STUDIO FLORA MAUI Maui - No one has a to-do list longer than a bride. There’s catering to select, cakes to taste, venue managers to contact. The more flexible a vendor, the better, which is why Studio Flora Maui’s chic-meets-convenient approach is so appealing. The ladies behind this Wailuku- based brand are floral designer Mandy Grace and editorial stylist Shaunna Nygren, with an effortless aesthetic that is organic and loose, with playful touches and a fresh, modern feel. For these style-minded makers, it’s all about keeping things uncomplicated, unstuffy and anything but contrived. The Studio Flora arrangements are lively and fun, elegant yet spirited collections of stems that play with color and height, and give each bloom its chance to shine. And while there’s nothing simplistic about this kind of elevated stylishness, the Flora Maui team likes to keep logistics simple as possible for their busy brides. While they can work with
couples to create large-scale, customized creations, their specialty lies in the quintessential convenience of their online shop, on which guests can peruse offerings and place orders without the back and forth of custom quotes. Everything is priced on the website and is just waiting for any color or special design requests a bride may have, with bouquets, flower crowns, lei, corsages, and more—everything you’d need for a wedding—available to browse, with a minimum advance order time of just seven days. It’s ideal for microweddings, elopements, and other small celebrations, exactly the types of events Nygren and Grace had in mind when they started up shop. Find them at studiofloramaui.com.
