There’s no doubt that flowers bring us joy. That’s why most special occasions involve flowers. But, since they make us smile and add life to any room, they’re welcome any day.
Sahola Flower Fashion Boutique provides not just any flowers and arrangements but mixes the traditional with the exotic. “We like to create very bright arrangements,” says owner and artistic floral designer Olga Sahraoui. “We try to offer something different and go out of the box, mixing up textures, colors and unusual elements such as feathers, branches, leaves, and butterflies. Putting all of these things together creates a stunning effect.”
Olga realized she wanted to immerse herself in the world of flowers while on her honeymoon in Marrakesh. “We visited the Jardin Majorelle gardens; that was a very inspirational moment.” When her husband Eric saw her strong reaction, which Olga calls love at first sight, he encouraged her to follow her passion.
And she did! Olga graduated from the Dutch Floral School in Holland as a master designer and travelled the world for even more inspiration. Today, she has flower shops in Summit and NYC.
Her daring but elegant style has helped her achieve great success. Sahola Flower Fashion Boutique, she says, is the official representative for Cartier in New Jersey. “When they send their special clients flowers, they want to have an upscale style representing their brand,” she says. “We use the freshest flowers, and we source them from all over the world including the Netherlands, Colombia, Japan, and Kenya.”
Olga has also been sought out for charity functions by nonprofits such as the American Cancer Society, where she incorporated flowers into a horse jockey centerpiece to go along with the table’s horse theme. She also designed a stunning couture flower ballerina dress for the NYC Dance Project. And the list goes on.
Not only are her flowers arrangements special, but the containers that hold them are in themselves works of art. “One of the most important parts of a flower arrangement is the base, because it can understate the arrangement or create a more chic and luxurious look,” she says. “The container brings the arrangement to a different level, so we try to use something that is eye-catching and unique. We source some from Europe and often use Belgian and Dutch ceramic in different colors and shapes.” Olga also uses hat boxes for a modern and trendy look.
To make it easy for people to enjoy her beautiful arrangements on a regular basis, Sahola offers subscription services. One delivers an arrangement every month for a year, while the other can be for three months, six months, or longer. It’s a great gift for family and friends, giving them the magic and beauty of flowers over and over again. Plus, every time they receive a delivery, they’ll think of you.
So, instead of getting flowers only on your birthday, anniversary, or Mother’s Day, celebrate with flowers all year long and make every day a special occasion.
