LILLIAN WRIGHT

aka Lilli
Owner & Creative Director
(she/her)

LIKE ANY LOVE STORY,

Lilli found hers during a serendipitous meet-cute at the New York Flower Market in Manhattan. Ignited by the symphony of colors, textures, and scents surrounding her, she went home and immediately Googled how to make everything.

It was no surprise she became enamored by the talent and technique needed to create art from flowers. As a former theater actress and set designer, Lilli wasn’t a stranger to producing show-stopping worlds that transported audiences.

Lilli learned the ins and outs of floral design at an Upper West Side retail flower shop. She quickly realized the craft wasn’t simply pulling together pretty bouquets; it required incredible discipline and precision.  With a wealth of knowledge and expert skills, Lilli followed her creative calling to build her own floral and event design business.

Representing the yellow flower that symbolizes friendship, kindness, and elegance (and the bubbly brunch drink), the name Mimosa was chosen to reflect a studio that was as warm, welcoming, and playful as Lilli herself. She is an unconditional empath who thrives on building personal connections with her clients and unearthing what they truly want for their event designs.  

For over a decade, Mimosa has assembled an incredible network of creative partners and a tight-knit family of employees. The moniker also echoes the business' internal motto: work hard, be nice, and have fun!
