Shean Strong is a floral designer, but more importantly, he is a true romantic who still believes in beautiful ideas, moments, and designs.
Flowers, with their color stories, subtle fragrances, and shapes change every environment. The right flowers create a mood that invokes feelings of sensuality and wonderment. Shean seamlessly pairs those natural elements with timeless designs and a detailed eye.
With the right styling, flowers can’t help but exude effortless refinement.
Subtle European influences married with romantic textures help to cultivate a brand he humbly calls his own. He can't wait to create something that is uniquely you, while anchoring to an aesthetic that is unique to him.

My guest this week is Shean Strong, owner of Shean Strong Design in Atlanta, GA. I have personally witnessed his growth in the floral industry, and I am excited to share his story as our first episode of Season 6 of The Flower Podcast.

Flowers bring life where ever they are placed. Flowers decide the mood that’s conveyed; they create an ambiance all on their own. My passion involves accentuating and highlighting each flower’s beauty to create captivating moments for you and your guests. - S. Strong
