Flowers have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. As a child, I planted a wildflower garden for my mother—a small patch of earth that would become the place where I first discovered the art of arranging blooms. My very first bouquet, crafted from that garden, was gifted to my sixth-grade teacher at graduation, and in that moment, I realized the profound joy and light a simple arrangement could bring. Over the past five years, that passion has grown into a dedicated practice, allowing me to craft floral experiences that are both elegant and emotive. Each bouquet, centerpiece, and curated arrangement is designed to convey more than beauty—it’s an invitation to feel, to connect, and to celebrate life’s most meaningful moments. Starting my business here, in the city where my family is from and where generations before me have started businesses of their own is so special to me. The name ORA, meaning “light”, reflects the essence of what I strive to bring through every creation: warmth, presence, and a sense of elevated serenity. ORA is where nature’s effortless beauty meets thoughtful design, transforming flowers into luminous experiences that linger long after they are seen. From a childhood garden to over five years of professional floral artistry, ORA is the culmination of a journey rooted in joy, creativity, and the timeless magic of flowers. Ritual in every stem.
