"Flowers add beauty and magic to any occasion, and I'm continually inspired by the opportunity to take your special day and make it extraordinary."

Hi, I'm Colleen!

...the heart and soul behind Palmetto Bloom. With over 20 years of experience as an English teacher and program director, I've always had a passion for educating and empowering others. Now, as the owner at Palmetto Bloom, I bring that same dedication to helping couples like you navigate the world of wedding flowers with confidence and creativity. My mission at Palmetto Bloom is simple: to work together with you to create the wedding of your dreams.

Our Story

Palmetto Bloom has a rich history rooted in a shared love for flowers and a passion for creativity. Founded in 2015 by Jonie Larosee , the business quickly gained a reputation for its stunning floral designs and personalized approach to weddings and events. Colleen had the incredible opportunity to purchase the business from Jonie and to continue its legacy of excellence. Today, Jonie remains an integral part of the Palmetto Bloom family, bringing her unparalleled experience and expertise to every project. Together, they work hand-in-hand to create beautiful things, weaving their unique talents and perspectives to craft unforgettable floral arrangements that capture the essence of each couple's love story.

Our Values

Our core values guide everything we do. We believe in creating a safe, supportive environment where couples feel encouraged to explore their unique vision and try something new. We treat every couple like family, ensuring they feel taken care of every step of the way.

What We Love

What we love most about what we do is the co-creative aspect of floral design. Our greatest joy is to help couples realize their own unique vision for their wedding day. Whether it's starting with a simple vessel and incorporating unexpected elements or an over the top floral installation, we thrive on bringing your vision to life in the most beautiful and meaningful way possible.
