EKC PR client, Hagar Elaziz, was interviewed by The Hollywood Reporter this week, where she discussed her blossoming flower business, La Fleur Bouquets – real roses that last a year without water.

The company is currently taking Hollywood by storm with it’s boast worthy celebrity clientele.

Kylie Jenner just once again endorsed La Fleur by sharing her beautiful birthday gift on her Instagram stories, an arrangement made up of red roses in the shape and style of a solo red cup, honoring her now legal drinking age of 21.

So L.A.: La Fleur Bouquets Are Hollywood’s New Favorite Long-Lasting Flowers

The Kar-Jenner clan, Chrissy Teigen and Jessica Alba are all gushing about the vibrant bouquets, which last an entire year without water.

No water? No problem. 

Like many flower fanatics, 26-year-old Hagar Elaziz, a former producer for ABC’s Extreme Makeover, wondered how the handmade bouquets she designed from downtown L.A.’s flower mart could outlast their average shelf life. After trying various techniques, Elaziz, now 29, found a winning method that against all odds, does not require water and keeps real roses alive for at least a year.

So came the birth of La Fleur Bouquets, Elaziz’s L.A.-based flower company that gives customers the chance to purchase vibrant-colored, long-lasting roses in a unique keepsake box. Since its launch in 2015, La Fleur has become a go-to for Kim Kardashian West, Kylie Jenner, Elton John, Oprah Winfrey, Chrissy Teigen, model Alessandra Ambrosio, Jessica Alba and Beyonce, who often rave about their everlasting roses on social media.

Whether it’s for birthdays, holidays, celebrations or simply just because, Elaziz has created dozens of personalized designs for famous clients, including a massive floral butterfly arrangement for Kylie Jenner (after she welcomed daughter Stormi Webster in February), and a black and gold scorpion arrangement for Drake in honor of the rapper’s new album. Jenner also received a bouquet for her 21st birthday in the design of a red solo cup with “Legal AF” written in gold roses.

In order to maintain the preserved roses’ longevity, Elaziz uses a process that involves cutting the flowers at their peak bloom state, removing their natural moisture and re-infusing them with nontoxic, food-grade dyes and oils. Her rose assortments come in more than 40 colors, including metallic gold, the top seller. 

“Oprah [Winfrey’s] was our largest arrangement,” Elaziz reveals of the media mogul. “It was green and white because her favorite color is green. Like a checkerboard style in an acrylic box with 100 roses. That box sells for $2,000.”

Prices range from $40 to $2,000. Aside from its website, the brand can also be purchased at Nordstrom and Ron Robinson, who recently commissioned Elaziz to create a 2,000-rose wall installment for his home. Personalized design options include a velvet keepsake box with calligraphed engraving, or diamond-dusted roses. Each order is sprayed with an original scent developed by the young inventor herself — fragrance is something she says is next on her company’s radar, in addition to trying to tap the male celebrity market: “Men don’t typically get flowers and we have masculine colors that would be perfect,” she noted.

In addition to Drake, Elaziz has created designs for Elton John (red and gold roses in the shape of an “E”), 50 Cent, Tracy Morgan and George Lopez, but she says most orders have been primarily for women. Still, as Elaziz’s impressive list of clientele continues to grow (“You think it can’t get better and it does every time”), she still has a few Hollywood icons that she’s hoping will one day put in an order.

“Drew Barrymore would be at the top of the list, and I really want to send to Ellen [DeGeneres]. I freakin’ love her,” admits Elaziz. “Cardi B would be really cool, too, just because she’s so crazy and her reaction would probably be priceless!”
