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.

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.
