HELLO THERE

Posh Petals is a luxury floral, planning and design studio based in Grand Rapids, MI. Our experienced team of designers and coordinators believe in expressing art and emotion through floristry. Sometimes words are hard, and flowers can express what we are feeling better than we can ever say – joy, love, grief, hope, encouragement.

OUR VALUES

We believe in working hard and supporting each other because we are better together. When one of us succeeds, the whole team succeeds. We believe in our continued education to improve our services to you, our clients, while also celebrating the talents and accomplishments of today. We believe bunnies are the best pets and deserve daily snuggles and all their favorite flower snacks. We believe love is love.

We are committed to taking care of our planet. In an often wasteful industry, we strive to implement as many sustainable practices as possible, proving that florals are just as beautiful without the use of harmful supplies. We partner with local businesses to not only source but also recycle our flowers so we are simply one part of the circle. We believe in giving back and supporting others who are fighting the good fight (check out Posh Sprout on our Order Online page).

OUR MISSION

We want to help you celebrate all of life’s moments – big and small. Whether it’s your anniversary, a new job, or just a mid-week pick me up, we want you to know you have lots of people cheering you on (us included).

On your wedding day, we want you to feel beautiful, loved, and authentically you. Our floral designers want to create a design that personifies you as a couple, and our coordinators want to help create the most magical memories. We hope that by working with us, you experience the same joy and happiness that flowers bring us every day.

    Hello! My name is Sam, and I started here as a floral designer in the heat of wedding season 2017! I can most often be found designing wedding floral, and I love that one week I could be installing a custom floral arbor and designing tall statement pieces the next. Each wedding is different, and I love the challenge it brings. Flowers and plants are something I have always loved and held dear, and I wanted a career that included a creative outlet for my always-moving mind. So here I am! Working with amazing women and beautiful blooms, I’ve never had a place that I’ve felt most at home.What is your favorite flower? Jeez. I have so very many. The girls at the shop make fun of me because I say “I’m going to cry” every time I see a crazy pretty ranunculus. So, I am going to say ranunculus.What do you love most about your work? I love that I get to use my hands to make things that bring joy to other people every day. There is something gratifying about being able to bring a smile to a strangers face just by delivering a flower arrangement or creating their wedding flowers.What inspires you? I am inspired everyday by the people I know and love; by the trials they have overcome and HOW they’ve overcome them. I find that learning about life and failures and successes all inspires me to be the best me I can. People inspire me to live my life to its fullest potential.

    Hi everyone! Let me tell you a little about myself. My name is Stephani, feel free to call me Steph. I am known as the crazy plant lady, as I have over 57 houseplants. My love for plants drew me to start floral design. I’ve been a studying art for the last 6 years, everything from illustration to pottery. Yet, nothing has quite captivated me like floral design!What is your favorite flower? Oh jeez, I’ve been dreading this question! It’s so hard for me to choose. I love everything from a simple wax flower to a garden rose. But if you really push me, I think I would have to say a Passion Flower.What do you love most about your work? I love being able to create living art; it takes 3D design to another level for me. I also love creating art that everyone can enjoy and find joy in. Handing someone a bouquet and seeing their face light up is very rewarding.What inspires you? I seem to find my inspiration from the simple things in life. Watching the sun gleam through the leaves of a tree, or listening to the wind blow through a forest. Humanity is another source of inspiration; seeing someone enjoy their work and succeed in life fills me with motivation to continue doing what I love.
