Honestly, I still can't believe this is my job. I grew up in Mount Juliet, Tennessee — and some of my earliest memories of flowers are of my great-Aunt Betty’s big, beautiful flower beds in her backyard. It was magical, and still rests in my memories to this day!
I studied interior design, and those classes in color theory and spatial instincts carried directly into floral work. I started working at a local flower shop — loved it, until I didn't. After losing a close friend, I couldn't keep designing around sympathy arrangements. So I pivoted to weddings, and something shifted immediately. I was designing for the best days of people's lives, not the hardest ones. Within a year, I had started The Floral Pop. Here I am, years later, still completely in love with what I do.
I've been a guest on the Nashville Bride Guide podcast, traveled to Utah for styled shoots, done weddings in Montana, and I'll go just about anywhere love takes me. I value honesty, and I'll always be honest with you about what's possible from our very first conversation.
A backcountry horseback trip in British Columbia, Canada. No electricity, no cell service, no running water. It was amazing! I’ve also been lucky enough to travel to multiple other countries and every place has shaped the way I see beauty and design.
The trip I still talk about:
My family. And chocolate.
What I can’t live without
Chick-fil-A sweet tea! Though a good black Americano is a very close second - especially in the morning!
My drink order:
Dahlias. Ranunculus. Roses. In that order on most days. On other days I might rearrange them.
My favorite flowers:
