Creative Direction · Floral Artistry · Atmosphere
For the intimate, the extravagant, the destination and everything that deserves to be felt long after it's over.
Philosophy
I'm after that first breath when you walk in — the moment a space becomes a feeling, and everyone knows they're part of something rare.
— Anne Kenny, Founder & Creative Director
Selected Work
Celebrations with a point of view, created for people and places worth remembering.
I.
Private Celebration · Uptown New Orleans
At a private Uptown residence, we imagined a celebration with its own sense of theater. Expressive florals, candlelight, and considered details made the evening feel both grand and deeply personal.
II.
Galatoire's, French Quarter
A long, lingering lunch inside the mirrored dining room of a New Orleans institution — where white linen, champagne coupes, and the hum of old friends became the whole of the afternoon. A celebration in the city's most enduring tradition: a table, well kept.
III.
Hotel Saint Vincent, New Orleans
A costumed runway benefiting Breastoration, staged in the sunlit courtyards of Hotel Saint Vincent. An afternoon of couture, champagne, and community — where fashion became a love letter to survivors and the women still in the fight.
The Approach
We begin with the reason. We learn the people, the place, and the feeling you want to create; those details become the foundation of the project and our work.
We develop the occasion as a whole; floral form, color, scale, and the atmosphere of the space — so every element belongs to the same vision.
We source flowers, materials, and finishing details that give the design its depth. Each element is considered for its form, texture, and place within the whole.
On site, the design meets the space. We build by hand and refine each element in place, attending to the room until it holds the feeling we set out to create. No detail is left without its moment.
The Founder
Anne Kenny is the founder and creative director of Heirloom South, where event design is approached as an art form rather than a checklist. Known for transforming abstract ideas into immersive, emotionally resonant experiences, Anne blends storytelling, editorial aesthetics, and elevated hospitality to create environments that surprise, captivate, and linger in memory.
With an intuitive eye for atmosphere and a meticulous approach to execution, she guides each project from concept to completion with creativity and intention. Her philosophy is simple: the most extraordinary events don't just impress; they move you.
