Floral Design Day – Meet Kaitlin

National Floral Design Day is an annual celebration of the beauty of flowers and the talented people who work with them every day.  Although largely recognized within the floral community, we thought we would take this opportunity to introduce you to one of our favorite designers, Kaitlin. If you have received a bouquet or floral arrangement from Nanz and Kraft Florists over the last couple of years, chances are excellent that Kate had something to do with it. Kate has worked at Nanz & Kraft Florists for two years. She moved to our team at the urging of her floral design mentor, who loved the environment here so much that she encouraged Kate to join her.  "It turned out to be a great opportunity for me, and I've grown so much as a designer here", she says.

A Month to Celebrate Louisville Weddings

According to the National Association of Bridal Consultants, February is National Wedding Month. Although that may not seem like the most natural choice - February is near the bottom of the list when it comes to weddings - the association shares that there is a very good reason behind the designation. February is the month that most couples begin wedding planning in earnest, and wedding consultants and vendors begin to see a spike in both inquiries and bookings for the year. Why so much activity? More people get engaged over the Christmas and New Year's holidays than any other time, and once the seasonal activity dies down, newly engaged couples are ready to get to work on their ceremony. Nanz & Kraft Florists is proud to be the chosen floral wedding planners for so many Louisville weddings! Here are a few other reasons we think February is a great time to celebrate the institution of marriage. Read More about A Month to Celebrate Louisville Weddings »
