Hailing from the Kanoi family that shaped India’s tea legacy, we could have easily traversed a well-established path. Instead, we had other plans, wanting to carve out our own path and build our own legacy. We started with one of the country’s first floriculture greenhouse projects in Bengaluru, wherein our love for flowers was ignited.
In 1997, we entered the wedding industry, bringing with us a deep sense of aesthetics and a fresh approach to design. Bengaluru took notice, and by 2002, we had expanded into Chennai and Coimbatore, launching successful wedding franchises that brought floral finesse and thoughtful execution to celebrations across South India.
Our journey has been anything but linear. With a story spanning three decades, we have remained closely connected to that ever-evolving flower industry and the larger ecosystem of events and weddings. We have collaborated with leading luxury hotels, destination venues, international and state tourism boards, influencers, bloggers, growers, designers, and planners, all with a single purpose: to bring meaning, beauty, and attention to detail to every celebration.
