Hi, I'm Heather!
I'm the floral designer, wedding planner, and calm presence behind Once Upon A Bloom here to make your wedding feel as joyful, meaningful, and as effortless as it should.
I'm also a dog mom to Lucy - my best girl and built-in assistant. If you spend any time around me, you'll probably hear about her at least once.
I create calm, thoughtful celebrations that allow couples to feel present, joyful, and genuinely cared for throughout their wedding experience.
Weddings have always been part of my life in one way or another, and I feel incredibly grateful that the work I get to do every day is something I truly love.
My Story
Once Upon A Bloom began during a season when I was searching for purpose and learning to trust God’s plan for my life.
After earning my business degree from the University of Alabama (Roll Tide!), I began a traditional career path while continuing to work weddings on the side, coordinating events and helping my mom with catering whenever I could.
A career in the wedding industry had always been the dream…
I just wasn’t sure it would ever become my reality.
As I continued praying and seeking clarity, God made it clear that He had something different in store for me.
That path led my mom and me to build Classic Catering & Events together, and somewhere along the way, I discovered floral design.
And that's when everything clicked.
The idea of Once Upon A Bloom was planted, and over time, it blossomed into what it is today.
Get To Know Me
Outside of weddings, you'll probably find me planning my next trip - or already on one. I'm always looking for an excuse to pack a suitcase, catch a flight, and chase a little adventure.
But I'm also a homebody at heart, and nothing beats being at home with my best girl, Lucy.
I'll take cool fall days, cozy winter weather, and a good nap any day. And if we're being honest, naps and margaritas are easily two of the best parts of adulthood.
So if you're the kind of person who believes life's moments, big and small, deserve to be celebrated... we're probably going to get along really well.

You don't have to carry the weight of your wedding day - that's what I'm here for.
