hello hello
I’m so happy you’re here
let us transport you, elevate the atmosphere and suspend time
I'm Alana Marie, the farmer's daughter turned architect behind the botany inspired floral design studio based in Portland, OR.
I grew up on organic farms in Hawaii and the Pacific Northwest, and these wild places gave me the canvass of hues, aroma, and textures that guide my creations today.
That unconventional upbringing transitioned into an architecture and design/build career with highlights in Mexico building an off-the-grid house in the jungle. While the architectural and floral mediums are unique in their scope and lifecycle, my design approach stays the same- harnessing the energy of a landscape into intimate interpretations of place evoking feelings of curiosity and awe. AMARIE FLORA creates a full sensory experience—crafting sculptural installations to elevate atmosphere and suspend time. I’m here to help you make that once-in-a-lifetime experience come to life.
Let’s grab a coffee or cocktail, and dive into the floral headspace.
“The earth is our origin and destination. The ancient rhythms of the earth have insinuated themselves into the rhythms of the human heart. The earth is not outside us; it is within: the clay from where the tree of the body grows.” -John O’Donohue
LOVE NOTES
“Alana is the perfect example of a professional, attentive, kind-hearted, and personable vendor. She’s not just your average wedding florist. She focuses so much on her client’s overall vision, and with an impeccable eye for design, her final product, ART, becomes a reflection of the couple.”
