By spending time with florals, we are able to develop a closeness with nature and explore its inward beauty. We see the perfection in imperfections and observe the interplay between light and shadow. We welcome spring with the constant Camellia and its foliage.

About FDK Florals
FDK Florals is founded by Fernando Daquiz Kabigting. Fernando was born in the Philippines and raised in Sacramento, California. Upon completion of his studies at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, he eventually worked in the Advertising, Fashion, and Non-Profit industry. From his Bedstuy, Brooklyn apartment, Fernando created FDK Florals, in March 2018, around requests of his custom arrangements. He has since grown, partnering with both New York and national clientele. He views his practice as a form of communication, a conversation that crosses natural elements, cultural inspirations, and his continually growing customer base. Based in New York, seemingly at the center of the world and its resources, Fernando caritatively seeks for foraged matter, advocates for local growers, to conclude astonishingly artful floral moments.
