Growing up in Louisiana, surrounded by a distinctive blend of history, culture, music, and art, Brent Lavergne developed an appreciation for beauty and creativity at an early age. It was only natural that he would find his calling in the world of design.
What began as a passion for the arts evolved into a creative career rooted in craftsmanship, imagination, and an eye for the extraordinary. Lavergne’s journey began with bridal gown and Mardi Gras costume design, where he learned to transform fabric, color, and textiles into wearable works of art. As his work evolved, he began to recognize another opportunity to create: floral and decorative elements that bring a celebration to life.

That realization marked a natural transition into floral design – and opened the door to an entirely new canvas.
Today, Brent Allen & Associates brings together floristry, event styling, décor, and costume design under one creative vision. With a designer’s eye for proportion, texture, color, and composition, Lavergne creates custom floral arrangements and immersive environments designed specifically for each client, celebration, and space.
For Lavergne, flowers are more than beautiful accents. They are a form of expression. A lush bridal bouquet can capture the romance of a wedding. A dramatic ceremony installation can transform an ordinary setting into a breathtaking backdrop. Carefully layered textures and unexpected details can turn a reception into an experience guests remember long after the last dance.
From intimate gatherings to grand celebrations, Brent Allen & Associates provides full-service floral design and event styling, creating environments that feel seamless, elevated, and deeply personal. Each arrangement is crafted with an emphasis on balance, color, and texture, while remaining true to the individual vision of the client.
While Lavergne’s creative work has taken many forms, his Louisiana roots remain at the heart of his artistry. Deeply inspired by his Cajun heritage and the spirit of celebration that defines South Louisiana, he continues to design vibrant Mardi Gras costumes and elaborate headdresses – bringing the same originality and attention to detail that define his floral work.
The connection between costume, florals, and décor is perhaps more natural than it first appears. Each is an opportunity to tell a story through color, texture, scale, and movement. Whether creating a dramatic headdress or an elaborate flowerscape, Lavergne approaches every project as a designer first – imagining not only how an individual piece will look, but how it will make people feel.
That same philosophy extends beyond weddings and special events into seasonal design. Brent Allen & Associates creates custom holiday environments that transform spaces into immersive experiences, from elegant Christmas settings to bold, whimsical displays.
With an understanding of how lighting and different decorative elements work together, Lavergne approaches holiday decorating much like he would a fully styled event. Trees, mantels, entryways, and entire spaces become part of one cohesive vision, tailored to the client’s personal style and the atmosphere they want to create.
Whether the inspiration is classic and sophisticated, warm and traditional, or unexpected and playful, no two designs are exactly alike.
At the heart of Brent Allen & Associates is a simple belief: Beauty lives in the details. It is found in the perfect bloom, the unexpected color combination, the dramatic finishing touch, and the thoughtful elements that make a space feel unmistakably personal.
From bridal bouquets to Mardi Gras masterpieces, from wedding celebrations to holiday transformations, Lavergne continues to turn imagination into artistry – and ordinary spaces into the extraordinary.
Because image is everything.
