My love for floral design started long ago, as I grew up on a vegetable farm that produced pretty things and naturally piqued my interest in photography and flowers.   

 

When it became time to get a job outside the farm while in high school, I started working at a grocery store. While working there, I started helping out in the floral department mostly out of necessity for the store. I watched the florists, learning from them and started to get the bug for floral design.  

 

Later on in my early 20's, I started working for a company that made pre-made bouquets for higher end grocery stores, mainly in the Twin Cities area. That is where I expanded my knowledge on names of flowers, how to process them and care for them. I then started doing floral arrangements for friends and family.  

 

As time went on, I got married and had children of my own. Throughout that time, I continued to do floral arrangements here and there, learning as I went. When my children were very young, I decided to start my very own small floral business out of my home that catered to large events and weddings. And in May of 2011, Ma Petite Fête (My Little Party), was born. This way I could work, but still be with my children and a flexible schedule while doing something that I loved. Eventually baby number three came along and I could no longer balance it all and sadly had to shut down Ma Petite Fête about a year after it started.  

 

That was over ten years ago now and a lot of life has happened during that time. One thing that always stayed constant was my love for flowers and creating, as well as the hopeless romantic in me. In the Fall of 2022, I decided to start slowly working my way back towards having a small floral business and now, here we are today.

 

 I pride myself on being reliable, down to earth, a good communicator, versatile, and making your big day as stress free as possible. I love seeing the ideas that people bring to me and give me the honor to bring to life for them. So, please, do not hesitate to bring your vision for your event or wedding my way and let's see how we can collaborate to make your vision a reality!
