www.fairfax-flowers.comI am a home-based event florist. I personalize every design, I provide excellence at each event, and I limit my availability to only 20 events per year. Uniquely, I carry my “shop” in a highly organized tool-box to every delivery, so I have at my disposal everything I need to create amazing designs virtually anywhere. I specialize in wedding floral visions. From $700 to $5,000 and everything in between, I work with clients to maximize their budget while also maximizing floral impact at the event. I have designed for events at The Four Seasons, The St. Regis in DC, The Avery at Georgetown, The US Naval Academy Officer's Club, The Odyssey Cruise on the Potomac, Georgetown Westin, Barns at Wolf Trap, The St. Regis in Baltimore, and so many more. I book only 20 wedding contracts per year. Other events are scheduled on an availability basis.I received training in European hand-tied bouquets in May, 2012 through the Middle Atlantic Florists Association.I also received training from world-renowned floral designer René van Rems on Fashion Forward Weddings: Bouquets, Tablescapes, and Beyond.I have known corsage and boutonniere design since I was 10 years old.I raised azaleas with my dad for many years.I delivered flowers to pay the bills through graduate school.With over 12 years in the wedding industry and floral design industry, I love providing a look of exquisite abundance.

Conklyn's Creates... is the motto and marketing campaign slogan I developed from the moment I came on board with Conklyn's Florist. I have been developing a personal and social media savvy brand to expand their reach and presence across the scope of marketing opportunities. In the past 6 months, I've been able to conduct one flower giveaway up on Capitol Hill, and one charity give back/green event in our base city of Alexandria. I've increased the engagement on Facebook and Twitter. Most importantly, I've fallen in love with flowers and the intense ways in which flowers affect the lives of our clients. It's so much fun!
