Pookal Store Your name:   Pookal Store Your location:   Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India How did you start your business:   I always knew that I wanted to have a career where I could be creative and work with colour and design, I was always aware that I would not be happy working behind a desk. I have studied at Master Degree in home science and have completed my Certificates in Floristry and during this time I immersed myself in the industry. I began work experience and quite honestly, I fell in love. For years after this I happily worked in other florists but six months ago I knew it was my time – I wanted to begin my own journey with a boutique studio that represented me. A store that celebrated my passion, aesthetic and values – my own vision. And today, here we are! In many ways I am beginning that love affair with flowers all over again, this time as my own boss. What is your design aesthetic?   I love soft, romantic designs. The prettier, more feminine and more girly the better. I’m an art deco and vintage lover so a bouquet that celebrates that aesthetic embellished with a charming little buckle or broach or bit of fancy is my idea of perfection!

2. What inspires you?   As a florist, inspiration is everywhere! At Pookal Store our inspiration is drawn from nature. We love to celebrate colour, form and seasonality. We like to create designs that allow already beautiful products to simply sing. We follow trends from overseas of course are guided by what our customers like and request – we are lucky in finding them to have a lovely taste point. In general, I take creative inspiration from art, interior design, music, fashion and colour. What are the trends, flowers and colours that are unique to your region? India has some amazing natives and these are enjoying resurgence with the more progressive clients in both bridal bouquets and day-to-day designs. Peonies are the most requested bridal flower for us at the moment; unfortunately we spend lots of time educating brides that they are not available year round! I believe yellow will be an emerging colour trend in 2011. I guess one of the biggest and most interesting differences between the Indian wedding industries is the use of a planner. Are you retail shop, studio, warehouse or home based? We are a small boutique shop, we are located within a garden centre that also hosts a restaurant / café. Do you offer any additional services in addition to floral design?   order online flowers,   wedding decorators, online florist, online cake delivery,   midnight cake delivery ,   flowers online delivery in Chennai What does your toolbox look like? It’s a stainless steel tradies (tradesman’s) toolbox from the hardware store. Its designed with compartments to be very tidy but I can’t claim that it is. It’s jam packed with my knife, scissors, secateurs, wires in a cloth binding, embellishments, a hot glue gun, double sided tape, parafilm, rubber bands,sticky tape, deodorant – I could go on but I think I should stop here! What’s your favourite flower? Roses. They are such a soft, pretty flower, and they remind me of spring.

3. Please feel free to visit our site   www.pookal.in   we’d also love to hear from any other florists around the world who are blogging – our wedding industry colleagues the photography community have really embraced one another globally and worked hard to develop a positive blogging culture – I think the best and most progressive in floristry should be doing the same!
