Your floral storyteller
After more than 20 years in the floral industry, I still feel the same excitement when a vision begins to take shape.
What makes my work different is the combination of experience, perspective, and personality I bring to the process.
My designs are thoughtfully curated, often leaning toward bold and creative while still feeling elegant and full of life. Just as important, I believe the planning process should feel easy and collaborative. When there is trust on both sides, the best ideas always emerge.

The full truth & nothing but -
I'm Tang, founder and creative force behind Flora & Tang and I truly love what I do! Bringing my clients’ dreams to life and creating something even more beautiful than they imagined is my greatest goal. My love for flowers began in my parents’ garden, where everything flourished—flowers, fruit trees, vegetables, and herbs. My beautiful mother filled our garden with peonies, roses, clematis vines, and hydrangeas, and their beauty left a lasting impression on me. As a child, I was like a butterfly drawn to their magic.
I’m a passionate, self-taught floral designer originally from Laos. My family immigrated to the D.C. area when I was two, and after spending time living in Georgia and Michigan, I eventually returned home to northern Virginia. My journey into floral design began unexpectedly while working in telecommunications and searching for a creative outlet. A part-time job at a charming European-style flower shop changed everything, and I quickly fell in love with floral artistry.
For over a decade, I have been crafting artful and refined floral designs with curated seasonal blooms and gorgeous locally grown flowers as often as possible for weddings and celebrations. My work is a reflection of my love for layering sophisticated color palettes, captivating textures, and the organic beauty found in nature. My mission is to bring extraordinary beauty to your most cherished moments through the art of floral design.
