Mabry Hastings is the Founder and lead designer at The Flowered Blue. Mabry started working with florals at the age of 16 with her best friend.
Since then Mabry has grown her business and love for flowers into a genuine passion for weddings and people. Mabry loves using flowers to make people smile and have more fun.
What started out as helping a friend with their floral business blossomed into owning one myself. Although I was just 16 when I started working in the wedding industry, I picked up on everything quickly. I come from a long line of entrepreneurs that love people and I knew that whatever I did in life would be focused on others around me.
I truly love flowers but it's the people and the fun they bring to my job that makes all the hard work worth it. God's handiwork is one of the best materials to work with. I could have been any type of business owner, but floristry fell into my lap and I've stayed because of the people I've met through it.
Ever wonder who the friend was that Mabry started with? It was me! That's right, I've been working with Mabry for almost 7 years now.
I took a break from floral design when I got married and had our two babies Knox + Henrietta. Coming back to Austin to work with Mabry again has been the best full circle moment.
Being a florist allows the flexibility to still be with my kids husband and kids most of the week and gives me the creative outlet I've always dreamt of having!
It's not everyday that you get to say you work with your sister and (mostly) enjoy it. Just kidding. I really enjoy it. I started working for Mabry when I was 12 years old. We like to get started at a young age in our family. I handle most of the nitty gritty work prior to events and help Mabry design larger install and centerpieces on wedding days.
While cleaning buckets isn't at all glamorous, the beauty I am surrounded by everyday makes this job fulfilling.

"Mabry and I hit it off as soon as we had our first intro call! I knew she was the one to bring my vision to life. She is so enthusiastic and passionate about floral design, and it shows in the work that she does. She was incredibly responsive and worked with me to ensure we got what we wanted while also considering cost and logistics. My wedding bouquet is still my favorite bouquet I've ever seen in my life, and I had it preserved afterward. "
"Mabry did the most amazing job with our wedding florals! I came to her originally with little idea of what I was even wanting for my floral wedding vision. Truthfully I had told myself in the beginning of wedding planning that the floral aspect wasn’t a top priority for me. I saw Mabry’s work on Instagram and was immediately blown away. I gave her some general ideas of what I had liked and disliked and BOY DID SHE DELIVER."
