It Started With
A Wedding
Laura founded Paper Perennial in 2015 after creating the flowers for her own wedding and awakening a passion previously unexplored. After seeing the delight and wonder on the faces of her friends and guests, she began crafting arrangements, bouquets, and small gifts professionally alongside her career as a high school English teacher. She makes every order as personally and passionately as she did for her own wedding. She lives in the northwest Chicago suburbs with her husband, Eliot.
