WELCOME TO THE PORCH
Some of my earliest memories are in my aunt's flower shop in Kentucky, where I spent countless hours surrounded by fresh blooms, helping with arrangements, and learning that beautiful spaces have the power to make people feel welcomed. That's where my love of flowers, nature, and thoughtful design first began.
After graduating from Vanderbilt University and working for a few years at a local flower shop in Nashville, my passion eventually led me to New York City, where I spent the next decade with DeJuan Stroud Inc., one of the country's premier event design firms. I had the privilege of helping create unforgettable environments for weddings, galas, corporate events, and private celebrations, learning that every detail, no matter how small, contributes to how a space makes people feel.
Today, I'm back home in the Nashville area, closer to the friends and family who matter most. Wildwood Welcome is the natural next chapter. A place where I can combine everything I've learned over the years with my love of seasonal beauty, welcoming homes, and timeless design.
I believe your front porch is more than an entrance. It's the first impression of your home. Whether it's heirloom pumpkins in the fall, fresh greenery for the holidays, blooming containers in the spring, or effortless summer styling, my goal is to create spaces that feel warm, intentional, and unmistakably you.
I'm so glad you're here.
