Flowers on their own have the ability to captivate us completely, but add in the mastermind that is The Day Design into the posy equation and you've got yourself more than just a handful of pretty blooms. The outcome? We'd easily liken it as an art form. Which is why we've asked this powerhouse of petals to breakdown the magic behind this...
