About John Grady
John Grady Burns is a native of Natchez, MS, where most of his family still lives. He graduated with a BS in Horticulture and Retail Floral Management from Mississippi State University, where he had the privilege of studying under Professor Emeritus Ralph Null.
Upon graduation, he was selected to go to Washington, D.C. to work with the White House, the Blair House (home of the Vice President) as well as several embassies and dignitaries.
Atlanta, Georgia became home for John Grady in the 1980's, his floral
designs, prestige and pure skill attracting famous clients and accounts
like the Ritz Carlton Atlanta and the Atlanta Symphony
(see Photo Albums).
He has carved a real niche for himself as a premiere designer of
weddings and special events. Burns has also taught the art of
floral design at Kennesaw State College, and presently at Halls Atlanta
Floral Design School.
He has worked with Kenneth Turner and other designers of international renown, has won Best in Show, Professional Division in the Southeastern Regional Flower Show in Atlanta, and is often featured in major floral and design publications.
In his upcoming new book, Personally Yours, John Grady insists that each event he designs is unique because the theme comes not from his own mind, but from the client's wishes and wants. "This is your theme," He emphasizes as he explains the meaning of the book's title, "and that is what makes each wedding, reception, anniversary, or ball beautiful and different.
