Before there was Harris & Co. Floral Bar, there was Grandma.
She spent more than 40 years designing flowers for our community through Judd’s Florist, teaching me that florals are never simply decoration, they’re a part of a family’s story. They witness beginnings, celebrations, homecomings, and the moments that are remembered long after the last bloom has faded.
Heritage & Heirloom is my love letter to her.
It’s also an ode to the generations who came before us. To our ancestors who gathered around tables with intention, welcomed guests with warmth, and found beauty in creating spaces where people felt seen, celebrated, and at home. There is something deeply rooted in our blood—a quiet understanding that hospitality is an act of love and that beauty has always been woven into our history.
This editorial wasn’t created to follow a trend. It was created to honor legacy.
To honor the strong women before us.
And to continue a story that began long before I was here.
Thank you to this incredible team of creatives for helping bring this vision to life. All beautiful and powerfully creative Black women. What we created together is more than an editorial…it is a reflection of heritage, legacy, and the enduring beauty of gathering with intention.
