My career in floral design started in 2003 when I began working for an independent flower shop in Edmonds, Washington. I started my own business in 2009 and have been doing floral arranging for weddings and special events ever since.

I do floral design because I love working with flowers and being able to use my skills to bless others. For this reason, I charge considerably less than the typical florist. For a free consultation or even just a chat, email me at melissacushman1106@gmail.com

Floral Workshops


Kind words…

“I recently had the opportunity to take a 1-on-1 floral design workshop with Melissa, and it was an absolutely amazing experience! Melissa is such a talented floral designer and is incredibly generous with her knowledge.  We made a centerpiece and a bouquet, and while the workshop covered invaluable hands-on design work, it also included information about flower care, tools, mechanics, etc.  Melissa really took the time to get to know me and understand my goals for the workshop, which led to a really unique and customized experience.  This was a truly enriching experience that significantly increased my technique and my confidence in my work!” -Annie

“Melissa's floral class was an absolute delight! It's a hands-on experience that not only allowed me to dive deep into the art of flower arrangement but also equipped me with invaluable knowledge on processing flowers. Melissa had everything meticulously planned out with a detailed and organized class outline. Her expertise and structured approach made all the difference. I highly recommend this class to anyone looking to enhance their floral arrangement skills.” - Stephanie
