Touchpoint Conference & Avenues Street Fair

Two exciting events coming my way this week (besides the wedding I'm delivering today). On Friday I have the opportunity to attend the annual Touchpoint conference hosted by a wonderful group called Startup Princess. The conference is for women entrepreneurs and I am so excited to attend. I've heard great things so far! I will be designing 4 different arrangements for the conference as well and Startup Princess gave me free reign. I love that!
I am also participating in the Salt Lake City Avenues Street Fair on Saturday. My friend Stacy at Three Winks Studio and I are doing a booth together. I am very excited about this too. I love the street fair and I am very excited to be working with Stacy. So if you don't have anything to do on Saturday, come on down! Scratch that...just cancel whatever you are doing this Saturday and come on down! :)

Confessions of a Flower Addict

When I was young, I simply couldn't help picking my neighbors pink petunias, secretly stashing sunny marigolds in my pocket, or delicately arranging daisies in soda pop bottles. As I've gotten older, my love for flowers has become more refined (with a lot less stealing and stashing).

So, thanks to a couple of retail florist jobs and a design degree, in 2005 I created Persimmon Floral Design. It seemed like a healthier way to feed my floral addiction and has been blossoming (pun intended) ever since.

Persimmon Floral Design is based in Salt Lake City, but if you need flowers elsewhere in the state of Utah, please call. I love to hop in the car (or ride my bike, if it's mostly downhill) and go almost anywhere in need of delightful, custom floral design.

Persimmon Floral specializes in weddings and fancy events, but is also available for funerals and other occasions.

Consultations are free and fun (if you don't mind me saying so), so give me a call or send an email my way.

"Hi Megan! Thank you so much for making our wedding book so beautiful!!! I loved the bouquets and the centerpieces were exactly what I was thinking of. I think everything turned out great. Love Dave & Grace"

"Dear Megan, It feels like it's been so long since your gorgeous flowers brightened our wedding. I have to admit, I miss planning with you! My mom and I had way too much fun I'm afraid. We wanted to take a moment and thank you for all of the time and effort you put into making our wedding look beautiful. The flowers were by far my favorite part to plan. You were such a delight to work with. I hope you know I am recommending you to everyone. You are wonderful to work with, gifted at what you do, and tons of fun! Much love, Nate & Ashley"

"Megan, Thanks for making such beautiful flower arrangements. I loved everything. I was so happy when I walked into the bridal room and saw three vases with amazing flower arrangements in them. Thanks for being a part of our special day. Jamie & Jaron"

"Megan, I just wanted to say thank you. You did a great job with the wedding flowers. We received several compliments on the beauty and style of the arrangements. The flowers were our favorite things about the wedding. You were so fun and easy to work with! Thank you, Vicki"

"Dear Megan, Thank you so much for the amazing flowers. My bouquet was incredibly beautiful and more spectacular than I could have imagined. I am particularly grateful and impressed you were able to do everything within our budget. I plan to recommend you to anyone in need of a fabulous florist. Again, thank you. Sincerely, Candice"
