“Wedding arrangements are floral jewels”
Belgian floral designer Chantal Post completed the master’s program in Floral Art in Vught. As president of the Belgian florists’ association Be-Florist, she has been working since 2021 to promote the floristry profession and support florists.
In 2024, she won the title of Belgian National Champion at Féerie Florale in Alden Biesen. This victory immediately earned her a spot in the World Cup Floral Art in The Hague (2025), where she placed eighth.
“I love refined techniques, luxurious materials, and beautiful, unique flowers. To me, bridal bouquets are the epitome of sophistication. My bridal creations become floral jewels that add an extra dimension to the bride and her wedding dress.”
Timelessly charming
This round bridal bouquet combines timeless charm with elegant contrasts. The Helleborus ‘Classic One’, in a very dark burgundy shade, is accentuated by the delicate contrast with the David Austin rose ‘Keira’. The arrangement also features Chrysanthemum ‘Santini Doria Pink’ and Dianthus ‘Ledge Pink’, which add refinement and floral harmony. Delicate grasses of Sanguisorba ‘Red Dream’ have also been subtly incorporated into the composition. All the flowers are brought together in a structured arrangement, finished with tricolor foliage. This foliage envelops and supports the bouquet, thereby enhancing its classic, compact, and distinctly romantic appearance.
Flowers for a personal touch
The most beautiful day of your life calls for floral arrangements that go beyond mere decoration: it calls for a piece that tells a story and enhances the wearer’s personality. In this in-depth special from DPK Floral Magazine

‘I like to put my creativity to the test’

With an undeniable passion for the profession, she has worked her way to the top in the Belgian floristry community.

Spring flowers in pastels add color: Jasminum, Hyacinthus, Ranunculus, Anemone.
