OUR STORY
Rooted in passion,
driven by purpose
Founded in 2019, Laurel Floral Design is a boutique floral studio based in the heart of Laurel, NY, specializing in refined, artful arrangements for high-end weddings, engagement celebrations, and special occasions.

At the creative helm is Creative Director Leivy Palencia, whose work is shaped by formal training at the New York Flower School, the Catherine Muller School in Paris, and the Madrid Flower School. This international foundation informs a distinctive design approach that blends technical precision with an elevated, natural aesthetic.

Each arrangement is thoughtfully composed to feel both timeless and intentional—balancing artistry, movement, and a deep appreciation for seasonal beauty. At Laurel Floral Design, we believe flowers are more than décor—they are an experience. From intimate gatherings to large-scale celebrations, we design with purpose and elegance, creating floral moments that feel as memorable as the occasion itself.

Rooted in passion,
driven by purpose

At Laurel Floral Design, our approach is rooted in an organic, nature-inspired aesthetic that feels both refined and effortless. We are drawn to the quiet beauty of natural movement—designing with soft textures, seasonal blooms, and a palette that reflects the subtle tones of the landscape. Our work embraces warm neutrals, muted greens, and delicate variations in color, allowing each arrangement to feel cohesive, breathable, and intentionally understated.

Inspired by elements such as linen, wood, stone, and moss, we create floral designs that feel grounded, romantic, and deeply connected to nature. We believe in balance—where minimalism meets warmth, and elegance is expressed without excess. Each composition is thoughtfully curated to feel organic rather than structured, soft rather than rigid, and timeless rather than trend-driven. The result is a design style that feels calm, elevated, and effortlessly beautiful—enhancing each space without overwhelming it.
