Behind the BloomsHello, I’m MichellE!
Creativity has always been at the heart of who I am. I was the one friends and family turned to when they needed a creative eye or a fresh perspective. But as a first-generation college student, I also felt the weight of choosing a path rooted in stability. I began my college journey studying Graphic Design, only to pivot into Accounting and Finance, where numbers became my world. While it was a departure from my creative beginnings, I’m deeply grateful for that detour—it equipped me with the business foundation that now allows me to run my floral business with intention, confidence, and purpose.
No matter how my path evolved, creativity was never far behind. Over the years, I immersed myself in countless creative outlets—cake design, event & interior styling, graphic design, and various hands-on crafts. I always knew I wanted to build something of my own that blended artistry with entrepreneurship, but nothing fully clicked until I discovered floral design. Working with flowers changed everything. It awakened a passion I didn’t even realize I was searching for. Flowers became my art, my medium, and my way of expression.
Through floral design, I finally found the perfect balance between creativity, detail, and meaning. There’s something truly special about transforming spaces with flowers—the joy, calm, and emotion they bring is something I pour into every arrangement I create. Flowers have a way of adding warmth, celebration, and effortless beauty to life’s moments, and I feel incredibly grateful to turn that passion into my work. Whether it’s a wedding, an intimate gathering, or a just-because celebration, I believe flowers have the power to make every moment feel intentional and unforgettable.
When I’m not getting my hands dirty in floral design, you can find me soaking up time with my little family, extending myself to help others, or diving into endless home projects.
Thank you for stopping by and getting to know a little about me. I can’t wait to work together to create something truly special!
About the nameEvery rose carries both beauty and strength. Its petals are soft, delicate, and fleeting - yet its thorns protect and remind us that true beauty is never without depth. A Rose’s Thorn was born from that balance. Just like a rose, floral design isn’t only about creating something pretty - its about telling a story that holds both sweetness and strength, softness and resilience, love and memory. Each arrangement is reflective of life’s contrasts: the joy of celebration, the tenderness or romance, and the unspoken strength behind every delicate bloom.
At A Rose’s Thorn, flowers aren’t just gathered - they’re transformed into poetic moments. Every bouquet whispers love, every centerpiece carries meaning, and every petal holds a piece of magic. Because just like a rose, the most beautiful things in life are made even more special by the thorns that shape them.
When I started my small business, my goal was to be the florist I wish I had when I was planning my special day! I know how important the details are when hiring a florist. That’s why we get to know you and your vision so we can translate that into beautiful floral designs.
