About La Fiorella Floral Designs

Who is La FEE or Ella?

 

I'm so glad you asked! I'm Brittany and I am the heart of La Fiorella. It's pronounced LA-FEE-OR-ELLA which translates to "the little flower" in Italian. Yes, I could have picked a name everyone can pronounce, but that would be boring. Being the heart, I put so much love into everything I create because I have a passion for plants and an appreciation for every single, little flower. 

I have been in the floral and horticultural industry since I was 15 years old. My first job was at a flower shop cleaning buckets, sweeping floors and taking trash out. I took advantage of every opportunity to play with the extra flowers, practice making bows and learning the business. I was able to learn from many old school florists and some innovative, new school florists. 

After high school, I decided to take the plunge out of business classes and into to something I was passionate about - horticulture. The Horticulture/Business program required students to complete an internship. What better way to apply my understanding of Horticulture and Business than to start a business!? So that's what I did, just to prove I could. 

Still, I felt there was more to learn. I needed to immerse myself into another industry - Plantscaping. Interior plantscaping, specifically. I have learned so much from this industry and I have an even bigger appreciation for plants than I ever have before, especially tropicals and houseplants. Just don't ask my what my favorite is. It's an IMPOSSIBLE question to answer!

Beyond the flowers and the plants, I am a designer. I have always loved art, color and crafting. Figuring things out brings such satisfaction. I enjoy the challenge of trying to do something different. I encourage clients to be receptive to out of the box, new and different creations. 

Now for the sappy part! I couldn't have gotten this far without my the support from my friends, family and especially my hubby and son. A large part of this business was lifted off of the ground from word of mouth. I am beyond grateful. If you've gotten this far, I thank you and I hope you feel the love from every little flower you receive!

Meet Lorraine !

After spending 30 years as a dedicated elementary school teacher, I have carried my lifelong love of flowers and creativity into a new chapter.  I’ve always found joy in working in my garden, decorating, and expressing myself through design, so after retiring from the Burlington Township school district, I  followed my heart and walked into LaFiorella one day simply to ask for a job. From the moment I stepped inside, I felt at home, instantly connecting with Brittany and Bridget. What I cherish most about working at La Fiorella is the fun, welcoming atmosphere and the commitment to thoughtful customer service, where each arrangement is crafted to reflect the individuality of the person receiving it. I enjoy learning from Brittany’s talent and continue to grow my own skills, finding deep fulfillment in creating unique bouquets and designs. Bringing happiness to others through my floral creations truly fills my heart and makes this creative journey especially meaningful.
