Why We Created ROSA by Leaf + Petal — and Why Couples Love It

Intimate Wedding Florist in New Orleans for Smaller, Thoughtful Celebrations

When we first created ROSA by Leaf + Petal, it wasn’t meant to be a secondary option or a scaled-down version of what we do. It was created with intention — for couples who value beautiful floral design but are planning celebrations that are smaller, more intimate, or simply less complex.

Over the past year, ROSA has quietly become one of the most meaningful parts of our work. What began as an à la carte offering has naturally evolved into something much more: a thoughtful floral approach designed specifically for intimate weddings and smaller-scale celebrations.

And judging by how many couples have chosen ROSA, it’s clear we weren’t alone in wanting this.

The Why Behind ROSA

As Leaf & Petal grew, so did the scale of the weddings we were designing. Large installations, multi-day timelines, and full-production floral plans became the norm — and while we love that work, we kept hearing from couples who wanted something different.

They wanted florals that felt elevated and intentional, but not overwhelming. They wanted beauty without excess. They wanted design that fit their celebration — not the other way around.

ROSA was created for those couples.

It allows us to bring the same care, eye for detail, and creative approach Leaf + Petal is known for, while tailoring the scope to weddings that are smaller, more streamlined, and deeply personal.

What ROSA Is (and What It Isn’t)

ROSA by Leaf & Petal is designed for intimate weddings and smaller celebrations. It’s ideal for couples planning:

• Micro or intimate weddings

• Courthouse ceremonies

• Backyard celebrations

• Restaurant or private dining room weddings

• Events with shorter timelines or fewer floral touchpoints

ROSA offers a curated, à la carte or semi-custom floral experience — focused on the pieces that matter most. Bouquets, personals, ceremony arrangements, and thoughtfully designed details that feel intentional and cohesive.

What ROSA isn’t is a compromise. The design process is still thoughtful. The florals are still elevated. The end result is still beautiful — just right-sized for the celebration.

How ROSA Has Evolved

As more couples began choosing ROSA, the offering naturally refined itself. We learned what worked best, what couples truly needed, and how to create the most impact with a simpler scope.

We’ve updated our approach, refined our offerings, and expanded our visual storytelling — because ROSA deserves to be shown as what it truly is: intimate, romantic, and design-forward.

Each ROSA wedding is different, but they all share the same heart — florals that feel personal, considered, and perfectly suited to the moment.
