Jennifer Riley
Hi there, I am Jennifer, the creative & operating partner, floral designer, holiday decorator & event entertainment coordinator. I ran a giftshop & did floral design for an industry professional from age 19 to 28. During that time, I studied in Almere, a suburb of Amsterdam, Holland under amazing talents from all over Europe! It was a highlight of my career & I believe set the tone for my distinctive work & true creative mindset! I began working on my own at age 30- taking care of multiple clients & businesses daily, weekly & creating for special events including wedding weekends!
I was chosen to do the florals in Montgomery, Alabama for the newly built & decorated home & cast/crew party of Extreme Home Makeover in February 2009. My crew and I also had the cool & huge privilege, in 2012, 2013 & 2014, of designing for the VIP suites & AT&T suites at the Kentucky Oaks & Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs! I designed each look, it was approved by a committee, we made the trip to Kentucky & we brought all the arrangements to life within 4 days & nights! 1000’s of pink & red roses along with other blooms were used to create 900+ arrangements!
As far as my designing - I strive to be uniquely creative in each project I am chosen to be involved with! I have never in all these years of serving my clients ever repeated a look exactly! It is my pleasure to come up with new exciting looks for each person I meet with! I love what I am privileged to do- my motto is passionately live & create- I promise you this is what you will receive if I am chosen to bring your event to life!!!
