Intro to Me!

Hello all!

I know there are a lot of new people around here so I figured I would write a quick intro to me!

Let’s start with the basics! My name is Kathryn Miller. I started Beautifully Bloomed in the fall of 2019 as a causal side business. I starting growing my own flowers and the business flourished! By the Spring of 2021, I decided I wanted to try this full-time and here we are! I love what I do and specifically getting to serve my couples with some of the best service and product that Iowa has to offer! Some other fun facts are:

  • Recently, I have retired my sweet husband from wedding work. As much as I love spending quality time together, I want him to have more rest days so now you will see me and potentially my gal, Melissa at wedding <3
  • I have a dog (Stevie) and cat (Kevin) that are my world. Steve is a golden retriever that would smother you in love. Kev, on the other hand, has FOMO.
  • Boutonnieres are my jam. I seriously love them. I think they are intricate and beautiful!
  • I had a degree in Elementary Education. I taught in the public schools for a bit but went out on a limb and so thankful that I did.
  • My favorite designs are centerpieces. Okay – favorite might be a lie. I love all design, but there is a special place in my heart for centerpieces. I love thinking about the family surrounding the table, joking, socializing, enjoying their time together and celebrating the happy couple.
  • Our “micro flower farm” is just short of 2.5 acres. Sometimes I call in a farm but most days I call it my gardens. I originally thought that I would be a flower farming, going to farmers markets, type of gal, but my calling is weddings. I love them dearly.
  • I designed my own arrangements for my wedding in 2019. Oh boy, please do not dig up those pictures. At the time, I was very proud of them but now….

That’s a bit about me! Let me know anything else you’d like to know!

-Kathryn

It’s about more than hiring someone to hold a create a bouquet and a few centerpieces. Wedding floral design is about carefully crafting and capturing the beauty of you and your significant other in a way that beautifully tells the story of your love.
