It's been a very busy season for all my vendors this spring, so I am a bit behind collecting
my great vendors information. This week we are looking at a wonderful florist, Melanie
Tipton with Last Petal www.lastpetal.com

1. How long have you been in business?
8 years

2. What drew you to your profession?
I received a horticulture degree and have always been fascinated by the beauty of flowering
and non-flowering plants.  I was fortunate to become part of the floral design program at A&M
and was introduced to the artistry of flowers through their unique program.

3. What is the best part about your job?
Working with my favorite thing, flowers!   I also love being able to create new designs for
each individual client...making their weddings one of a kind and unique to their special day
and experience.

4. With all your experience, what bit advice would you like
to share?
I have more than one that I think are both really important.    
Number One:  Really and truly, invest in a wedding coordinator.  It is helpful not only to the
bride, but all her vendors as well. It will make your day run smoothly and more carefree
and will do the same for our day.  
Secondly:  Trust your vendors......if you have a comfortable enough relationship and feel
confident from that very first meeting the communication has been clear and concise....
then trust that we have your best interests at heart and want to make your wedding as
spectacular as possible.  This will help take the stress off of you for your day that should
be filled with nothing but true happiness.  We really strive to have our brides carefree and
completely happy!
