Summer Florals at Lido

Sussanna Davidson of French Buckets describes the French Buckets style as artistic, organic, and feminine.  A seasoned florist in the industry for 16 years.   Sussanna has styled arrangements for all sorts of amazing events.  French Buckets was born out of Sussanna’s educational background in fine art and her innate drive for creativity. Her love for styling began in her college days when she opened up a little shop that sold her revamped French country pieces. Whether it was fixing up a thrifted dresser with new knobs and a fresh coat of paint or sprucing up a potted plant, she loved making beautiful things for others to enjoy. Working in florals is so much more than assembling pretty flowers. For Susanna, her work is an art. Her process begins with inspiration, drawing ideas from the smallest of details, from cloths and textures to colors and atmospheres. Whether it’s a small wedding, dinner gathering, or grand party, Susanna brings her curated eye and botanical spirit to every setting. Although she loves providing arrangements for all sorts of events, her favorite context for styling is photoshoots. There she can let her creativity run wild, working with vendors to build a dreamy vision that can inspire and be shared with others.  When a client works with Sussanna, she starts by asking them big picture questions like what they’ve been dreaming about and what they want guests to feel when they walk in the room. These are key to styling an environment that the client will love. Then come the details that include style, colors, budget, logistics, and more.
