I’M RETIRING
My career as a wedding planner and florist has filled my heart and soul with so much joy. I hold a special place for EVERY couple and their families that I had the pleasure of planning a part of their lives and watching them celebrate such a memorable event.
To me.. you are all my extended family.❣️❣️
I am forever grateful for the relationships I established with so many beautifully talented and loving people of the wedding industry. It takes a TEAM🫶
My staff is irreplaceable and leave me with a smile in my heart for all their hard work, dedication, and ability to overlook my perfectionistic drive and come to know the “fun” Robin(at the reception dinner table). I love you all💕

In reflection… it’s still hard to comprehend how after leaving 20 years as an Art teacher, it all started as a mother planning her daughters wedding sooo many years ago, then connecting with a wedding planner(🥰Marie) that mentored me, then taking on florals, design and planning within the business. Working hard, self educating, and after years of experience, finally launched into a career that acknowledged me in the top
of my field with other amazing planners, designers, and florist in our city. It’s been so fulfilling!! I made a lot of amazing friends.
I’ve learned so many lessons along the way and have been inspired endlessly by so many. I remember a bride in my earlier years(Stephy)telling me, “don’t you ever quit this job, you’re too good at it!” I will never forget that feeling of “OMG, it’s her wedding night and she’s taking the time to share such a compliment!❤️”
I remember EVERY brides “ smiles for miles” moment(s) and the best “end of the night” hugs from soooo many brides, grooms, moms & dads.
What’s my future plans?
Personal: I plan to continue to enjoy Gods blessings, my family, travel, gardening, and always being creative. (Especially with flowers)
Career: Hmmm???I want to:
Teach fun floral workshops.
Design floral installations for special events & businesses.
Freelance with fellow florist.
Mentor upcoming Wedding planners & designers.
HAVE FUN WITH FLOWERS!!
Some wedding career advice:
Always be kind!! Don’t ever burn bridges!!
You can learn something from everyone, so watch, listen, and be humble.
Be extra prepared, but also flexible.
When super exhausted.. it means you need to hire more HELPERS🙌
Again, thank you to everyone that played any part in my tiny business over the last 13 years…can’t wait for what’s next????? I’m gonna miss this chapter and use some tissues for a bit, but its exciting to see what’s next🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Happy 5th Anniversary to Ryan & Sydney ❣️
Pictures were captured by an amazing photographer that is no longer in business.
Time flies. This wedding seems like yesterday. This was my very first wedding at Biltwell Event Center. Ryan & Sydney were so sweet in every way imaginable. Sydney was so easy going thru the entire wedding planning and decor process. It was an unforgettable day for many💕💕

Feeling romantic spring vibes! My ultimate favorite type of ceremony florals to design as they make a beautiful backdrop for the couple and can be repurposed for the reception.

I don’t think we’ll ever stop loving the lush tropicals and timeless details of this summer wedding. Bring on summer and romance… my two favorite☀️❤️

Hey Friends if you follow me on Instagram… please know that the hacker still has control of my account!!! They now have made a wallet on my account and looks like they are trying to sell bitcoin. DO NOT engage with my account… it is not me. I’m working hard to get my account back but it’s starting to look almost like it’s impossible. It’s very very frustrating as it is basically my resume of all my work to the outside world😝😝😖

Hi friends… my Instagram has been hacked!!!! Please do not vote for me for anything as it is a SCAM!!!!

Hello 2022!

11/07/2021

Feeling a little nostalgic tonight. It’s a time of year we reflect on what we are “thankful” for. I remember the very first wedding I did and I have learned so much over the last 11 years. I’ve established so many wonderful relationships with clients, staff, and vendors. You also learn that all experiences “good or bad” help you grow as a business owner. I don’t call myself an entrepreneur…I am driven by the joy I see on the faces and in the hearts of my clients on their wedding day. I’m a Romantic nature loving creative that thrives for organization and unreachable perfection.
I am so thankful for the knowledge, blessings, and LOVE this business has shown me❣️ I’m also thankful for to capture me on one of the most romantic wedding days I’ve been able to experience which was to be a designer and florist on my own daughters wedding day. It was a magical day✨✨✨

I finally have a few minutes to share some of my favorite photos from this amazing photo gallery from Sarah and Rachel Wedding Photographers. It's not very often that I get brides that chose a bright color palette, but it's so fun when they do!! I will always have a special place in my heart for this couple. Emily Biehl you bring light and love wherever you are!!
