Refined Events, Thoughtfully Designed.
More Than Just an Event
An exceptional event is about more than how it looks. It's about how it feels, how effortlessly it unfolds, and the memories created along the way.
At Protea Design Company, we bring together thoughtful planning and creative design to create experiences that feel personal, polished, and entirely your own.
Whether you're planning an intimate celebration, a wedding, or a large-scale event, we approach every occasion with intention, creativity, and an appreciation for the details that make it special.

Event Planning
From intimate private celebrations to corporate gatherings and brand activations, we manage the details that bring an event together.

A beautiful event begins with a cohesive vision. Through creative direction, thoughtful styling, and carefully selected details, we transform spaces into experiences that reflect your vision.
Event design is available independently or as an enhancement to our planning services.
Floral design is also available as a standalone service.
FLORAL DESIGN
Flowers have a way of transforming a space and bringing an occasion to life. From personal arrangements to statement installations, our floral designs are created with an appreciation for color, texture, and natural beauty.

Elevated balloon installations designed to make a statement. From organic balloon garlands to custom backdrops and installations, we create designs that complement your celebration and its surroundings.
Planning Meets Design
A beautifully planned event deserves equally beautiful design.
We believe the most memorable events bring together thoughtful planning and a cohesive visual experience.
For clients looking to take their celebration a step further, event design can be incorporated into any planning service. From the initial creative direction to the finishing details, we develop an overall aesthetic that feels intentional, cohesive, and personal.
Think custom color palettes, layered tablescapes, floral installations, statement details, and an atmosphere that brings your vision to life.
Whether you need planning, design, or both, we'll help create an experience that feels distinctly yours.

When design is part of your experience, we develop the creative direction and bring together the elements that make your event feel complete.
4. Seamless Execution
On event day, we oversee the details and bring everything together so you can be present and enjoy the experience.
Working with Jess was an exceptional experience. She sat with me through all of my ideas—no matter how many or how jumbled—and thoughtfully helped shape them into a seamless, cohesive plan for my 30th birthday party.
Her eye for design and creativity is truly unmatched, effortlessly transforming inspiration into something refined and beautiful.
I can’t recommend her enough for anyone looking to elevate their vision into something extraordinary....

What Our Clients Are Saying
Jess planned the most beautiful bridal shower for me, and I truly couldn’t have asked for anything better. The décor was absolutely incredible, and every detail was thoughtfully put together. Each guest had a name tag at their place, which made everything feel so personal and organized.
The entire space looked picture-perfect—from the perfectly placed cake and photo displays to the beautifully arranged bridal shower gift corner. The picture area with my floral backdrop was stunning and made the perfect spot for photos with my family and friends. Everything was set up so beautifully. The food was also amazing, and everything was presented so nicely.
My guests kept complimenting how gorgeous everything looked and how much they enjoyed the food. Jess truly went above and beyond to make my bridal shower feel elegant, welcoming, and unforgettable. Thank you so much for making my bridal shower so special and memorable!
