It’s no surprise that one of the top trends we predicted for 2026 is draping. While luxury textiles have long had a place in the wedding world, sculptural draping has emerged as a truly transformative design element, adding softness, movement, and architectural interest all at once. When layered with intention, fabric creates depth and atmosphere, reshaping a space entirely.
In Columbus, Courtney Garcia of Femme Floral is leading that evolution. Known for pairing sculptural draping with bold, art-forward florals, Courtney designs environments that feel immersive, refined, and visually striking. Her work blends texture, movement, and form to transform venues into spaces that feel thoughtful, layered, and undeniably elevated.
With strong East Coast roots and experience across multiple corners of the wedding industry, working with Courtney feels like collaborating with a true design expert. As both a floral artist and draping specialist, she understands how fabric and florals interact—how they frame a space, guide the eye, and shape the atmosphere of a celebration. Together, these elements create a cohesive visual story that brings intention, drama, and editorial polish to Columbus weddings.

Florist Rooted In East Coast Design Influences
Courtney’s experience designing events in Washington, D.C. shaped a philosophy where weddings are more than gatherings — they are immersive experiences defined by style, personality, and strong visual storytelling. Every design decision serves a purpose, creating moments that enhance both the couple’s experience and the way guests move through the space.
“We’re not just styling flowers and drapes. We’re telling stories, highlighting journeys, and creating memories with you at the center.”
— Courtney Garcia
Working with Courtney often feels less like hiring a vendor and more like partnering with a creative director. She intuitively understands a vision and elevates it beyond what clients imagine, while maintaining the professionalism and poise couples expect for one of the most important days of their lives.

From sweeping ceiling draping and layered lounge vignettes to custom ceremony backdrops and dramatic entryways, every detail is intentional. Courtney blends color, texture, and movement to complement her floral work, allowing florals and textiles to speak to one another and build a cohesive visual story.

Courtney’s floral work is recognized for its sculptural form and masterful use of color. Guided by a strong understanding of color theory, she blends tones and textures with intention, creating palettes that feel layered, balanced, and visually striking.
This design-led approach allows Courtney to think beyond individual arrangements, considering how color, texture, and composition interact throughout the entire space.
Flowers become more than decoration — they become artful statements within the space. From dramatic ceremony installations to thoughtfully layered reception designs, each piece contributes to an overall atmosphere that reflects the couple’s story while maintaining a distinct editorial aesthetic.
