Semia Dunne is the founder and president of Semia Floral Studio located in Providence, RI. Semia's love for flowers began when she and her mother grew their first cut flower garden together. She opened Semia Floral Studio in 2000 and has specialized in wedding and large event floral design for the past 21 years. Her work is inspired by the natural world, always embracing lessons of movement, colors and texture found in the landscape.
