Natalie McLain, CEO and Creative director

"When I walk into an event and the floral arrives and it literally changes the mood, the feel, the air... I love those moments."

Natalie is an award-winning floral designer who has designed floral arrangements for over 19 years and over 1000 weddings. She moved to Durango, CO from New Orleans, LA in 2004. While in New Orleans she fell in love with all things southern: big, beautiful blooms, jasmine, camellias, magnolias, old architecture, and mint juleps. Now she combines that southern influence with the rustic elements of her adopted western home — and with the unique visions that spark joy in each of her clients. Natalie's passion lies in applying her expert knowledge and skills to the realization of each client's floral dreams, and she brings that passion for creation to any event.

One of the region's most respected floral designers, Natalie honed her skills working closely with renowned floral professionals such as Linda Eich and Shannon Chavez. With over 80 years of combined experience, such industry mentors gifted Natalie with a wealth of respect, admiration, and floral design knowledge.
