Buds & Roses Fiori

Jessica Aubain

I’m Jessica, owner and lead designer at Buds & Roses Fiori. So nice to meet you all! I am a Jersey girl at heart living in the picturesque Saint Thomas, Virgin Islands for the past 14 years. I have two beautiful daughters, a handsome hubby and four very spoiled island fur babies!

In 2010, I took a part time position working for my late mother-in-law Diane, owner of Roses Too. I instantly fell in love with flowers – there is an unspoken language of flowers that just gets me in “all the feels “ and that is where I knew being a floral designer was where I was meant to be! Taking over a locally owned, well known and loved flower shop was no easy task, but I took the opportunity to gain experience and grow as a designer as well as learning the ropes of the business.

Diane left me big shoes to fill, but she left them pointed in the right direction! While I have successfully led Dianes business over the past 12 years, I have always had the feeling of it being her legacy, not my own … and that my friends is where Buds & Roses Fiori was born!

Buds & Roses Fiori

Buds & Roses Fiori is a small boutique floral design studio located on the island Saint Thomas. We take immense pride in exclusively creating memorable weddings and events with the allure of flowers. The floral industry has led me to many great friendships, gorgeous places, and the undeniable gratification of playing a small role in each client’s unique love story! I love the emotions I witness and feel while walking into the bridal suite with the bride’s bouquet! The smile that lights up the room and even a happy tear or two, the bridesmaid’s and moms “who ooh & ahh” over the gorgeous bouquets, the thoughtful handwritten thank you note – These… These are the moments that make me love what I do even more!! We have had the honor of delivering magical events for amazing clients throughout the Virgin Islands over the last 12 years and counting. I cannot say enough what a privilege it is to work in the beauty of flowers with so many amazing clients, talented vendors and beautiful venues all while in the ever-captivating splendor of the Caribbean!

On my days off I enjoy relaxing on the beach with the family, cooking, dinner dates with the hubs, brunching with my girls, dancing, murder mysteries and a good glass of vino! I love family time snuggles, traveling and new adventures, hosting dinner parties and freelance designing around the United States. I am so excited you are here and cannot wait to learn more about your special day!
