Each offering is guided with intention and calm direction, allowing the design to feel natural to the moment.

    Design direction is held with care, allowing you to step back from small details while the experience remains cohesive and well supported from planning through installation.

  • Intimate weddings create space for detail, presence, and intention.

    With fewer elements competing for attention, the design focuses on balance, texture, and the moments that give a space its character.

  • Seasonal Gatherings celebrate meaningful moments throughout the year.

    From baby showers and milestone birthdays to holiday gatherings and professional and corporate events, florals are designed and delivered with care—reliable, well timed, and thoughtfully placed to support the occasion.

    — Valerie, Silent Auction Dinner

  • “Working with Poem of Petals was the most rewarding experience I could ask for. As a bride, I was unsure of how to conceptualize my vision, but she knew exactly what I was looking for and created an experience I’ll never forget. The end result was beyond words. It felt like our event was meant for that space and its timeless elements. The flowers were breathtaking, the tables were designed so beautifully, and our guests said it was one of the best weddings they’d been to.”

    — Jenae, Wedding

  • “From our first conversation, Markesha understood the vision and added her own designer touches that made everything feel warm, elegant, and perfectly on theme. The florals captured the timeless Southern beauty celebration we were going for. Every arrangement was fresh, thoughtfully designed, and delivered right on time. The entrance display set the tone beautifully, and the centerpieces made the space feel both sophisticated and inviting. We received so many compliments. Markesha was a pleasure to work with—responsive, organized, and truly passionate. She even helped us repurpose some of the arrangements to stretch our investment without sacrificing beauty.”

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Not at all. Many clients come with a general direction, vision, or feeling of their event rather than a detailed plan. Part of the process is helping clarify priorities and shaping the design thoughtfully from there.

  • Poem of Petals values collaborative, communicative partnerships. Design direction is established early, details are handled with care, and communication stays clear so planners can move forward with confidence.

  • Each project is tailored individually. Designs are developed with a clear understanding of budget, focusing on where florals will have the most impact while maintaining cohesion and intention.

  • There is no fixed minimum at this time. The number of events accepted is intentionally limited so each occasion receives the attention and care it deserves, regardless of scale.

    Beauty isn’t defined by size alone. Thoughtful composition, seasonal choices, and intentional placement allow designs to feel refined and considered across a range of investments.

  • When it makes sense for the design and flow of the day, florals may be thoughtfully repurposed. These decisions are discussed in advance and coordinated with planners to ensure transitions feel seamless and appropriate.

  • You’ll be guided through key decisions early on, then the details are thoughtfully managed. Clients often appreciate that the process feels supportive without being overwhelming.

  • You’ll receive a response outlining next steps and confirming alignment. From there, the process moves forward with clear communication and steady guidance.
