About This Company
“Oh my God—gorgeous. Gorgeous!” rave clients who insist on Blue Iris Couture Flower Design. Blue Iris has been providing breathtaking floral arrangements for just about every occasion for over 27 years and Julie Manukyan, owner and creative spirit behind the operation, has a reputation for producing visual masterpieces. “She’s great. Everything she did for us was beautiful. She really knows what she’s doing. There were these little touches, things that I didn’t know she was going to do, but were so perfect. She takes the time to listen to you and will do samples to be sure that she’s getting it right,” recalls one happy customer. “Her style was new and fresh. I was very, very, very happy. I got everything I asked for and more,” exclaims another.
Artistry and imagination must be in her DNA. Julie’s maternal grandmother was a set designer for an Armenian opera house, and her mother was the gifted florist who started the business. Julie, who has run the company for eleven years, grew up surrounded by beautiful blooms. Today she and her well-trained staff consistently provide exquisite arrangements—floral compositions that are stunning, unexpected and capable of transforming the bland into the glorious. “I’ve seen her do a design that is copied by other florists two to three months later,” confides an industry professional who hopes to one day use Blue Iris for her own wedding. “She’s like a painter, a real artist,” adds a photographer. “The way she approaches every flower is unique.”
One look at Julie’s work will convince you that she does, in fact, have a distinctive flair for the original. “I take my cue from my clients,” says the much-praised designer. “They like that I listen and then make sure everything looks amazing.” Amazing is exactly the effect she is able to achieve. Weddings, fundraisers, corporate affairs, outdoor gatherings, big hotel galas, private estate celebrations—whatever the event, whatever the setting or theme, the flowers never fail to impress. Whether it’s a dazzling contemporary arrangement in which willow, orchids and other exotic blooms are used to produce height and drama; a classical arrangement bursting with color and romance; or an eclectic blend of glittering art glass, bamboo, colorful blossoms and beautiful stones, the flowers are always perfectly in tune with her customers’ expectations.
Fans call her beautiful, charming and serious about her business. They say she’s professional and precise and that she does magazine-quality work at a reasonable price. “Julie gives you what she promises,” observes a bride. “You can trust her. I had so many people coming up to me saying, ‘Who did your flowers?’ I was so happy. Nothing was late. Everything was perfect.”
“Julie is exceptional in her work, very professional. Her crew is marvelous,” reports a colleague, echoing the sentiments of Julie’s many clients and associates. She gives me what I want every time.”
“It’s important to keep customers happy,” adds another industry professional. “Julie does that.”
Here are just some of the raves we heard about Blue Iris:
“Everything she did for us was beautiful. She really knows what she is doing. There were just these little touches, things that I didn’t know she was going to do, but were so perfect. She takes the time to listen to you and will do samples to be sure that she is getting it right. It really was great to be meeting in her place—because she could get up and get something and put it in the sample.”
“She did my wedding. Oh my God—gorgeous. Gorgeous! Her style is so elegant, so wonderful. It’s not ordinary. Everything was perfect. I had so many people coming up to me saying, Who did your flowers?’ that I could have been giving out business cards. Also, she’s not one of those florists who just won’t work with you if you don’t have a big budget. She works with you. She gives you the maximum for what you can afford.”
“She’s very unique and stays current with the times. I’ve seen her do a design that is copied by other florists two or three months later. I would definitely recommend her for my own wedding, if that ever happens.”
“Her work is beautiful. She does magazine celebrity quality flowers that she brings to us laymen.”
