In Good Company

 
 

Brynn Larsen // Owner

Growing up I would never let my mom put anything floral print in my room, no floral pillows, no floral print dresses, NOTHING FLORAL and my oh my, how my world has changed. Now it’s EVERYTHING FLORAL, floral walls, floral pictures and buckets of florals everywhere I look and I wouldn’t change a thing. I like to think that flowers are the tangible form of love. I LOVE witnessing people caring for others by sending them flowers they carefully pick out. I worked at a flower shop during school at Utah State University and loved it so much that I sometimes made it to work instead of school. Depression crept into my life and soon became debilitating, the only thing that got me out of bed was flowers. It was my safe space, that little shop full of pretty blooms. The companionship I found in the shop as we labored over flowers was my lifeline and little did I know it would soon be my life course. As my love for flowers grew I started to do a little on my own after I moved home from Logan. After 5 years of garage wedding work in awful temperatures and many late late LATE nights I decided to look for a full time floral gig. After a little searching, I found an apprenticeship in New York City. That week-long trip was all it took to help me know I was ready to do my own thing. I quit my day job at a law firm (while I worked there I fell ALL the way down a marble stair case while helping a lobbyist during legislature, I clearly wasn’t cut out for that line of work), and very soon after my little shop was born in the heart of downtown. After 4 years, we moved to Millcreek and are loving every minute of it, florals have even made it onto the walls in the new space. When I am not up to my elbows in flowers, shop keeping or setting up weddings I can often be found sitting on a patio enjoying live music (also I LOVE a good hip hop show), EATING AT CHUNGAS, at watercolor class or escaping the valley to soak in a lake or a pool far far away from my email and phone.  I absolutely adore being an Aunt and enjoy spending a lot of time with my family. I love making the world around me pretty (some would argue the bones in my house aren’t “pretty”) and I feel so very lucky to spend my days surrounded by BLOOMS- especially quicksand roses, they are my favorite vibe!

 
 

Kali Hebertson// Retail Coordinator + Floral Designer

Hey I’m Kali! I have been an art lover for as long as I can remember. I grew up dancing, drawing, painting, and crafting with whatever I could get my hands on, including flowers. I love creating floral arrangements with all kinds of colors and textures, but my favorite is working with pretty pastel tones and making fluffy, girly arrangements, or something with wild flowers. My favorite flower is the butterfly ranunculus because of it’s shiny and delicate petals that look like butterfly wings. When I’m not busy at the shop, I spend my time watching shows with my husband, water coloring, or enjoying nature in some way. I love getting to work with my hands and be creative every day, but my favorite part of being a florist is getting to see the happy faces from those we deliver the flowers to. Nothing warms my heart more than getting to be a part of spreading love from one person to another!

 
 

EMILY PULLeY// Floral DesigneR

Hi my name is Emily and I was born and raised here in Salt Lake City. One of my favorite flowers is Scabiosa, more specifically pink Scabiosa’s. I like anything pink and girly! When I’m not working I love spending time in the mountains hiking and biking. If I’m not up in the mountains or in the shop you can find me hanging out with my family and friends, I live for quality time with the people I love. One of my favorite parts of being a florist is being able to express my creativity through the arrangements. I am so grateful for all I have learned here at blooms and all I’m still learning!

 

Ruby// Shop Dog

My name is Ruby, but you can call me "good girl." I'm a big fan of the mailman, fluffy stuffed toys, and eucalyptus leaves. I love the opportunity to constantly meet new people that the shop brings in, and I'm very good at helping keep wedding planning stress down for brides. I accept love in the form of pats on the head, dog treats, and belly rubs. Especially belly rubs.
