Victoria Tai For Luxury Trending
Victoria Tai, also known as Flower Queen, is the Principal of Winward Home, the finest home décor destination offering the best selection of deluxe faux floral arrangements and complementing décor accessories.
Born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, Victoria has traveled and lived throughout Asia, including Tokyo, Hong Kong, Shanghai and Taipei. Her extensive exposure to luxury markets abroad and at home has honed her eye for perfectionism, allowing her to create the highest quality floral designs available. While living in Japan, Victoria obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree in International Business and Economics from the esteemed Sophia University of Tokyo, a top three private university in Japan.
Victoria’s mission is to make the world a more beautiful place by “Bringing Beauty Home” with the most gorgeous, artistic flowers in the world that will transform any room into a spectacular oasis of joy.
Winward Home has been featured in Veranda Magazine, Luxury Home Magazine, Private Air Luxury Homes, Sotheby’s Ensemble Magazine, and more.
For many years, Victoria has supported and volunteered with charity partners of the Open Hearts Foundation, a nonprofit organization that accelerates grant making and volunteerism programs for individuals who are impacted by adversity.
Victoria’s advice to others, “Do what makes you happy and fulfills your soul every single day. Block out the noise and/or negative opinions or self-doubt, and focus on your passion. Never give up, and pay it forward whenever possible.” Instilled in her by her parents, she says you should always help a friend or stranger in need. And, believe that your good deed will always come back in some other shape or form, which she feels will help to build strong communities. She also says if more people ‘paid it forward,’ communities would come together and thrive.
Like many entrepreneurs, Victoria considers her parents as the biggest influence in her career. Their guidance taught her self-discipline, and how to develop a solid work ethic, along with gratitude and compassion for others. As far back as she can remember, she and her siblings were taught they would never be too old to donate to charitable causes. Her parents always told her, ‘If you are lucky enough to have an extra dollar, donate it to help someone in need.’ To this day, if she’s walking and encounters a homeless person, she will offer them money or food, whenever possible.
