About Us

 

Lyn Graves

Flowers are my life-literally! It is all I know and it is all that I do. I set up my first wedding at the age of 9 and now my portfolio includes over 11,000 weddings and events in 14+ states!

Michael Whaley

I like to characterize myself as a designer who can think outside the box-allowing our clients to maximize their budgets-and, at the same time, producing creations that exceed their visions.
