Nicole Ludema, the artistic mind behind the new boutique Niksi Home & Floral, loves to create floral arrangements that are intentionally designed. Her downtown Grand Rapids shop features pre-made bouquets and carefully curated artisanal and vintage home goods. The store also sells gift cards ideal for bridal showers or thank-you gifts.

Ludema also provides floral services for weddings and other events available for pickup at her store and offers setup and teardown services on a case-by-case basis. Her nearly 15 years of event floral experience, combined with her background as an event and interior designer, allows her to approach wedding florals with the entire space in mind.

“My style is very color-forward and big-picture,” Ludema says. “There are a million different tones for roses or other flowers, all of which help show the full spectrum of color throughout a design to add richness and depth. It’s also helpful for me to know what the room looks like, what linens were chosen, and what the bridesmaids are wearing. I want my bouquets to pop in the environment that they’re in.”

Every floral design created at Niksi Home & Floral is unique and customized to the couple’s vision and budget. Ludema works closely with each couple to identify and develop their ideal floral design.

“It’s important to have mutual trust with my clients,” she says. “I love when a client comes to me with specific ideas, but I also love to help them articulate their vision and bring it to life.”
