In the world of floral artistry and event design, few names resonate as strongly as Fiorella. Within an industry traditionally dominated by streetside vendors selling standard bouquets, Fiorella India has emerged as a beacon of innovation and luxury in floral gifting and decor. Founders Samarth Gupta, Jagteshwar Singh, and Tanuj Dang have combined their business acumen and creative vision to transform the landscape of floral gifting in India. Their mission to redefine tradition with class and beauty is evident in their exquisite handmade flower boxes, which have become the brand’s hallmark. Upon launching Fiorella, the founders faced competition primarily from local flower shops. Introducing a luxurious and innovative concept, they quickly captured the market’s attention.
Fiorella Founders: Samarth Gupta, Jagteshwar Singh, and Tanuj Dang
Tanuj Dang’s journey into floristry and event design began with a passion for the service sector, honed during his hospitality studies at Les Roches in Switzerland. “Although I didn’t want to enter the hospitality sector directly, this opportunity was closely related,” he explains. With partners Samarth and Jagteshwar bringing their background in wedding decor to the table, the trio tapped into India’s rapidly growing wedding industry at the perfect time. The inspiration for Fiorella struck when Tanuj started dating his now-wife. Tired of the same old flower bouquets, he stumbled upon an Instagram page showcasing flowers arranged in a box. A locally sourced sample box confirmed the idea’s potential. Sharing it with Samarth Gupta, the concept quickly took shape, leading to Fiorella’s launch. The brand’s USP lies in its meticulous attention to both floral arrangements and packaging, with significant effort devoted to sampling and refining new designs.
Samarth Gupta believes in the transformative power of flowers. “They add colour, fragrance, and a sense of freshness to any setting, making events feel more vibrant and inviting,” he says. At Fiorella, flowers are viewed as living art that not only enhances aesthetics but also evokes deep emotions. The use of both common and exotic flowers—ranging from roses and lilies to tulips and anthuriums—ensures that every arrangement is unique and impactful. Fiorella’s designs are inspired by global trends and extensive research on platforms like Pinterest. However, they ensure their concepts align with the availability of flowers in India. Their unique offerings, such as forever roses from Ecuador that last 1-2 years and an extensive inventory of products have set them apart, cementing their position as market leaders.
Over time, Fiorella has expanded its offerings beyond mere floral arrangements to encompass wedding and event decor, crafting exceptional experiences that capture the essence and aura of special occasions. This growth has solidified Fiorella’s reputation as a premier floral and event design company in the country. "The act of gifting flowers has gained prominence, particularly in the wake of the pandemic, as individuals place greater emphasis on nurturing relationships with loved ones. Fiorella India, a pioneer in this domain, has witnessed a remarkable journey marked by innovation and expansion," says Dang. Fiorella's journey began with elegant flower boxes but quickly evolved. They soon included hidden drawers containing delectable treats like chocolates, macarons and cookies. To further enchant their clientele, they introduced hampers featuring eco-friendly forever roses, lasting up to one to two years, paired with a candle and their popular rose-scented oud perfume. They even leaned towards event decor.
However, recent years have seen a significant transformation in the landscape of event decor in India. This shift, influenced by digital platforms – especially Instagram – have revolutionized the way brides access decor inspiration, fueling a demand for personalized and trendsetting designs. "The contemporary market exhibits a diverse spectrum of preferences, with some gravitating towards intimate affairs while others favour grandiose celebrations adorned with elaborate decor and entertainment," Dang observes. A prevailing trend in event decor is the preference for subtle, minimalistic designs infused with a touch of sophistication. Attention to detail, including the incorporation of intricate elements and accessories, has become paramount in creating memorable experiences that resonate with guests.
However, Sustainability is a core value at Fiorella India. Jagteshwar Singh outlines their initiatives: “Sometimes we reuse the boxes we send to clients, reducing waste and promoting recycling. Any wasted rose petals are donated to temples or repurposed into potpourri, ensuring no part of the flower goes to waste. Additionally, we avoid using plastic, opting for sustainable materials instead.” These efforts reflect Fiorella’s commitment to minimizing its environmental footprint while delivering high-quality floral arrangements.
Fiorella’s ability to adapt and innovate in response to these trends is a testament to its leadership in the industry. By staying attuned to the desires of its clientele and continuously expanding its offerings, Fiorella has not only maintained its relevance but has also set new standards in floral and event design. Looking ahead, Fiorella plans to further solidify its presence by extending its reach to more metro and tier-two cities and opening multiple physical stores in Delhi and Mumbai.
