Get Back Up! with Sandra Sigman of Les Fleurs

Author: Scott Shepherd, Host and Flower Educator April 3, 2023 Duration: 1:09:54

My guest is Sandra Sigman, award winning floral designer, owner of Les Fleurs, and author. She has recently launched her first book, French Blooms which is a beautiful book displaying the design principles she learned from her favorite Parisian florist. Get ready to be transported to a world of elegance and creativity as we dive into the story behind this French inspired floral journey.

Sandra moved to France in her early 20's working as a professional ice skater and fell in love with Paris. The daughter of a floral designer and influenced by her childhood love of flowers, she came back to the states and founded Les Fleurs, a French inspired flower shop.

We're excited to have Sandra share her journey into the world of flowers and many of the lessons that has brought her success in her business. Following her passions, love of flowers, and willingness to never give up she has grown her brand and grown her community of clients that appreciate her love of France.
