"Palm Beach Retreat" Luncheon Special Guest:
Canaan Marshall
Canaan Marshall is the next-door floral designer of your dreams. An old soul, he has had a natural knack for all things growing and green since childhood. He is best known as the vibrant, young fellow to turn your everyday into elegant. Perhaps just as notable is the seemingly effortless way he creates and very often makes his fans feel as though they, too, could create something just as wonderful.
His mantra: Place it, and move on. To his audience of intrigued green-thumb wannabes, he inspires thoughtful arrangements while never fretting over the perfect placement. He encourages, "Choose flowers you like; put some love into the preparation, and have fun!" Much like your favorite neighbor, he has the finished vision before you even begin. Canaan's energy makes one want to dance and celebrate each event as if it were the last. That celebration is evident in everything he touches.
Canaan especially values the relationship with each client. He is quick to learn a client’s personality from the onset. From Macon to Atlanta and beyond, many have been known to cheat on their mainstay florist for his gorgeous table scapes, over-the-top mantels and breathtaking bridal bouquets. His work can be found in the pages of Southern Living, Modern Luxury, Flower Magazine, Traditional Home, and Macon Magazine. His lineup of sophisticated events includes ADAC’s To Live & Dine, Historic Macon Foundation’s Design Wine & Dine, and Atlanta Symphony Associates' Decorators' Show House & Gardens opening party. Canaan is also a contestant on Season Two of Full Bloom on HBO Max. Canaan makes extraordinary appear simple, yet always with a fabulous, fun flair.
