I'm Merolyn Rodrigues, and I'm thrilled to introduce myself to you as a Floral and Event Designer extraordinaire.

Let me start by saying: I adore flowers. I mean, truly love them! Designing with them, working with them, and creating stunning floral arrangements is not just a job for me—it's my passion, my calling, and my greatest joy.

My journey into the world of flowers began at a young age when I would help my mom plant and pick roses in the flower garden that surrounded the front of the house. I grew up in the beautiful Caribbean island of Antigua and Barbuda. I was always Mesmerized by the kaleidoscope of colors, fragrances, and textures, and found myself captivated by the artistry and magic of floral arrangement. Little did i know that these childhood adventures would sow the seeds for my future career

I was inspired by my deep reverence for God's nature and the beauty of flowers. I've always believed that each bloom is a masterpiece in its own right, and I'm on a mission to showcase their splendor in the most breathtaking way possible.

My education in horticulture began in Guyana, Central America, where I earned an associate degree. From there, I ventured to Antigua, where I had the incredible opportunity to work with the Agricultural Department, further refining my skills and nurturing my love for botanical beauty.

But my quest for knowledge didn't stop there. I've had the privilege of learning from some of the industry's most esteemed professionals, including luminaries like Michael Gaffney, NY Flower School, Preston Bailey, David Tutera, and John Emmanuel. As a protege of Preston Bailey, a mentee of David Tutera, and an alumni of John Emmanuel, I've been fortunate to soak up their wisdom and expertise, allowing me to elevate my craft to new heights.

Today, I am the proud founder of HTTS Floral and Event Design (Heir To The Seed), where I pour my heart and soul into creating unforgettable experiences for my clients. Each piece I create is infused with a unique blend of creativity, passion, and meticulous attention to detail, ensuring that every event is nothing short of extraordinary.

With an unwavering commitment to quality and an artist's touch, I have elevated floral design into an immersive experience. Celebrating life's milestones, expressing heartfelt sentiments, or simply reveling in the luxury of nature's marvels— I promise to surpass expectations at every turn. From meticulously handcrafted bouquets to awe-inspiring event decor, each creation is a masterpiece, a testament to my unwavering dedication to the artistry of floristry.

I am truly honored to share my love for flowers and design with you, and I can't wait to bring your vision to life. Let's embark on this floral journey together and create something truly magical.
