Long Lasting Love For These Long Lasting Wedding Florals

As so many of us did in March 2020, Alyssa LasCano watched as her world was turned on its head. During the emotionally exhausting days of quarantine, she found herself growing restless and anxious—until one day when she had the inexplicable urge to cut a few fronds from the palm trees in her mom’s backyard. From that moment, she discovered a joy and calmness in making dried floral arrangements. Enter 2022, and Palm Babe (@palm__babe) has grown into a full-service floral company. It specializes in sustainable floral arrangements that are dried and preserved to last a minimum of one to three years. With interesting textures, unique combinations and endless choices, her whimsical floral creations are fully customizable for showers, rehearsal dinners, weddings and other events (and she ships nationwide). “My favorite part of Palm Babe is meeting new people and making their floral dreams come to life,” LasCano says. “Every client’s smile gives me butterflies.” When it comes to wedding trends, she loves that nothing is off-limits. “I am seeing new couples do away with old traditions and make their weddings personalized,” notes LasCano. “I love seeing a couple’s true style and designing what they love.”
