Hi friends — I’m Melissa! 😊🌸
If you’re new here, welcome to Simply Rustic Floral Design! And if you’ve been with me for a while, thank you for being part of this journey. With our busy season kicking off, I wanted to take a moment to reintroduce myself and share a little bit of how this all began.
I opened Simply Rustic Floral Design in 2020, right in the heart of the pandemic. It was a scary time to take a leap — but I truly felt led by the Lord to step into this new chapter. Every part of this journey — the highs and the hard lessons — I believe were chosen for me, and I give all the credit and praise to Him.
When I first opened in Crosslake’s Town Square, I met Terri, who graciously came alongside me and taught me everything I know. She was with me through those first two foundational years, and I’ll forever be grateful for her heart and guidance.
After a few years of growing, learning, and designing with love, I moved Simply Floral to a new (but familiar!) location — the original home of Judy’s House of Gifts. We’ve now been in this sweet space for a year, and it’s truly starting to feel like home.
Today, I’m so thankful to be creating beautiful floral designs and sharing in your special moments — whether it’s a birthday, a wedding, or just because. I’m beyond blessed to serve the Crosslake community and look forward to all that’s ahead.
If we haven’t met yet, I’d love for you to stop in and say hello. And if we have met — thank you for helping make this dream a reality.
With love & flowers,
Melissa 💐
