meet paula
Paula’s passion and love of flowers can be traced back to her childhood, growing up on the South Coast of Massachusetts, a few from miles from Cape Cod, amongst beautiful lakes and forests. Throughout these formative years, her love of nature grew and she brought that passion with her when moving to Boston.
Paula began studying the fine arts, with a concentration on painting and drawing, at the Swain School of Art and Design and at Massachusetts College of Art. After honing her skills in design, she started her career in floral design started at the Ritz Carlton Boston where her love of flowers flourished.
In 1989, Paula opened her first flower shop inside of Boston’s iconic Westin Hotel, located in Copley Place, and a private design studio nearby in Boston’s South End. For over twenty years, she provided flowers for thousands of New England’s most exquisite weddings and events.
After decades as a successful entrepreneur, Paula took a step back from her shop in Boston to focus on growing her family. Shortly after she and her husband Mark welcomed their son, Charlie, into the world, she moved from Boston back down to the South Coast. This gave her the best of both worlds — proximity to southern Massachusetts’ beautiful landscape and a quiet space to raise a family.
Today, she works exclusively from her private design studio, enjoying time with her family and walks with their beloved dog, Bandit.
