Outer Banks local floral and event designer, Renee Landry of Renee Landry Style was chosen as one of three finalists for the role of Chief White House Florist.
Rene has brought her modern yet whimsical style to many Outer Banks weddings and events. In early summer, she discovered that the long held position of Chief White House Florist was going to be available. Landry submitted her portfolio and won a coveted personal interview at the White House. After successfully interviewing in the Map Room of the White House, Rene was one of the top three invited to proceed in the selection process.
On October 7, Rene joined two other competitors to prepare three different designs to show Michelle Obama. She was given four hours in a tarp covered China Room to prepare her work, and allowed to work the day prior in the White House Flower Shop with the current white house floral staff. Michelle Obama spent time with each participant reviewing their designs and discussing inspirations and event ideas for the White House.
Although she was ultimately not selected for this position, Rene continues to engage in local, national and international event design projects.
Renee Landry Style is available to design and style events as well as create unique floral statements for delivery. For more information, please see www.ReneeLandryStyle.com or call 252.207.7038.
