Hey! I’m Adrienne, owner of Fortissimo florals.

Fortissimo’s cut dahlia offering was born out of the 2020 Covid pandemic. While all of New York City quickly shut down and design work disappeared, I journeyed to Pennsylvania to ride out the lockdown with family. 

My mom, Vicki, is a self-taught-turned-expert gardener. When the summer months came around, a few of her dahlia tubers produced a tremendous amount of blooms. I dead-headed and tended daily and eventually hauled many deliveries of flowers to neighbors, florist friends, and flower shops in Brooklyn & Pennsylvania. We’ve been growing, evolving, refining, & maximizing our micro-flower farm ever since.

When it comes to designing, I’ve been creating floral arrangements & elements for weddings and events in both Los Angeles and New York for many years.
