Soline Lefort & Clément Valadaud are the founders of the Lily Paloma studio.
Soline’s love of botany comes from her mother, who passed on to her a passion for English gardens, fragrant rose varieties and the harmony of colour.
Clément, for his part, grew up surrounded by interior design. From an early age he accompanied his father, a joiner, to the Paris projects of the celebrated decorator François Catroux. It was there that he developed a keen eye for aesthetics and an exacting attention to detail.
These influences, combined with their own creativity, shape the singular, refined décors they design today, guided by a shared inspiration drawn from nature and timeless elegance.
Together they select the most beautiful flowers, placing great importance on sourcing blooms and foliage of the highest quality to create sumptuous and unexpected settings.
OUR STORY
behind the BRAND
Soline & Clément
Soline & Clément are based in the Normandy Vexin, between Paris and Rouen, not far from Giverny, the cradle of Impressionism. They know the land and the flowers it yields; they are also curious about the world and the way it changes. For them, the spirit of the times is always a source of inspiration.
Florists? Far more than that: artisans of floral art.
“They stage flowers the way a director stages a play,” as one observer puts it. “For them, a bouquet is never mere decoration; it reveals the sensibility of their clients.” A subtle dialogue between people and plants, brought together in harmony at the heart of each event.
Word of mouth soon did its work. In twelve years, Lily Paloma has become the studio of choice for several leading French houses and discerning families, whenever their public or private events call for elegance and quality.
Origins
Jo Malone and others…
The British fragrance house Jo Malone London was quick to see it, entrusting Lily Paloma with the flowers for its Paris presentations. Others followed, including Printemps, Narciso Rodriguez, Bobbi Brown and Anne Fontaine, then Chanel Haute Couture, Kering and, more recently, Puig and LVMH.
“Everything rests on trust,” Soline explains. “We respect the codes, image and culture of our partners, while encouraging them to go further.”
In every case, Lily Paloma takes particular care in choosing the finest flowers and foliage, of impeccable freshness, to compose arrangements that are “beautiful and surprising”, created exclusively for those who inspire them. The flowers come from all over the world: “We work with a specialist at Rungis who sources them from the finest growers,” Clément adds. “Quality knows no borders.” It is as simple as that.
Today, Lily Paloma’s clients are mainly Parisian and American, another effect of word of mouth: “We are wherever we are expected.”
