Hey

hi

hello!

My name is Catherine Shannon and I am the owner and designer of Catherine Rose Floral Design. When I am not designing, you can find me soaking in the hot tub, having a flight of beer with my husband, or working on projects around our home!

Though I always had an interest in design, it wasn't until I attended the Floral Design Institute in Portland, Oregon that I discovered that working in wedding and event florals was my dream job. I found that floral design offers the perfect balance of art, science, and business that I thrive in! Because of this, each and every piece that I design is truly made with love and heart.

I feel so blessed to meet and work with so many couples on such an important day in their lives. I love to talk flowers, colors, and styles, and help my couples find the best options to bring their vision to life!
