My guest this week is Kim Delgado, the Owner and Creative Director behind Mary Stuart Flowers, a bridal floral design enterprise that prides itself on capturing the unique narrative with her couples through the charm of local, seasonal blooms.
In this episode, we’re discussing a lot about sourcing local flowers and how she has this conversation especially when booking weddings. Kim shares her partnership with the Connecticut Flower Collective to ensure her designs reflect the beauty and energy of the local blooms. We also discuss using Rooted Farmers software as a sourcing tool for sourcing many of the flowers she uses.
Today’s about creating a community where local growers and floral designers can thrive together, embracing the rhythm of the seasons for your clients. Let’s embark on this floral adventure together where every bloom has a story waiting to be told. It’s all happening this week with Kim Delgado on The Flower Podcast.
