Mauro Gomes

Founder, Creative Director

Mauro’s love for the natural world started early, back in Rio de Janeiro, where he’d wander through gardens, captivated by every petal and leaf. That passion eventually led him to New York City, where he threw himself into learning everything he could about flowers, perfecting his craft in some of the city’s top floral shops. Over time, he built a name for himself as one of New York’s most inventive designers. His journey led to the creation of Bloom in 1993, then Magnolia Flowers & Events in 2000, and, since 2011, MagnaFlora. With each new venture, Mauro’s signature style—elegant, simple, yet deeply thoughtful—has resonated with clients across the board, from individuals to fashion houses and corporations. His commitment to quality, backed by a dedicated team, has made him a go-to for anyone looking for something extraordinary.
