PLANNING, EVENT DESIGN, AND FLOWERS

A Southwest Florida Event Planner for Meaningful Gatherings

Organized, visually cohesive events designed around the purpose of the gathering and the experience you want every guest to have.

PURPOSE, PEOPLE, PLACE, AND FLOW

Create an event that feels considered from arrival to farewell

The best events feel natural to the guest because the planning behind them is deliberate. Forget Me Not helps organize the decisions, participants, schedule, visual direction, setup, and floral details around the reason people are gathering.

Planning is customized for the event. Your proposal identifies the responsibilities and deliverables included, whether you need broad support or help bringing an existing plan through its final stages.

PLANNING WITH A FLORAL FOUNDATION

The plan and the presentation can move together

Forget Me Not brings event-planning support together with the flower knowledge, sourcing network, and creative experience of a local flower market founded in 2013.

Planning and floral design may be booked separately or combined. When both are included, the flowers can be considered alongside layout, sightlines, guest flow, timing, setup access, colors, and the overall event purpose.
