Meet Doina, the florist behind Adore Flowers

My love for nature and beauty began early. As a child growing up in Eastern Europe in the years following the collapse of the Soviet Union, life was simple. Summers were spent outdoors, running wild through parks, neighborhoods, and forests, exploring everything nature had to offer. I often came home with little bouquets of wildflowers and all kinds of greenery for my mom.

Years later, in my early twenties, I immigrated to the United States and found myself exploring once again, this time an entirely new country, culture, and way of life. It took years of working jobs that never quite felt like the right fit before I realized that what I had loved all along was creating beauty with my hands.

During the pandemic, I traveled the country in a van, once again running wild through some of America's most breathtaking landscapes and National Parks. This time only deepened my appreciation for nature's colors, textures, and quiet beauty.

At Adore Flowers, we don't believe in rigid formulas or fleeting trends. Every arrangement is guided by intuition, movement, texture, and what simply feels right. I strive to create designs that feel natural, effortless, and deeply personal, celebrating the wild beauty that first inspired me all those years ago.
