Remy Bault, floral artist and entrepreneur
A beautiful centerpiece by Remy Brault, of Labellum
Please meet Remy Brault of Labellum, a contemporary floral boutique based in Bozeman, Montana.
Remy and I first met in September 2017 at a conference called Rocky Mountain Gardening Live, produced by Rocky Mountain Gardening magazine. She shared a beautiful tabletop floral demonstration featuring all Montana-grown flowers, and later led a fun hands-on workshop to teach participants how to make miniature floral pieces as place settings. I was there to talk about the Slow Flowers Movement from a gardener's point of view.
Wild, bold, natural -- the Labellum style reflects Remy's contemporary aesthetic and geographic inspiration
Soon after that, Remy joined Slow Flowers as a member and I've been wanting to have her as a guest on the Podcast for quite a while. It seems like perfect timing to do that right now, with something fun to celebrate -- including her centerpiece and bridal bouquet featured in The Slow Flowers Journal Book.

Here's more about Remy Brault and Labellum:
Labellum is a retail flower shop in downtown Bozeman, which also specializes in event florals. With a style that is hip, modern and organic, Remy writes this on Labellum's web site: "We love mixing natural elements and incorporating rich textures into our work. With artistry and imagination, each arrangement tells a story and is as unique as our clients. We are inspired by the ever changing seasons with all of their natural textures.
Inside Labellum, where plants and vases play a large role in the inventory, too.
"Impact is everything and our footprint matters to us. We work with gardeners and farmers in our area during the warmer months in Montana to combine as many vibrant local flowers as possible into our designs. We also grow many flowers on our own and whenever possible we love foraging respectfully and ethically in the forest or along the river beds for awesome drift wood, rocks, and anything that has fun textures and shapes. We have recently become beekeepers and added two bee hives to our little ever changing urban 'farm.' Our hope is to help with pollinating our neighborhood, increasing bee populations and of course produce a delicious organic wildflower honey."

By the way, the word "Labellum" is the center petal of an orchid. A beautiful name and brand for an organically-focused floral shop.
