Finding a floral designer whose aesthetics align with yours is very important when you’re planning an event. In this blog post, I rounded up my four favourite floral designers. What I like about their work is that their designs exude beauty and elegance each in his own unique way.

Jeff Leatham: Celebrity Floral Designer
American celebrity floral designer Jeff Leatham is the creative director of George V Hotel in Paris and the Four Seasons Hotels in Beverly Hills and Philadelphia. He is said to be “the greatest florist of all time” and he is personally, my favourite floral designer of all times! What I really love about Jeff Leatham is his ability to make bold designs look rather simple. His designs are grand in scale, with layers of texture and a specific colour scheme.
