LUSH for Home and Garden
Lorin Cutrell, who wed her soul mate Chase in May of 2019, sought a natural look for her wedding flowers, which incorporated lots of greenery and white flowers while also adding a bit of blush accents. Though she had a rough idea going into her first meeting with the team at LUSH, she says Tim Burt really helped bring her vision to life. “Tim was able to narrow in and go through each of the photos I brought as an example. He was able to explain each photograph and point out each flower while informing me of their price point. This was extremely helpful and informative,” she says. From the beginning, Lorin told Tim she fully trusted him, and he did not take this lightly. Tim ensured Lorin received the level of care and attention he provides each of his brides. “I always looked forward to our meetings and phone calls. Tim treated me like I was his only customer. Throughout our whole experience, Tim became a part of my family. He was always interested in more than just what he was responsible for. He added to the love that my husband and I received during our wedding experience. I can say that Tim became more than just our florist, he is now a friend.”
“From the start, I told Tim that I trusted him. He never disappointed us.” –Lorin Cutrell

Bloom Flower Artistry
New to the Bay area is Bloom Flower Artistry, and sister-friends Christy Calhoun and Heather Kinder are thrilled to bring their talents to the Mobile and Baldwin County wedding scene. Both women love the process of designing their clients’ dream arrangements and believe that as important as the final product is, the “getting there” is equally invaluable.
The recent wedding of Breanna and Eric McDaniel was a particularly special event for Christy and Heather to work on, as the bride’s mother is a close friend of Christy’s mother. “Breanna knew what she wanted to see on her day,” Christy shares. “She gave us her color story of French blue, shades of pinks, and pops of green. She gave us a few descriptive words, sent over inspiration photos, and we started brainstorming what she wanted to see splashed with those colors in her venues. She loved everything we presented in the proposal and we were able to bring her vision to life,” Christy says. Breanna’s arrangements included roses, hydrangeas, peonies, and more. Sourced from trusted local wholesalers, each flower helped bring the bride’s vision to life and create the wedding of her dreams. “Our wedding wouldn’t have been the gorgeous success it was without Christy and Bloom,” Breanna says. “Knowing the flowers were one less thing to stress about just made the whole day that much more enjoyable,” Breanna adds, insisting that working with Bloom was one of the most effortless parts of planning her wedding. “After talking with Christy, I saw how knowledgeable and caring she was,” Breanna says. “I knew I could trust her to make our vision come to life.”
The love for their work and their clients is evident in the care the ladies at Bloom show to each individual bride. “We want to ensure our brides feel loved and heard as they go through this sometimes hectic, stressful season of life,” Christy says. “We want them to know we’ve been there before; we have their back and we’re going to have a lot of fun guiding them through this process.” Christy says her hope is that clients leave Bloom feeling more confident than when they arrived, and further comforted knowing they have made a couple new friends in the process. “We truly believe that our clients are placed in front of us for a purpose much bigger than ourselves and we treat each one as we would want to be treated: with kindness and respect,” Christy says.
