"Let's bloom up this world together!"
Max Hurtaud was still a toddler when he told his mother that he wanted to pursue
a career in floristry. He is proud to say his dream came true; he is a French Master
Florist who travels the world, sharing his passion for anything and everything to do
with flowers.
Born in La Rochelle, France, Hurtaud attended a floristry school near his hometown
for six years, which included a work placement in the U.K. He "qualified" (graduated)
in 2015.
From there, he moved to Berlin, Germany, for a year. "It is a fun city for creativity
because of its atmosphere. ere everything is possible; the sky is the limit!" Hurtaud
says, describing his favorite city. From there, he settled in Brussels, Belgium, because
he felt this was a truly great place for a florist to be—not to mention the waffles,
chocolates and beer!
Today, Hurtaud runs a wedding-and-event business, as well as his floral education
courses, from Brussels, and he regularly takes part in floristry competitions
around the world. He recently placed third in the 2020 "Belgian Flower
Arranging Championship."
Hurtaud is full of enthusiasm and
loves to challenge himself, drawing
inspiration from different cultures.
His aim is always to surprise with his
designs, and he constantly reinvents
them to stay fresh and exciting.
It's very difficult not to smile in his
presence because his passion for
floral art is infectious!
