“The magic of flowers is that they can instantly change and recharge a mood, they’re quite powerful that way – Which is where I come in!” - Kris Mckee
Kris didn't start out in flowers. She actually had a successful career in nursing for almost 20 years before deciding to follow her heart into floristry. She felt like something was missing and wanted to explore her creative side. So, she took a leap of faith, especially during the uncertain times of the pandemic.
What Kris loves most about working with flowers for weddings is the chance to tell a story. Each bouquet and arrangement is like a chapter in a love story, reflecting the personalities and dreams of the couple. She's not big on following trends but prefers to create something special and meaningful for each wedding.
When helping couples choose their wedding flowers, Kris advises them to think about what flowers are in season and what holds sentimental value for them. From there, she works closely with them to bring their ideas to life, whether it's with traditional bouquets or more unique installations like hanging flowers. Kris is also known for bringing a vintage aesthetic into her work, creating floral designs that are both timeless in design and romantic in emotion.
One thing that sets Kris apart is her commitment to sustainability. She tries to use locally grown flowers as much as possible and avoids imports to reduce her environmental impact.
For Kris, the best part of her job is seeing the joy on couples' faces when they see their flowers for the first time. It's about more than just making things look pretty—it's about creating memories that will last a lifetime.
