About Us

We work with only one goal in mind:

To exceed our Client’s expectations and share our love of Flora.

With over 22 years of experience, Dianthus Miami recently opened to better serve our North American and Caribbean based clientele. It’s our opportunity to combine your wishes, the finest ingredients, tools, and wisdom to write the perfect “recipe” for your design.

Our team is led by Walter Vermeulen, the Creative Director and US Operations Manager of Dianthus Miami. Walter is also a Master Florist, the highest distinction attainable in the world of floral artistry.

His pride of Dianthus’ Dutch heritage is present when he speaks about distinctions in the European style of flower arrangements. “I think the European style is more modern, more upfront…we are ahead [in] designing.”

Furthermore, Walter points out that some companies will oftentimes rehash the same arrangements for different settings. Especially for Weddings and Events, this is not Dianthus’ approach. “You have to see the location and its color themes, which materials they use, and then you go from there.”

Jan & Truus Kornman

Our company was founded by Jan & Truus Kornman — Owners and Master Florists of Dianthus International and Dianthus Miami.

An enterprising spirit from an early age, Jan already knew at 18 what he wanted: to explore the whole wide World. Years later, when he started Dianthus International, his talents and character traits merged. His business acumen, wanderlust, and in particular his love for flowers.
