Born in Jakarta-Indonesia, Vincent Caesar Jansius Luhur’s formative years were spent in wildeness, exploring his passion towards nature and art. Both his great-grand-mother and grandmother owned a florist and were the floral designer for Dutchman and Japanese private residences during their colonization era in Indonesia, influ-enced by both country’s flower arrangement style, while his grandfather worked as journalist and owned a photography studio. It seems that his creative genes plus his hard work and passion brings out the best artistry in him.
He started collecting orchid since he was seven because he believes that the com-plexity and incredible diversity of orchid is a representation of natural beauty and has an impressive collection of more than 3,000 varieties, planted and maintained safely in his nursery located in Banjarmasin (South Kalimantan) and Jakarta. Since his child-hood, Vincent has became a member of Indonesian Orchids Society and actively involved in any of the association’s activities.
Graduated from School of Design, Vincent believes that decoration is a combination between art—design—and flowers. This conviction blossoms out through his signature creations which combine instinct-feel with conceptual theory.
Driven by his dedication to raise environmental awareness through design, he actively participated in government programmes, projects and cam-paigns like his collaboration with Ministry of Environment and Forestry of Indo-nesia called Kesatuan Pengelolaan Hutan (KPH) and Ayo ke Taman Nasion-al, a campaign to encourage people to pay national parks a visit.
Vincent was awarded several creative art and design prizes such as Excel-lent Poster Design for Gerakan Indonesia Menanam, The 1st Prize Winner of 2013 International Anti Drugs Day for Campaign Poster Design and Slogan Creator, Excellent Graphics and Visual Communication Design for Kesatuan Pengelolaan Hutan from Ministry of Environment and Forestry of Indonesia in collaboration with The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusam-menarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, and many more.
As an artisan floral designer and gardener, Vincent practices modern design and brings a unique and conceptual stylistic context to his tablescapes. His botanic arrangements have a signature informality inspired by wild tropical meadows and woodland glades. He grows his own flowers—especially orchids—in an organic urban garden, scours the roadsides for natural, native and recyclable materials for his creative arrangements, also works as a consultant on other cutting garden projects.

We believe that your story is one-of-a-kind and worth telling on your big day, thus each design we create for a client should feel like it belongs to only them.
