Maxine Owens is proof that inspiration and passion can come from the most curious beginnings. Always passionate about botanical life and living things, she earned a degree in Zoology before beginning a career in creative design. Initially, bringing life to retail displays for trendsetting brands while leading teams of designers, Maxine learned firsthand how creative spark, vision, and eagerness to experiment brings people together.
Always drawn to the beauty and natural elegance of flowers, Maxine gains inspiration from movement, texture, and color and brings a fresh, approachable take on floral design. Her aesthetic style resonates with nature loving brides and has been featured in The Knot, Brides, and Martha Stewart Weddings, and has recently been named one of the top floral designers in the U.S by Harper's Bazaar.
