Meet Tiffany
Lead Florist and Creative Director
Austin, Texas
Jokingly known for being a walking flower encyclopedia, Tiffany has dedicated every spare moment of her life to cultivating a deep knowledge of flowers. Flowers are friends she knows well, and one can tell.
With over twelve years of design experience, her floral style today mirrors her ethos and vision: to share flowers in their purest form while preserving the natural history of flowers as a gesture of hospitality.
Flowers are friends she knows well, and one can tell.
For Tiffany, flowers have always been about more than flowers.
They've always been about how a space feels.
Long before founding Ida Mayes Floral Design House, Tiffany's creative journey began behind a camera, capturing light, movement, and the quiet beauty found in nature. As a painter, she continues to explore color, texture, and composition, an artistic perspective that naturally shapes the way she designs with flowers today.
Since beginning her floral career in 2009, Tiffany has immersed herself in every corner of the industry, from flower farming and freelancing to building Ida Mayes into one of Austin's premier floral design houses. That breadth of experience has given her something more valuable than simply knowing flowers—it has taught her how to recognize where beauty has the greatest impact.
Today, Tiffany is known not only for sculptural, movement-driven floral design, but for the way she guides clients through the creative process with warmth, honesty, and genuine care.
Her philosophy is simple:
Beautiful flowers matter.
But making people feel welcomed, understood, and completely cared for matters even more.
Whether designing an intimate dinner, an immersive wedding, or a large-scale corporate gathering, Tiffany approaches every project with the same question:
How do we want people to feel when they walk into the room?
Because that's where every unforgettable celebration begins.
