Hello! I am Kristen the owner and lead floral designer for Pine and Poppies. I was born and raised in rainy Seattle, Washington and moved to sunny Long Beach, California in 2010, talk about a change of scenery! I grew up in a gardening family and remember always loving flowers, but it never occurred to me that I could actually make a career out of flowers! Ever since my own wedding I fell in love with being a part of these truly meaningful moments in peoples lives. After assisting in weddings for years, in 2018 I decided to start my own floral design business.
When I am not busy designing I love playing with my two girls Lois and Maebel, and working on home improvement projects with my patient and willing husband.
I love my job!
