Yoli LaGuerre is a true force of nature, a floral designer who brings a distinctive blend of urban sophistication and natural simplicity to every creation. Her style is both editorial and organic, sculptural and soulful. Yoli is renowned for crafting striking floral compositions that resemble art more than traditional arrangements, refined, modern, and emotionally resonant.
With over 25 years of experience, Yoli has gained global recognition as a floral artist and educator, celebrated not only for her breathtaking designs but also for the profound impact she has on people. Her work is bold yet intentional, characterized by minimalist expressions that offer maximum emotional impact. Often likened to modern art installations, her arrangements utilize shape, color, silence, and space, much like a painter engaging with brush and canvas. Whether creating a towering floral sculpture for a gala or a simple stem that evokes stillness, Yoli invites us to see flowers and life from a fresh perspective.
She is the founder of Yoli LaGuerre Fine Flowers, a high-style floral atelier that is now expanding into Houston, Lake Jackson, and Austin following years of success in Rye, NY, New York, NY, and Aspen, CO. Yoli's client list is as rich as her imagination, encompassing celebrity homes, luxury fashion houses, global brands, and destination events in Japan, India, Malaysia, Belgium, the Caribbean, and across the U.S. Each design is personal, whisper-like, yet carries the power of a movement.
What truly sets Yoli apart is not only her eye for design but also her heartfelt approach. She is the founder and Executive Director of We Are Perennials, a nonprofit grounded in the belief that beauty can serve as a form of healing. Through this mission, she travels across the country, offering floral design workshops and vocational training to individuals overcoming trauma, addiction, domestic violence, and mental illness. Her work transcends mere centerpieces it focuses on nurturing centered lives, a garden of second chances where creativity blossoms into confidence.
A credentialed master designer, Yoli holds accreditations from the American Institute of Floral Designers (AIFD) and the European Master Certification (EMC). She has studied botanical illustration and botany at the New York Botanical Garden, where she served for over a decade as a beloved instructor in design. Her leadership in the field extends to national platforms, where she has served as the Director of Social Media for AIFD, shaping how the next generation perceives floristry, not as a luxury, but as a language.
Beyond her design work, Yoli is a published writer for Florists’ Review magazine and has been featured on local radio programs and in regional magazines, using her voice to uplift the power of creativity, craftsmanship, and community.
Now, as Yoli settles into Texas with her hands in the soil and her eyes on the horizon, she continues to weave flowers, people, and purpose into everything she touches. She is available for luxury events, corporate installations, design residencies, brand partnerships, and creative speaking engagements. Above all, Yoli LaGuerre is more than just a florist she is a botanical crusader, a quiet revolutionary, and a gardener of hearts. Through her flowers, she tells stories of resilience, rebirth, and radiant beauty, the kind that lingers long after the blooms have faded.
