What happens when two creative ladies move to the Big Apple, meet by chance and share a love for design, florals and parties? Why sparks fly, of course... creativity abounds... and {lucky us!} the ever-bright and beautiful poppies & posies is born. Now a well-known event and floral design company nestled in the Upper West Side of Manhattan, owners Sierra and Juliet sat down with Merci New York to chat about their fabulous craft...
So tell our readers how this all began...This is truly the smallest big city out there! At the time, Juliet was working in the product design department at Martha Stewart, I was an event coordinator, and we shared a mutual friend, so we met by chance and realized we shared so many interests. I have this funny little memory of sitting down together in this tiny wine bar in Brooklyn to have our first convo about starting an events company. It’s been really fun working beside her for the past few years and building poppies & posies together...we have shared a lot of laughs and of course a few tears too.
Were you inspired by particular events or experiences?Both of us were inspired by our childhoods, families, and most recently by this extraordinary city we live in. Juliet spent a lot of time as a child gardening with her father and I know this had a big impact on her life. My mom is an entrepreneur and I use to help out in her store as a kid. Seeing my mom build a successful business has definitely encouraged me to pursue what I love and believe that it is possible.
Lately, we have been inspired by all of the incredibly talented people and companies in this city - their work always inspires us to create unique florals and décor elements for our clients.
How would you describe your aesthetic?When we're brainstorming ideas for a wedding design, we both draw inspiration from country gardens and vintage items. We're like two kids in a candy store when we're antiquing. Sometimes we go just to see what we'll find and what ideas we might come up with from looking at all of the glass bottles, tins and crates.
What sets poppies & posies apart from the rest?
We’re very hands on. We take pride in the personal attention that Juliet and I both give to each client. 99% of the time we’re both present at all of our client meetings, we work side by side on all of the floral and event designs, and we hand make all of our décor elements whenever possible. This gives each wedding a personal touch that you might not find elsewhere.
