With over thirty years of combined experience in event planning and floral design, Dakotah Terrace and Terry Simmons have launched a new Event Design company, Jardiniére. Headquartered at 61 Arrow Road, STE. E, Hilton Head Island, SC 29928, Jardiniére’s facility features a consultation showroom, reception, office and studio workroom. The company offers services in Hilton Head Island, Bluffton, Beaufort, Mt. Pleasant and Charleston areas, as well as the greater Savannah area.

Distinguishing themselves from planners and coordinators, Jardiniére owners affirm that they create one-of-a-kind experiences for clients by achieving the desired decor looks through typography, linens, rentals and florals.

Simmons has been in the floral business for over twenty years. He has worked in floral design from coast to coast with experience in Charleston, Savannah, San Francisco, and Hilton Head. He is a graduate of Georgia Southern University in Statesboro, GA and The Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C.  Simmons grew up in Savannah and graduated from Sol C. Johnson High School (class of 1984).

Originally from New Jersey, Terrace moved to Savannah at seven-years-old and graduated from Savannah Country Day (class of 2010). She went on to graduate from New York University with a focus on Intellectual Property.  Her thesis, "Intellectual Property as a Legal, Economic, Scientific (Technological), and Cultural Discipline," secured her degree Summa Cum Laude. Terrace spent two years in New York's elite world of fashion publications, contributing to ELLE, CR Fashion Book, Harper’s Bazaar, and Cosmopolitan. She moved back to the South in 2015.

Both co-owners have taken up hobbies that are woven into their custom events. Simmons has an interest in building decor materials, such as boxwood walls and floral stands. Terrace has graphic design and typography experience.

Coming from families with strong entrepreneurial fathers, Simmons and Terrace have always been challenged to follow their passions.

“Our clients trust us to transform venues into new spaces, celebratory environments, that are unique to their style and needs,” said Simmons. "The gratification of seeing happiness and joy on people's faces when they are presented with our floral work for the most special occasions in their lives - that is what inspires us the most.”
