LUXE Macon – Florals by BJ Shepherd
Where every arrangement is effortlessly elegant, excessively extra.
LUXE Macon isn't just a flower shop—it's where artistry meets intention, where Southern charm embraces luxury, and where BJ Shepherd transforms ordinary moments into extraordinary memories through the language of flowers.
Meet BJ Shepherd
Born and raised in Macon, Georgia, BJ Shepherd's story is deeply tied to this community. A graduate of Windsor Academy (fellow alumni include Jason Aldean and Nancy Grace), BJ went on to earn six college degrees—studying at Georgia State University, Middle Georgia State University, and Wesleyan College, along with studying Cosmetology and Design at Central Georgia Technical College. His lifelong love for education and creativity has always fueled his work, whether in the classroom or through design.
BJ spent more than a decade teaching in the Bibb County School District, shaping the lives of countless students. Many of those kindergarteners he once taught are now grown—some deliver arrangements for LUXE, while others return as photographers or event assistants. His dedication to education and leadership was recognized with numerous accolades from the National Education Association (NEA) and local honors, including an award from the Macon-Bibb NAACP.
That same commitment to excellence carries into his floral artistry. With a foundation in education, communications, and design, BJ blends discipline with creativity, tradition with innovation. Before founding LUXE Macon, he worked with various designers throughout the Middle Georgia area. He learned flower shop fundamentals at Lawrence Mayer Florist while being inspired by the jaw-dropping talent of D.W., whose work makes the rest of us rethink everything we thought we knew about flowers. He studied weddings and organization with Julie Dominy Floral Artistry; event logistics and on-site orchestration with Callie Carr Events; and design, placement, color theory, and countless floral techniques with Rachael Berrier at Bloomingirls. He further advanced his craft under Jarvis Willis, practicing execution alongside him at The Emerson Ballroom. Whether creating a centerpiece that defines an event or honoring a loved one through LUXE Legacy, every arrangement reflects his philosophy: flowers should be intentional, meaningful, and unforgettable.
