There were seasons when everything felt heavy: PTSD from a car accident, the deep grief of losing her best friend, and the uncertainty that followed a layoff. In the quiet that followed each season, Alexys Thornton found light, creating small bouquets for loved ones. In creating for others, she found pieces of herself again; she was healing.
In December 2023, she took her first paid order. A single bouquet. And with that, Golden Child Flowers bloomed from a creative healing practice to a business. Today, Thornton crafts custom floral arrangements across the DMV for weddings, corporate events, in-home displays, and subscription packages. Every design is a quiet reminder that beauty can be found in any circumstance. “I’m not here just to sell flowers,” she says. “I’m here to create moments.”
In just her first year, she’s sold out on two major holidays and been trusted to design for life’s biggest milestones, an 80th birthday celebration, a full wedding party, and everything in between.
Golden Child Flowers is growing fast, and Thornton is ready. With a new website, she’s now delivering across DC, Maryland, and Virginia while and preparing to ship preserved florals nationwide. Her dream? To become the go-to florist for unforgettable experiences rooted in heart.

This summer, we partnered with a brand to give you some very lux content on Instagram. So it’s time we introduce you to our fabulous partner The Topnuch and their grand photoshoot in Paris!
What and who is The Topnuch?
Founded in March 2021, Caribbean-born and Paris-based entrepreneur Dew Prince has created her way of culture boosting through the art of mixing digital marketing and artistry. Her main aim is to find a way to focus on building and uplifting Black-owned, not just as a trend but a lifestyle.
“The TopNuch was born out of years of being angry.” She begins to explain. Angry about the untold truth of my people and the undisputed racial wealth gap that we have lived through for way too long. I remember seeing my mother struggle as a businesswoman and dealing with the injustice not just as a woman but as a Black woman. It was rough. My mother was my first example of what a strong but graceful businesswoman looked like. I carry her energy with me wherever I go, especially with The TopNuch. One must be graceful to properly transition anger into a functioning solution for more than self-benefit. “
“Mixing creative/art direction, content creation, media management, and helping you find your brand’s identity is what I offer to my people in business. The Topnuch is here to serve you no matter your field; allowing you to bloom where you are rooted. Always with a touch of luxury. “
In honor and promotion of The Topnuch’s launch, it was essential to Dew that her very first project was dedicated to the people she aims to serve. For this project, The Topnuch has displayed its organizing and creative /artistic direction skills.
She has worked hard to select a fantastic team of partners from all over the world! (Australia, Africa, France, and more) Collectively, they built a peaceful dreamland for today’s woman; wearing, enjoying, and showcasing Black-owned everything. The Topnuch shoot is a great platform to showcase multiple businesses, artists, and beauty all in one shot.
“Everything in this shoot is by a Black-owned female brand.
For my first ever project having an exclusively female team (apart from the photographers) was a little nudge to my mother. I also wanted to include items from all around the world to remind you that your options for buying black-owned are unlimited. When you see our shoot I want you to see how easy it is to think of patronizing amongst us, and I want you to feel the true meaning of black luxury. I feel blessed to have shared this moment with such a team; it would not. It wouldn’t have been the same without them.” – Dew Prince
