The Florist Behind the Flowers
About Kari
Hi, I am Kari
Flowers have been part of my story since the very beginning.
My passion for design began at a young age. I was introduced to the floral industry because of my mother's dream of opening her own shop — a place where I spent many years learning techniques and the retail and wholesale floral industry from the inside out.
Those years gave me more than just skills. They gave me a deep respect for the craft — for the care it takes to source the right blooms, condition them properly, and shape them into something that moves people. Flowers, I learned, are never just decoration. They are how we mark the moments that matter most.
I started I Do Flowers by Kari to bring that same love and expertise to my own clients. When you work with me, you get my full attention — no templates, no shortcuts, just flowers chosen and arranged with genuine care for you and your occasion.
— Kari
What I Believe
My Philosophy
Made with Love
Every arrangement is treated as if it were for someone I care about deeply. That intention shows in every stem.
Seasonally Inspired
I work with what's fresh, local, and in season whenever possible — because nature's timing is always perfect.
Artisan Craft
No two arrangements are identical. Each one is hand-designed, shaped by the occasion and the person it is made for.
Personal Touch
You work directly with me — not a coordinator or assistant. Your vision gets my full attention from start to finish.
Where the Magic Happens
The Studio
My studio is a small, light-filled space where I spend my mornings surrounded by buckets of fresh stems, the smell of greenery, and the quiet satisfaction of making something beautiful from scratch.
Every order is prepared here by hand. I source flowers from local growers when the season allows, and supplement with the finest imported blooms for the varieties that cannot be grown nearby. Quality is never compromised.
The studio is open for pickup Tuesday through Saturday. If you would like to stop by for a consultation or to collect your order, I would love to welcome you in.
"Flowers are the punctuation of a life well lived."
The Journey
A Lifelong Love of Flowers
The Beginning
My passion for design began at a young age, introduced to the floral industry through my mother's dream of opening her own shop.
The Education
I spent many years in that shop learning techniques, the art of design, and the ins and outs of both retail and wholesale floristry.
The Craft
Those years of hands-on experience gave me a deep foundation — from sourcing and conditioning blooms to creating arrangements for every occasion.
The Business
I channeled everything I had learned into launching I Do Flowers by Kari, bringing that same love and expertise to my own clients.
Today
I continue to create custom arrangements for weddings, events, and everyday moments — each one made with the same care my mother taught me to bring to every flower.
