I’m Carmen Montenegro. I built OK Bouquet to make flowers part of the story.

I’m a floral designer and fashion model based in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. I studied art at Pratt Institute, where I fell in love with color theory, design, and sculpture…things that have become surprisingly useful in the world of flowers, especially when it comes to color, shape, texture, and larger installations.

When I’m working with a client, I like to see the bigger picture, think about the little details that can make a project feel extra special, and make sure the flowers aren’t just there to look pretty. They’re adding something to the story.

You can usually find me wandering through a botanical garden, digging around the NYC flower market, or tending to my garden at home.
