Black Tulip Floral & Décor Styling
About Us
My name is Stefan. I am a qualified flower and décor Stylist as well as the owner and founder of Black Tulip Floral & Décor Styling”. I am also proud to say that I am the Winner of the tv reality show “Die Groenste Vingers” season 2. If I have to describe my style in words it would be “Sophisticated Fine Art” styled to the finest detail. I have a great love and passion for the African bushveld, where I draw my inspiration from. Even though we cater for all the different styles under the sun there is just something the bushveld offers with all the different patterns, shapes, colors and textures that excite me. I have a big soft spot for different species of dried grasses and grass seeds and can’t walk past without picking for myself and adding to my collection. My biggest priority and passion however is to make your vision become a reality in the end product with your own unique stamp on it.
Where My Journey Started
My passion started at a very young age (5-7 years old) at my grandmothers house during schoolholidays. She is very fond of arranging flowers and I have spent time with her since I was little where I learned and practised till where I am today. I did however develop my own style throughout the years. At the age of 10 I started doing my own flower arrangements for small private functions and church events. I am proud to say that by 16 I officiated my very first professional “big” wedding for the market out there. I use to love helping my grandmother at events and today I am very proud to say that she is now the one helping me with events at the age of 75. She still helps out on some of my big events as my right hand and helper. We always joke and say that it is now my turn to shunt her around, but you will be surprised. This tannie can WORK for someone in her 70’s.
