NICOLE

Chief Executive Officer

A Savannah transplant, Nicole was born and raised on the opposite side of the country in rainy Portland, Oregon. Nicole is outdoorsy, weird, creative, funky and hard-working. She loves flowers, the beach, tacos, cats, dinosaurs (especially her Springer Spaniel, T. Rex,) kickball and Instagram. On any given workday Nicole can be found replying to 100's of wedding planning e-mails, creating floral design proposals, managing the shop and doing all the tasks that come with running and operating a small business.

She is passionate about every aspect of weddings and loves being able to run a business that helps brides find their wedding dress and accessories, and then going a step further to offer wedding planning and wedding coordination as well as floral design to couples.
