Gold is her color of choice. Such bold brightness is apparent in all that Mary Pinson encounters, from her floral design and passion for creating an event to her eye for inspiration in her travels and adoration for a fabulous party. Mary grew up in Montgomery, Alabama where she cultivated an appreciation for celebrating often and entertaining thoughtfully, especially thanks to her mother’s fervor for hosting beautiful affairs. Design is at the heart of what sparks Mary’s soul. With each Master Class at FlowerSchool New York, she refines her calling. Her party-girl nature met her ardor for creating ever elegant events through designing memorable flowers, weddings, parties, and corporate occasions. “Bring me your thoughts, and I will deliver the unforgettable details, from flowers to finale. It’s such a pleasure to be a part of life’s celebrations for a client,” Mary states with a smile. She says that success in her book is determined by a delighted, relaxed, confident client after the execution of an event and a perfectly nature-inspired floral arrangement. Mary is a dreamer. Her taste for fashion, art, and music and her value of family and friends provide constant influence on both her work and life. She lives a full life with her husband Hughes, and they are proud parents of Ginny Anne and Hughes.
