensure their floral investments look pristine from the ceremony to the final exit. He empowers clients to have informed conversations with their florists about seasonality and scale.
