About

Julio moved to Billings, MT from Belo Horizonte, Brazil in the summer of 2006 to start classes at Rocky Mountain College. After completing his degree in Business Management, Julio spent several years working in the hospitality industry and moving his way up the chain of management. Although he enjoyed his work there, he found himself yearning to explore a more creative side of himself. After some soul searching, in 2011 he started his career in floral design doing weekly floral arrangements for Harper and Madison, in Billings, MT. He was greatly inspired by the works of Daniel Ost, Jeff Leatham, Jane Packer and many other European floral designers.

While the arrangements at Harper and Madison allowed him to spread his creative wings, he eventually realized he wanted to continue to expand his floral designs and he dove head-first into the world of wedding and event floral. It wasn't long before word of his passion for flowers spread, and soon he transitioned to floral design full-time. Although his business has evolved over the years under several names, The Flower Hat is his most genuine and inspired labor of love. Most recently, Julio has found his newest passion in flower farming and has grown and harvested hundreds of blooms from his small farm in Bozeman, MT.

No matter your vision for your wedding or event, Julio's selfless attitude and passion for beauty will provide you with the highest quality floral arrangements possible. From a casual wildflower look to a more structured, contemporary style, Julio can do it all. He works his magic to create different and unique floral arrangements for you, so your wedding can be "Pinterest" inspiration for other brides! Bouquets, Boutonnieres, Centerpieces, Arches, Aisles can all be done according to your color scheme, theme, budget and the flowers you have been dreaming of. When you hire The Flower Hat for your floral designs, you get impeccable customer service, complete conception and design from a passionate, friendly and knowledgeable source. Julio's dedication, passion and joyful approach to life are impossible to ignore and his love for flowers is evident in every arrangement he creates.

When he's not in the studio adding beauty to the world, Julio enjoys farming, cooking, a good glass of wine and exploring all that Montana has to offer, with his partner, Shane.

Julio and his staff would love to hear from you!

Julio is literally the best! I showed him a picture from pintrest & he told me it would be WAY over my budget to complete. However, if he used seasonal flowers & did his own thing then we could keep it in budget. I had no idea what my flowers were going to look like, but I couldn't be happier with the results. They were amazing! The most beautiful centerpieces I could have imagined. He exceeded my expectations!

Julio was absolutely amazing! It took me a little over a year to finally write all of my thank notes from our wedding but it was beyond what I had expected. Julio kept in touch while helping figure out floral arrangements for my Big Sky wedding as I planned it from Seattle. He was so personal and the arrangements were just spectacular. I am so lucky to have found someone this talented and laid back and just as excited as I was. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

No. words. for how awesome Julio is! If you are in the Bozeman area, cross off "find florist" off your long list of to do's. Julio is the guy for the job. He was so great working with my family for my wedding day. I didn't think I cared about my flowers. Really, I had very few opinions and only had a basic idea of what I wanted. I trusted Julio from day one to do a beautiful job. I was totally NOT prepared for how much he would blow me away. I saw the arrangements for the first time on my wedding day and that was the beginning happy tears for that whole day. Cannot recommend Julio enough!!
