Laura’s Story

I have always loved flowers, people, and missions! However, I never thought these passions could come together. I recently graduated from Colorado Christian University with a psychology degree. This transformed my worldview and created in me a longing to build relationships with people and help them feel valued. As I was finishing my degree, I discovered my passion for floral arranging, and I began to see the similarity between flowers and people. Every flower is uniquely created and beautiful, and that is even more true for every person. That’s why I made Laura Jean’s Floral Designs; to be a testament to God’s handiwork of creating both every petal and every beating heart. I believe that flowers have a unique way of connecting women because they are drawn to the delicate beauty of each flower. I desire to both make my clients beam with joy when they see the flowers at their event, as well as make women feel loved, cherished, and empowered. For every wedding or event, a percentage of the revenue goes to one of the organizations below. Journey with me to bring hope to the hopeless.
