When I took over Lavish Three, I wanted to build something for my family that would also allow me to share my creativity with the community.

A love of creating. A heart for serving others.
I’ve always loved working with my hands—especially taking something overlooked and turning it into something useful and beautiful. After 16 years of working in the nonprofit world, I hoped to bring my love of creating and my heart for serving others together. I just didn’t know exactly what that would look like.
Then a dear friend began bringing me flowers that would otherwise have been discarded.
At first, I shared them with friends and local nonprofits. But as the flowers kept coming, I couldn’t give them away quickly enough for every bloom to be enjoyed. Seeing so much beauty fade before it could be shared, I said a prayer:
“Lord, what could I do with these flowers so they wouldn’t go to waste and could make a difference in someone’s life?”
A new chapter, carefully preserved.
A beautiful new direction
Giving beauty another moment.
That prayer became the beginning of a new direction for Lavish Three.
I began learning about flowers and exploring different ways to preserve them. I found so much joy in creating arrangements and botanical keepsakes to bless friends and family and to donate to local nonprofits.
Working with these blooms brought together the things I love: creativity, repurposing, and caring for people.
Keeping Beauty in Circulation
Beauty meant to be shared.
Today, that same heart is behind our wedding petals, floral designs, and bouquet preservation. Through our Sustainable Floral Recovery Initiative, we also keep sharing beauty through nonprofit workshops and donated creations.
What I love just as much as creating is knowing what a piece can mean to the person receiving it. A wedding bouquet holds memories and represents the beginning of something beautiful. An arrangement can brighten someone’s day or remind them they are loved.
I put my heart into every piece and every product. My hope is that when you look at something my team and I have created, you feel connected to the moment it represents.
And when you choose Lavish Three, you also become part of our story of sharing beauty and kindness with others.
