“We both have such similar artsy backgrounds and share similar values for florals and the people we work for,” said Smith, recalling their first meeting years ago at Intermezzo Coffee & Cocktails, where Holland was hosting her debut floral event.

“Together, we are building different experiences whether people are coming in to learn how to make arrangements or need to order flowers for a wedding.”

The 2,200-square-foot shop, located in the Hillside Center retail strip owned by former City Council member Robert Blackmon, features an open-concept layout with a drive-thru window, lush garden, and a dedicated workshop area.

The shop softly opened on October 15, with a grand opening celebration planned for November 4, featuring local vendors, music, floral candle making, and food and drinks.
