Buffy Hargett

@buffyhargettflowers

Okay, we’re biased, seeing how she’s our senior staff stylist and resident floral genius, but her Instagram is objectively, total entertaining inspiration. Impress guests with one of her brilliant “easy wows,” aka, floral arrangements that are totally doable, even for us beginner florists.

Mandy Kellogg Rye

@waitingonmartha

Waiting on Martha (of Atlanta!) is an all-around great follow for the best of modern Southern style. She’s full of fun entertaining ideas (like her dreamy picnic guide), but also her online shop is a great resource for gifts that are somehow simultaneously quirky and classic.

Packed Party

@packedparty

Packed Party is an Austin, Texas-based brand that helps you send the perfect pick-me-up package to a friend or just bring a little sparkle to your own day with their “packed party” boxes.

The boxes are themed (e.g., birthday, miss you, etc.) but are always filled items that are playful, colorful, and probably sparkly. Their Instagram feed is SO fun you can’t leave without wanting a disco ball shaped drink for yourself.
