Preston K Wainwright, botanical artist, is more than a wedding florist; he is the visionary behind the Bodega Noir brand. Sought after by clients and respected by fellow designers for his fresh approach to floral, interior and fashion stylings. Preston can often be found hand painting natural materials to create the unique artful look for which he has become well-known. A product of Sarasota Florida, Preston pulls from the fabric of his southern upbringing, which instilled community mindfulness and an unwavering entrepreneurial spirit – two fundamental factors in all his considerations.

​

     Introduced to the hospitality industry as a young fashion director, Preston began his journey of developing the art of “honoring the guest” a mantra that is the solid foundation on which he has built his career. This voyage has taken him to all corners of the US and given him a lifetime of experiences from which he continues to draw inspiration.

​

     From customized dinner parties to curated welcoming packages for house guests, the thoughtful nature of his handwritten, hand-picked, guest-centered components sets Preston apart from the rest. From an exquisitely personal wedding at an exclusive estate in Tryon to an elegant union in the hills of Los Angeles, the driving force behind Preston's enthusiasm consistently comes back to the privilege and responsibility of honoring our treasured guests and being more than just a florist. A botanical artist crafting inviting experiences and space for those who value time well spent.
