TIERNEY STONE
I love what I do.
One of my first memories as a child was of the curtains in my room. Deep, peony pink, floral chintz. My office today is covered with watercolors of flowers collected over the years. A street seller in Paris. A thrift shop on Ribault Road.
A 1960s menu from a cruise ship.
My bookcases are filled with garden & floral design books.
Each delicious page drenched in petals. Color. Texture.
How did floral design become my career? Flowers began for me over 20 years ago as a way to decompress from my day job working as a research analyst at a large London bank.
It started small.
Just filling my house with flowers each week. Then, that lead to a few floral design classes in London....then to leaving the bank.
To buying & running a daily flower shop for a few years.
To freelancing in Charleston & the Lowcountry for 3 years with the best event florists in the industry. To today, owning & operating my own design studio.
And this love affair has been such a gift.
Flowers have literally taken me all over the world. I have met & worked with some incredibly talented designers that have made me a better designer (& human!). For this I am deeply grateful.
Each day, flowers teach me a little more about beauty
& always, always about the art of living.
THE STUDIO
The design studio is based in Beaufort, South Carolina.
We work throughout the Lowcountry.
We have also been known to drive a small Uhaul full of containers & flowers further afield.
Or, hop on a plane to do a wedding overseas. Anything is possible with planning & attention to detail.
We also love to work with clients when entertaining or hosting smaller, more intimate events at home.
And if you stop by the studio, please be sure to say hello to our studio manager, Nico (pictured), often found snoozing under the design tables waiting for someone to give him a treat!
