ABOUT ORNAT EVENTS & FLORALS
Ornate Events & Florals helps you create picture-perfect florals/decorations for your very special day!
Meet Nat
After earning her Master’s degree from the School of Hospitality Management, Nat embarked on a successful career in the hospitality industry. Over the years, she excelled in her field, combining her education with her dedication to creating memorable experiences. Yet, amidst her professional accomplishments, she found herself continually drawn to her enduring passion for flowers—a love that had accompanied her throughout her life.
Recognizing the importance of pursuing her true calling, Nat made the bold decision to step away from her career temporarily to explore the art and science of floral design. She traveled to Thailand, enrolling in the Universal Flower Arrangement School, celebrated as the No. 1 flower arrangement institution in Southeast Asia. During her time there, she immersed herself in the world of florals, mastering foundational techniques in pattern arrangements and elevating her craft with advanced floral designs. This transformative experience deepened her appreciation for the artistry of flowers and the emotional impact they bring to special moments.
Upon returning, Nat applied her newfound expertise in the wedding and event industry, where she spent years creating breathtaking floral arrangements that brought her clients’ visions to life. Her ability to combine her hospitality background with her floral artistry set her apart, as she effortlessly blended beauty, precision, and a client-centered approach.
Inspired to further elevate her craft and broaden her impact, Nat founded Ornate Events and Designs. This venture allowed her to channel her passion and skills into serving brides and clients across Atlanta and the Metro area. With a focus on creating bespoke floral designs and unforgettable experiences, Ornate Events and Designs quickly became synonymous with elegance, creativity, and exceptional service.
Today, Nat continues to bring dreams to life through her art, drawing from her unique journey that combines a deep-rooted love for florals, professional expertise, and a commitment to making every event extraordinary.

Meet Dustin
Behind every breathtaking creation is the dedication and hard work that brings it to life! Dustin has been married to Nat since 2010, and since day one, he has been a cornerstone of Ornate Events and Designs. Together, Nat and Dustin have taken the concept of “working with your spouse” to an entirely new level—blending the challenges, joys, and occasional chaos of running a business with their shared passion for creating unforgettable events.
While Nat’s artistic talent shines through in the intricate and beautiful floral arrangements, Dustin is the driving force behind the scenes, ensuring that every event runs like a well-oiled machine. As Nat often says, the floral designs themselves account for just 30% of the entire process of creating a successful event. The other 70%? That’s where Dustin’s hard work and ingenuity come into play.
Dustin’s role is as varied as it is vital. Whether it’s constructing a custom wedding arch that perfectly complements a couple’s vision, conducting detailed inventory checks to ensure every item is accounted for, or meticulously packing the truck with all the tools, florals, and décor needed for the big day, he brings unparalleled dedication to every task. And it doesn’t end there—Dustin oversees the entire logistical process, from setup to teardown, making sure everything is executed flawlessly. His ability to anticipate challenges and adapt on the spot has become a key element of Ornate Events and Designs’ reputation for excellence.
Meet Stark
Beyond his technical skills and strong work ethic, Dustin’s unwavering support and partnership with Nat are what truly set their business apart. Together, they bring a balance of creativity and practicality, passion and precision. Their dynamic collaboration not only ensures the success of every event but also serves as an inspiring testament to the power of teamwork and shared goals.
Thanks to Dustin’s hands-on involvement and dedication, Ornate Events and Designs has become synonymous with exceptional service and unforgettable experiences. His contributions allow Nat to focus on her floral artistry, while he ensures that every logistical detail is handled with care, leaving clients confident and stress-free.
Together, Nat and Dustin have built more than just a business—they’ve created a legacy of beauty, craftsmanship, and heartfelt service, earning them the trust and admiration of brides and clients across Atlanta and beyond.
Stark was truly born into the Ornate Events and Designs family! It’s hard to believe he’s been part of our journey for six incredible years. Occasionally, you’ll catch Stark on-site with us, lending a helping hand in his own unique way—whether it’s collecting used candles or simply brightening everyone’s day with his enthusiasm.
But Stark’s impact goes far beyond the little tasks he helps with. Every day, he inspires us to work harder, dream bigger, and lead by example. Knowing that we have someone so special watching and learning from us gives our work even greater purpose. His presence reminds us to approach each day with the same curiosity, creativity, and joy that he brings to our lives.
As parents, business owners, and dreamers, having Stark by our side is a constant reminder of the legacy we’re building—not just for our clients, but for our family. He’s the reason we strive to create something extraordinary and enduring, knowing that our efforts are shaping a future we hope will inspire him just as much as he inspires us.
Thank you, Stark, for being our youngest and most cherished team member. You may not know it yet, but your impact on Ornate Events and Designs is immeasurable, and we can’t wait to see how you’ll continue to grow with us in the years to come.
