Jonathan Portis
Jonathan L. Portis founded The House of Elegant Florals with two goals in mind, quality work and excellent customer service. He started off his early years working in Social Services with his state and after years of service he then went into the funeral industry and became an administrator over multiple funerals home in his area. In 2018 he became a Deputy Coroner for his County and in October of 2020 a vision came to him about flowers and he started something that would ultimately put smiles on people faces which was The House of Elegant Florals, LLC. When he started this business he started in the back of his Mother’s home and in 2023 after seeing much success The House of Elegant Florals became an exquisite preferred floral shop in the Northwest Indiana region.
