Hi, I'm Heather!

I'm the floral designer, wedding planner, and calm presence behind Once Upon A Bloom here to make your wedding feel as joyful, meaningful, and as effortless as it should.

Weddings have always been part of my life in one way or another, and I feel incredibly grateful that the work I get to do every day is something I truly love.

Together, we'll create a calm, thoughtful celebration that allows you to feel present, joyful, and genuinely cared for throughout your wedding experience.

My Story

Once Upon A Bloom began during a season of searching for purpose and learning to trust God’s plan for my life.

I got my business degree from the University of Alabama (Roll Tide!) and followed a traditional career path while working weddings on the side. Weddings had always been my dream. I just wasn't sure it would ever become my reality. 

As I prayed and searched for clarity, God opened doors. Mom and I built Classic Catering & Events, and somewhere along the way, I discovered floral design.

That's when everything clicked. The idea for Once Upon A Bloom was planted, and over time, it blossomed into what it is today.

Get to know me

Outside of weddings, you'll probably find me planning my next trip - or already on one. I'm always looking for an excuse to pack a suitcase, catch a flight, and chase a little adventure.

But I'm also a homebody at heart, and nothing beats being on the couch with my best girl, Lucy.

I'll take cool fall days, cozy winter weather, and a good nap any day. And if we're being honest, naps and margaritas are easily two of the best parts of adulthood. 

If you're the kind of person who believes life's moments, big and small, deserve to be celebrated... we're probably going to get along really well.
