Blooming success: The Venus et Fleur journey | Fusion - WeRIndia

Seema Bansal and Sunny Chadha transformed a disappointing Valentine’s Day gesture into Venus et Fleur, a flourishing multi-million-dollar business that delights thousands worldwide with long-lasting roses.

The duo’s journey began in 2015, motivated by the short lifespan of traditional roses.

Their quest for durability led them to Ecuadorian roses known for their vivid colors and longevity.

By treating these roses with a unique solution, Venus et Fleur’s Eternity roses now captivate with their beauty and scent for up to a year, available in any Pantone colour.

The path to success was not straightforward. Initially, the couple’s youth posed challenges in being taken seriously.

However, their perseverance paid off as Venus et Fleur gained popularity among influencers and celebrities.

This endorsement propelled the brand to over 80,000 arrangements a year, with annual revenues soaring to $7.5 million by 2017, earning them a spot on Forbes’ “30 Under 30” list in 2018.

Venus et Fleur, with offices in New Jersey, New York, and the UK, now enjoys global reach.

Bansal finds joy in being part of clients’ significant life moments, from weddings to baby showers.

Inspired by her heritage and her father’s charitable work in India, she aspires to give back to her community.

Bansal’s journey also taught her valuable business lessons, particularly the importance of delegation and continuous learning.

She advises young professionals to seize every learning opportunity and draw inspiration from respected figures.

The personal touch in their venture was highlighted when Chadha proposed to Bansal in Paris, fulfilling an early relationship dream.

Their wedding in Miami, adorned with 150,000 Ecuadorian roses, symbolized their shared journey and the lasting memories they create through Venus et Fleur.

Venus et Fleur’s story is more than just about entrepreneurship; it’s a testament to innovation, love, and the beauty of turning a simple idea into a global sensation that brings joy and elegance into people’s lives.
