Today we’d like to introduce you to Adelya Zhapparova
Hi Adelya, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
I have been an entrepreneur for almost 10 years. I have always been passionate about beauty, jewelry, flowers, and art. I started my first business in my hometown of Shymkent, Kazakhstan, creating personalized jewelry by hand. As the business grew, I hired one, then two, and eventually five jewelers, turning it into a small factory. I went on to open three jewelry shops—two in Shymkent and one in Astana, the capital of Kazakhstan. After eight years of running my jewelry business, I wanted to expand internationally, so I opened my first flower shop in Dallas. Now, I am focused on running and developing my businesses further.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
My entrepreneurial journey was anything but smooth. For nearly 10 years, I worked tirelessly, putting in 18-hour days, 7 days a week. Running multiple shops in different cities, managing around 10 employees, and overseeing every detail of my business was a challenge. I was responsible not only for creating personalized jewelry but also for handling marketing, managing distribution, and ensuring the quality of every piece. As my business expanded from a small workshop in Shymkent to three jewelry shops, including one in Astana, the demands only grew. It wasn’t just about making products; it was about building a brand and ensuring consistency across all my stores. Despite the challenges, I persisted, driven by my passion for beauty, art, and craftsmanship. After eight years, I took a leap internationally, opening a flower shop in Dallas. Today, I am continuing to grow and develop my businesses, always striving for excellence
We’ve been impressed with Leyla Company LLC, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Having spent years as an entrepreneur in the jewelry industry, I decided to follow another passion of mine: flowers. The two fields, in many ways, are connected—both are about creating beauty and bringing joy to people’s lives. That’s how I founded my premium flower shop in Dallas, which specializes in high-end flower arrangements. We offer over 200 unique and intricate floral designs for our customers to choose from, whether for daily arrangements or special occasions.
We have built a reputation for our exceptional wedding designs, catering to large-scale weddings with personalized floral arrangements that make every ceremony unforgettable. But our work doesn’t stop at weddings. We also provide decorations for birthdays, parties, and other major events. No matter the occasion, our priority is always the same: to deliver exactly what we promised. The flower industry can be unpredictable, as flowers are delicate and each batch is unique, making it difficult to replicate past work. Despite that, our team strives to recreate designs to match the expectations we set for our customers. This commitment to consistency and reliability is what truly sets us apart.
One of the aspects of our business that we are particularly proud of is offering peonies year-round. In Dallas, it’s hard to find peonies, especially during the fall and winter months, but we go the extra mile to ensure that these beloved flowers are always available to our clients. This dedication to going above and beyond has helped us build trust with our customers, and we are proud to be the go-to source for premium flower arrangements in the area. Whether it’s a wedding, birthday, or simply a beautiful bouquet for a loved one, our mission is to deliver beauty and joy, every single time.
What are your plans for the future?
We have exciting plans for the future, starting with opening new locations in Austin and Houston. We’re also shifting our focus more towards the wedding industry, as we’ve seen tremendous success with wedding arrangements and decorations. Over the next five years, our goal is to expand nationwide, with shops in major cities like New York, Miami, Los Angeles, and Chicago. We believe our commitment to high-quality floral arrangements and exceptional customer service will allow us to grow into one of the most recognized flower brands across the United States
