My Double Life as a Houston Florist & Planner

Some see floral design as just an extra skill, but for me, it’s a true passion. An art form that brings events to life with color, texture, and fragrance. I spend my days as an event planner, orchestrating timelines, coordinating vendors, and ensuring that every celebration unfolds like a dream. But when the sun sets (or let’s be honest, long before it rises), I’m knee-deep in flowers, hands dusted with pollen, crafting arrangements that bring a client’s vision to life. Being both a Houston florist and wedding planner allows me to offer my clients a truly personalized experience, where every detail, from the flowers to the overall design, reflects their unique vision. It is a privilege to guide them through this journey, seamlessly blending planning and floral design to create an unforgettable event.

Where It All Began: My Journey as a Houston Florist

Like many event planners, I fell in love with the art of bringing celebrations to life. I’ve always thrived on organization, problem-solving, and making the impossible happen. But somewhere along the way, I found myself lingering a little longer near floral arrangements, captivated by how flowers could completely transform a space. They didn’t just decorate a room. They told a story, set a mood, and made people feel something without a single word.

So, I picked up a pair of clippers, took a deep breath, and dove headfirst into the world of floral design.

Why I Do Both: Florist & Planner

People often ask, “Isn’t planning events enough work” (Yes. Yes, it is.) But there’s something magical about seeing a celebration come to life not just through logistics but through art. Planning allows me to design the framework, ensuring every detail is meticulously handled. Being a florist allows me to step into that world with my hands, creating something tangible, fragrant, and alive.

Flowers are more than just décor; they set the mood, tell a story, and evoke emotions in a way no other design element can. Whether it’s a statement floral piece for a birthday celebration, an opulent wedding arch draped in cascading blooms, or elegant centerpieces for a corporate event, flowers transform spaces in a way that feels almost ethereal. And nothing compares to the moment when a bride holds her bouquet for the first time or when a couple sees their wedding reception adorned with lush florals, making all the months of planning suddenly feel real.

The Challenges and the Joys

Balancing both worlds isn’t easy. Event days as a florist and planner often start before sunrise and end long after the last guest leaves. There are moments of exhaustion, of hands covered in scratches from stubborn rose thorns, of last-minute changes that make me question my sanity. But there are also moments of pure magic, when a client walks into their event space and gasps, when a mother of the guest of honor squeezes my hand with teary-eyed gratitude, when I step back and see not just an event but a memory in the making.

It’s in those moments that I know I was meant to do this.

Why This Matters for My Clients

When you hire me, you’re not just getting a planner, you’re getting someone who sees your event as an experience, not just an occasion. Someone who understands how the perfect floral palette can elevate your entire aesthetic. Someone who won’t just tell you that peonies are out of season but will find the perfect alternative that still gives you that soft, romantic look you’re dreaming of.

And let’s be real: event planning is stressful enough without having to coordinate between multiple vendors for your florals and design. By merging these two passions, I offer a seamless, cohesive experience, one where your vision is executed flawlessly because every detail, from the venue layout to the flowers on the table, has been carefully curated with intention and heart.
