Marcie Sherman started Revel & Hearten in 2017, and specializes in floral arrangements and larger installations for luxury events and exhibits, as well as designing and styling for photo shoots and high-end retail spaces. Marcie also enjoys sharing her techniques and love of floral styling through speaking engagements. Her work has been featured in Elle Decor, Flanelle Magazine, Nashville Scene, and frequently in Design STL, and she was recently recognized as an industry trailblazer by Florist’s Review Magazine for their 2024 Trend Report.

Marcie’s floral design work is the product of a spectrum of encounters throughout her life. A graduate of Savannah College of Art in Design, Marcie began her creative career at magazine photo departments in New York, Domino and Audubon Magazine, and later as an in-house artist for Anthropologie. Various stints in Europe have also influenced her aesthetic and vision. She continued studio practice primarily in mixed-media installation art, while fostering her love of plants and flowers through projects in sustainable farming and horticulture. She moved into floral design starting in 2012, and became engrossed in the medium with its natural and ephemeral quality and ability to bring exquisite beauty into everyday spaces.

Marcie approaches each piece with an artist’s contemplation of texture, color and gesture, and gives careful consideration to the space in which it will be situated. Recognizing that quality material is key to creating excellent work, Marcie has spent years finding and developing her sources among the best flower growers and purveyors. The use of exceptional and unique flowers is part of what makes Revel & Hearten’s designs an elevated experience.
