Cotton & Magnolia

It's a way of life, a sense of community and tradition. It's rocking chairs on front porches and sweet tea. Family and college football. Lightning bugs in a mason jar and recipes passed down from generation to generation. Yes, ma'am. No, sir. Y'all. And maybe even a few "bless your hearts" thrown in for good measure. And in the South, hospitality is an art form.​ It means personal touches and always caring about even the smallest of details - fine invitations, the perfect guest favors, hand-written thank you notes.

A native of North Carolina, Elaina moved from Charlotte to St. Petersburg with her husband in 2013. Elaina brings with her a background in both interior design and event planning, and values the importance of personal touches and an attention to detail. At Cotton & Magnolia, Elaina marries her roots in Southern hospitality with a love for flowers to create natural, garden-style boutique floral designs. Her designs offer an updated, sophisticated look that is eclectic and textural. Simple. Elegant. Southern-inspired.
