About the Artist

Fine art meets house float flowers..

Stephanie K Porche started House Float Flower Making during covid helping her neighbor with her 2021 House float and just continued creating different flowers.  She learned the traditional method of float flower making in art class many years ago but they altered the process a bit so the flowers could withstand weather elements. Stephanie ended up in quarantine when it was time to attend the backyard craft party so she shared her templates and posted a photo tutorial online for everyone instead. We saw flowers all over the New Olreans after her post was shared around that year. 2025 makes 5 years of making housefloat flowers. 50 different flowers have been created and now decorate homes in 7 different states.

Mardi Gras is the love of life. It is the harmonic convergence of our food, our music, our creativity, our eccentricity, our neighborhoods, and our joy of living. All at once.”
