OUR VISION
We believe that the unreasonable attention to detail and the passion that we have for design helps us get the overall best outcome for our clients.
About Mia
Flowers were not her first love.
Mia’s journey began in the Louisiana country where DIY house renovations were the norm. Painting a room with her Mom was always on the to-do list and helping her Dad build something for or related to the house was bound to happen every few months and she absolutely loved it.
“I remember sitting in rooms of my house and thinking about how to change it into something wildly beautiful. It was constant. No matter where I went. The visions and thoughts of bringing things to life with color, texture and form never stopped.” -Mia
A huge part of design is how someone FEELS when they walk into a space.
With her education and experience as a designer for over 14 years, Mia understands that flowers play a huge role in not only the look, but the feel of your space. Colors, textures and proportions, if used correctly, can come together to create true thing of beauty. Making sure you never forget that initial feeling of your space is something Root strives to achieve.
working in my garden
I’ve always loved being outside in the yard but the past few years my passion for gardening has definitely grown. Putting my hands in the ground and having that true connection with the earth has given me the most relief. Amongst all of the chaos, it allows my brain to empty and my body to release all of the stress.

Hanging out with family
When I’m not at work, I’m usually spending my time with my husband, Robert and our two beautiful children, Scarlett and August. This is a tough industry to be in for an equal balance of family and work, but I’m trying my best to not miss out on moments with them. Soaking up every bit of it, even the times where they make me insane!
Through the years
1997 /
I’m in middle school, dreaming about meeting Hanson and starting my own band, but house projects took priority and were always in play. “How can I make things look and function better?” was a constant thought in my head.
2008 /
Completed my degree in Interior Design and went on to get my first “big girl job” as a Product Design Assistant.
2012 /
After lack of passion in the industry of Interior Design. I decided to try my hand at Floral Design. I launched Root Floral Design out of a 245 sq. ft. shed on my parents property in the country. Hustle was the only option and I did EVERYTHING I could to get myself known.
2013 /
Moved my business to an official space in Downtown Lafayette where I continued to grow and would hire my first employees. Fun was had, but growing pains were so very real.
2018 /
Launched our first ever Event Collections that were all shoppable online. These were created for a stress-free, budget friendly approach to ordering flowers for a wedding/event. We started with 4 collections and now have a total of 21 all available online.
2021 /
After years of producing work only for weddings/events, we opened our very first storefront and now sell plants, gifts and offer everyday flower arrangements to our customers.
2024 /
Root is now 12 years old, with a total of 6 employees. We continue to strive for excellence every single day for our clients, while trying to maintain the passion we have for all things design.
