Jason Williquette
Creative DirectorBorn and raised in the south suburbs of Chicago, Jason started helping out in his aunt’s flower shop at a young age, where he made his first boutonnieres and corsages by the time he was eight. He continued his passion in the floral field and inevitably grew an interest in the ephemeral beauty of weddings and events. This rich history of working with florals helped propel him into the event industry – crafting florals by hand, shopping in the flower markets, and even growing his own garden, his extensive knowledge makes his creations truly bespoke.
Jason is inspired by the infinite possibility to create. Hearing a client’s vision, then enhancing it, so that it’s better than they could have dreamed is what he excels at and strives for. With over 15 years of professional design experience, Jason excels in large-scale, experiential installations, and ethereal floral arrangements.
Recent Work
- What are your favorite floral elements to design with? I would call myself a lush English garden designer, so I really love anything with an abundance of texture like hybrid delphinium or snapdragons. I always say my signature in an arrangement is very linear textural components - so anything that fits that bill tends to become my favorite!
- What inspires you? I'm constantly in awe of ephemeral beauty. I learned there is a phrase in Japanese, "ichi go, ichi e" which roughly translates as "we have only this one moment". I try to live that every day.
- What other industries do you find to be the most inspiring? Fine dining and restaurants are always inspiring to me. I think it is an art how masters pair the harmony of the senses, like taste and smell, wine pairings, and visual components with the composition of a plate of food.
- What's a fun fact about you? I love corgis! The Queen's dogs and their stubby little legs... I have two myself, Gwen and Arthur!
