about bouquet
Where love stories bloom
Bouquet is a luxury floral studio based in Omaha, Nebraska, specializing in custom wedding florals, large-scale installations, and elevated everyday arrangements. Known for our innovative designs and heartfelt service, we create floral experiences that wow, welcome and truly reflect the people we design for.
Our Story
Bouquet was founded in 2014 by Omaha interior designer Julie Hockney. What began as a way to provide elevated floral design for Julie’s interior design clients has grown into one of Omaha’s premier wedding and event floral studios.
Today, Bouquet is supported by a talented team and deep roots in the local event-planning community. We’re known for thoughtful, imaginative design and an exceptional client experience—from the first conversation to the final installation. The work and the reviews speak for themselves.
Our Philosophy
At the heart of Bouquet is a belief that florals should feel personal, intentional, and deeply connected to the people they’re created for. We approach every project with care and creativity, designing pieces that feel elevated yet welcoming, artful yet grounded.
Sourcing & Sustainability
We love sourcing local blooms whenever they’re available. While Nebraska’s growing season is limited, we thoughtfully supplement with flowers flown in from California and trusted local wholesalers to ensure the highest quality and most beautiful results for our clients.

JORDYN
WEDDING DESIGNER
If Jordyn weren’t an accomplished floral designer, she’d likely be a structural engineer. Give her a bold vision for a large-scale installation and she’ll calmly figure out exactly how to make it work–zip ties, chicken wire and all. Equally comfortable in a hardware store or a design meeting, Jordyn blends technical problem-solving with thoughtful creativity. She values the relationships behind the designs just as much as the finished product, and her favorite moment is seeing a couple’s reaction when they first experience their flowers. Known for her business savvy and laid-back presence, Jordyn keeps the studio grounded when things get busy.Favorite Flower: Poppy
