About *
Pugs & Petals began with love, resilience, and the healing power of flowers. Founder Nikki moved from Chile to the United States more than 20 years ago and built a life with her husband, Matt, a former Navy sailor and submarine crewman.
After the heartbreaking loss of their infant son, Nikki and Matt found comfort in creating weekly floral arrangements in his memory. What began as a personal ritual of love eventually blossomed into Pugs & Petals, where every bouquet carries the same care and meaning poured into those very first arrangements.
The “Pugs” comes from Gary, their playful and lovable pug who joined the family as a wedding gift. Today, Pugs & Petals is a heartfelt celebration of love, remembrance, community, and the simple moments that bring us joy, one arrangement at a time.
