Since starting at age 16, I’ve never stepped away from the dream of doing and creating what I do today. Building this career and staying true to my creative vision is my biggest milestone. For me, flowers are haute couture: every composition is tailored to one couple, one place and one evening…”
Mantas Petruskevicius, Founder, Flower Couture by MP
MANTAS PETRUŠKEVIČIUS is an internationally acclaimed floral artist and the founder of Flower Couture by MP. Based in Paris, where he lives and creates, Mantas originally established his brand in Vilnius, Lithuania, where it continues to thrive. His practice takes him across the globe, crafting immersive floral art for luxury weddings, high-profile events, and dramatic, large-scale architectural façade installations and has been seen in editorial such as L’Officiel, Vogue Italia, Vogue France, CNN and Elle Wedding. Mantas describes his installations in three words: Romantic, sculptural, alive…
C&B: “Mantas, your installations are incredible – in which countries do you operate?”
MP: “Mostly France and Italy, but we also work in Lithuania, Spain, Romania, and the USA. We bring couture floral concepts to life wherever a vision demands…”
I work mostly directly with luxury venues, private clients, high-profile figures from business, fashion, culture, and entertainment. Outside of our wedding work, our most important projects are our seasonal Christmas facade projects. Transforming full architectural exteriors on such a massive scale completely redefines traditional floristry, creating a captivating visual experience that the whole city and its guests can enjoy…”

C&B: “What is the typical profile of your client?”
MP: “Couples who notice details and want their celebration to tell their own story. They appreciate the historic soul and effortless charm of European settings and want their celebration to feel less like a planned event and more like an authentic, immersive experience. Often, they are international couples celebrating in Europe…”
C&B: “We are going into winter now, however – for those planning for next year – what is your favourite flower to work with during the summer wedding season?”
MP: “Lily of the valley. It carries a quiet, poetic elegance and an undeniable sense of luxury. Its season is short, so every bloom is special. For 2027, we’re planning our installations to include warm neutrals, ivory and sand, with one deep accent: wine red or terracotta….”
Every historic venue has its own character, and the most beautiful thing is when the flowers become part of it, as if they had always grown there…”

C&B: “Paris is an endless source of inspiration, but where do you personally discover your greatest design ideas?”
MP: “In classical architecture, nature, historic gardens, and vintage photographs. I’m fascinated by the way contrasting textures speak to one another…”
C&B: “You work in so many beautiful locations. Looking at the European regions you visit most often, which one stands out as having the most naturally stunning wedding backdrops?”
MP: “It’s impossible to choose between France and Italy. Between classic French châteaux, the coastal views of the French Riviera, and the historic courtyards and romantic gardens of Italy, the backdrops are already magnificent. There’s an effortless, timeless feel to the venues there that makes large-scale floral work feel totally at home…”
C&B: “Final question, Mantas: What would you say is the most rewarding part of bringing a couple’s floral dreams to life and what does that mean to you personally?”
MP: “The moment an empty space becomes their story, and I can see that everything has come together into one feeling. I still get nervous every time, almost like walking on stage. But the moment you see their reaction, you realise every hour of work was completely worth it. Our biggest compliment is when clients write to say they never doubted for a second that they picked the right person. That trust means everything…”
