who we are

fran+and+jesse.jpg

A BIG hello there!

I am Fran Parrish (above, right), owner of Heirloom Soul Florals. I am a flower farmer and wedding floral designer in Lockport, NY.

Pictured with my #1 farm helper and life partner, Jesse Parrish, we grow over 100 varieties of cut flowers and foliage in the most earth-loving ways possible. Our specialty cut flower & foliage farm is located in Burt, NY, about 50 minutes north of Buffalo. We farm mindfully and organically, using regenerative farming methods.

At Heirloom Soul Florals, we sell wholesale cut flowers and foliage to local florists in the WNY region. The rest of our bounty is used by us to create gorgeous wedding flowers from June thru October every year. Our work can be recognized by our signature lush garden-style designs that appear as if the flowers are growing out of the vase.

My work as a flower farmer and wedding florist is inspired by my desire to live in touch and in closer rhythm with the natural world; it is informed by my background in architecture and my previous urban farming/organic gardening career in Detroit and Chicago.

Every stem and every design from Heirloom Soul Florals has been grown and created with love in the long journey from seed to bouquet, the blooms gracefully nodding to our heirloom, artisan roots.

peace, love + plant magic.
