Our Story
Finding Inspiration in Life's Precious Moments
A mother, a daughter, an art passed down, beautiful flowers, and a vision...
Two women blessed with creativity and a passion to turn visions into reality.
We want to compose custom, permanent florals that will last as long as your memories, and that is how
Blooming Ever Afters
was born.
We are a growing business with many years of combined experience, with love and support from our family.
As more people sought us out or refer us to their friends, our excitement has exploded, our dream has taken flight!
Our commitment is to make every client feel like they are family.
Time is set aside to meet with our clients personally and sketch out their ideas and vision.
Each piece of the arrangement is hand selected silk or real feel florals in colors that will best compliment the dream day.
Beads and lace are hand sewn, and we wire and glue every stem individually to ensure your flowers remain beautiful.
There is no wilting, fading, or bruising, and your flowers can even be lightly scented.
Our website currently has several photos of completed work while the blog will be ever developing.
Eventually, we hope to offer video clips of each client's arrangements being put together.
Just like in nature, no two masterpieces will ever be exactly alike.
Our business is based on the Golden Rule:
"Do to others as you would have them do to you."
Luke 6:31
We believe in our Faith first, Family second,
and then everything else will fall into place.
A shared dream is now a reality and we are excited to meet new brides and the special people in their lives.
We love meeting those of you that want a custom corsage for that special dance or party, or
a special design to commemorate something important in your life.

I learned the art of creating floral arrangements over 36 years ago from my beautiful mother when I was a young bride to be. We spent hours together shopping for just the right flowers and talking about the designs we could create. I adored spending time with my mom and working beside her, watching the joy and pride on her face as she showed me how to form each piece into a reality.
​
Over the years many friends and family members asked me to design and create their wedding flowers. They would purchase the flowers and items we chose together and then I would create the pieces as my gift to the bride and groom.
​​
Having always been artistic, when my daughter married she fell in love with creating her own flowers too, just like I had with my mom. We have been blessed by creating lasting, cherished memories together. I pray that I am the kind of mother and grandmother that my mom would be proud to have raised. Having been a teacher for over 30 years, it is time to spread my wings and follow a new dream and I am thrilled and proud beyond words to share this journey with my incredible daughter.​
​
I was born and raised in Northern Kentucky, I’ve always been drawn to creativity, color, and meaningful design. After graduating from high school—where I served as colorguard captain—and later coaching colorguard alongside my mother, I developed a deep appreciation for artistry, movement, and attention to detail.
Although my career path has included cosmetology, finance, law, and logistics, floral design has always been where my heart belongs. Flowers allow me to tell stories, evoke emotion, and transform life’s most special moments into something unforgettable.
I am a loving wife, a devoted mother to my young daughter, and a proud stepmother to two wonderful children. Inspired by family and fueled by creativity, I pour my heart into every arrangement I create—designing florals that feel personal, intentional, and beautifully timeless.
