Wisps of Willow

Location: Virginia Beach

I started my floral career at The Fresh Market in Hilltop when I was in my late teens. I started traveling, opening new locations, training new florist and running one of the largest floral departments for the company in my early 20s. It was a major introduction into the floral industry, and I learned so much at such a young age. Over the years, I also broadened my skills by interning at Heidi's Flowers which was located off of Great Neck Road. From there I ran two locations at Virginia Beach Florist as the General Manager and lead Wedding Designer. In 2018, I decided to venture out on my own and start what I've always dreamed of. I opened Wisps of Willow Florist. Since then, I have become the florist for The Historic Cavalier Hotel and many other amazing companies and clients. In 2023, I opened my first B&M location in The ViBe Creative District of Virginia Beach, located at 2006 Mediterranean Avenue.
