Award Winning Floral Designer

Welcome to Design by Elisa — where floral artistry meets heartfelt design.

I’m Elisa Gabrielli, a certified and award-winning floral designer with over 20 years of experience bringing beauty, emotion, and storytelling into every arrangement. My journey began in my mother’s flower shop when I was just seven years old, and over the years, I’ve developed a signature style that blends organic textures, romantic tones, and natural elements to create designs that are both elegant and deeply personal.

As a self-taught artist and creative spirit, I infuse each piece with intention and artistry—whether I’m designing for weddings, special events, or seasonal celebrations. I believe flowers should reflect your unique style and tell your story with authenticity and beauty.

From intimate micro weddings to grand gatherings, every floral design is created with care, passion, and a touch of magic.

Let’s create something beautiful together.

Artist/Instructor

As a NC based visual artist I am Inspired by the beauty found in North Carolinas natural elements from the Coastal to the Blue Ridge mountains. I'm a self taught artist & my subject matter always involves flowers or scenic views in natural landscapes. 

 Using acrylics as my medium, I use natural colors blended with my artists eye to develop unique creation that is meant to inspire or reflect the particular moment in time.

I love teaching beginners how to paint and not be afraid of trying. With my technique of not drawing out what you are going to paint first helps take away the fear of getting started. I paint along with everyone in my workshops step by step from how to apply paint to the brush to how to apply it to the canvas until you have a finished painting!
