About Me.
I’m Alyssa, the designer behind Posie & Plume. I started my career in floral design completely on a whim after starting a PhD program in Sociology—quickly realizing it was not the place for me. So, I packed up and moved back to the upstate New York not quite knowing where life would take me next. After leaving academia, I was desperate to “take a break” by focusing on my creative interests. I applied for a floral design assistant position at a studio specializing in weddings and events, expecting it to be a low-key job that I could do while figuring out my next move. It was certainly not “low-key,” but I quickly fell in love with the beauty and excitement of all things floral! I soon realized that nothing had ever made me feel as fulfilled as creating beautiful things and making people happy through flowers. I started Posie and Plume in March of 2020—as you can imagine, we were off to a rough start. Since then, I’ve worked on countless beautiful events, collaborated with amazing vendors, and grown beyond what I could have dreamed.
I can’t wait to help you make your event beautiful!
