Meet Your Bloom Besties
With over a decade of experience in the wedding and event industry, our journey began when Christine, certified Wedding Planner through the WPIC, started her career. After a couple of years successfully planning weddings, her best friend Lindsey proposed the idea of incorporating wedding florals into her business portfolio. The decision was a no-brainer – working with your best friend and creating beautiful floral arrangements, who could say no to that? And so, that year XO Events & Florals was born!
