Today we’d like to introduce you to Elegant Le Fleur.
Thanks for sharing your story with us Claudia and Vanessa. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
Every small business has a story, welcome to ours. Elegant Le Fleur started off as just a creative idea. May 2018 with Mother’s Day approaching and five floral arrangements to purchase for the special ladies in our life. We decided to get creative and make them ourselves. We came up with the idea of putting fresh flowers in a box and adding a touch of elegance. We were so proud of how beautiful and unique the rose boxes came out, we decided to post pictures on social media. We received an overwhelming amount of positive feedback from our family and friends, and people wanted to order. In Mexico, Mother’s Day is always celebrated on May 10th, unlike in the U.S., where the holiday falls on the second Sunday of May. We saw this as an advantage, we knew we needed to act quick. The next day we came up with a brand and a logo and started taking orders. We received over 20 orders in just one day, we were overwhelmed with excitement. We knew we had something special. We officially launched Elegant Le Fleur May 17, 2018. We are extremely blessed to have the incredible support from our clients, family and friends.
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
Starting our first business was scary, nerve wrecking and exciting. It has most definitely been challenging. Having a fulltime job and trying to grow a business was very stressful and draining, especially when you are clueless on how to run a business. Being relatively new to the floral industry, we’ve had to learn from our mistakes.
Elegant Le Fleur was just starting to expand into weddings and events when COVID-19 hit. We had to cancel and postpone many scheduled events. COVID-19 has changed the dynamic of our business and daily lives. Not being able to support our clients in saying goodbye to their loved ones or helping them make their loved ones feel special has been very hard. Times are tough, but at Elegant Le Fleur we stay positive. This is a minor setback for a major comeback. We are grateful and thankful to our clients for the incredible support.
Alright – so let’s talk business. Tell us about Elegant Le Fleur – what should we know?

We are most known for our custom boxed preserved roses. Our preserved roses are unique in a way that they remain fresh for approximately 1-3 years. They are fresh roses carefully picked in their most beautiful state and specially processed and treated to maintain their freshness and naturalness. They require no water or sunlight and will not die under regular indoor conditions. You cannot find anything similar in store. We are creating a culture of elegance and luxury.
Our creativity and ability to understand the specific needs and budget of each of our clients for their lush arrangements, is perhaps what sets us apart from the rest.
We are extremely proud that we were able to purchase our first delivery van. We call it the ELEGANTMOBILE! We deliver fresh arrangements every day from Monday – Sunday, including major holidays.
