Georgia-grown, perpetually foul-mouthed but always swooning
Her name is Emily. Growing up in Carrollton, Georgia, there were apparently quite a few of those — enough that folks just started calling her Em to keep things straight. It stuck. And eventually it became the name on the door of the business she built stem by stem, in her garage.
After earning her bachelors in public health and master’s in education at Georgia Southern University (Go Eagles!) she planted roots in Statesboro. Emily then spent the next twenty years in the classroom shaping young minds. Bless their hearts. Seriously.
Teaching mattered — it still does — but it wasn’t her thing nor did it fulfill her in a way she thought a career should. Em had a feeling. That persistent, Southern-stubborn kind. That intuition that she had another garden that needed to flourish.
So, she did what any sensible 25 year-old woman with a toddler does: she went to the garage and built a business. She spent the better part of a two decades working both vocations. In 2021, she chose to listen to what she always knew….flowers were her happy and she made the leap to making this already full-time gig, her ONLY gig.
What Emily brings to your wedding isn’t just an eye for beauty. It’s the understanding — deep, Southern-patient — that your day is yours. That the flowers aren’t decoration. They’re punctuation. They’re the scent your mother will remember years from now. The exquisite color your grandmother leans over to touch. The weight of something real in your hands as you walk toward your person.
Flowers have their own language. They tell their own story. And Em — who raised two children (both Georgia Bulldogs), taught hundreds more, and has been moved by blooms every single time she handles them — is fluent. She calls it swooning: to become enraptured. Flowers make her swoon. Every. Single. Time.
why couples choose em:
-
Your vision isn't a brief to her — it's a conversation. Fulfilling YOUR dream is the number one priority.
-
Not pretentiously — joyfully. The sight, the smell, the color, the weight of a bouquet in a bride's hands: all of it conspires to make a moment into a memory. She knows this. She plans for it.
-
She shows up having lost a little sleep over it — in the best possible way. Every wedding has mattered to her. Not because it's good business. Because she genuinely cannot help it. She gets one shot to make this day perfect. One. And it is not a task she takes lightly.
-
Georgia-raised, Southern-bred, and proud mother with the vocabulary of a well-educated sailor. You're not hiring a vendor. You're getting a fun friend, a creative and a partner.
