Who are we?
Hi, I'm Tammy and my husband Steve and I are the owner/operators of the The Flower Boutique. We own a full service florist located in Matthews, NC., just right on the outskirts of Charlotte. We have a small town, relaxed atmosphere but we are used to the hustle and bustle of the big City.
I have been working with fresh flowers since 1987, I had taken a floral class but could not get my foot in the door, it was a tough Industry to get accepted into. If you didn't have any experience no one wanted to waste their time training you. I lucked up and found a shop that had someone quit just after Christmas and they really needed someone to fill the spot, so finally my big break had come. Nervous and scared I jumped in with both feet eager to learn all I could. Now 27 years later I still pride myself on staying on top of the trends and new techniques in this ever changing Industry.
I had a shop in South Carolina for 14 years which I closed in September 2009. My husband, Steve had never really been involved with my shop before but after a job loss in 2008 during the economic crisis he found himself unable to find a work. With lots of prayer we came to a decision to open a boutique type flowers shop in Matthews NC. Steve has made many changes and has had to learn a great deal about fresh flowers and how to properly care for them. We work together daily and we each have our own thing that we do best. His job starts the minute the flowers arrive, he carefully opens and processes each bundle so that you, the customer gets the most enjoyment from them. He also is our primary delivery person, he really loves to see the smile that comes across a persons face when they receive flower. I am all into anything with flowers, I just love to bring joy to people. I am the senior designer and a multitask-er and I am constantly learning all I can so that I can stay ahead of the game..
Our lead designer is Lei, she's young, vibrant and full of energy. She just graduated from Central Piedmont Community College with a degree in Applied Science in Interior Design and Architecture. Lei had been working in the Wedding Floral Industry before completing her degree. We are so excited to have her join our team.
We are here to make planning your wedding day as easy and stress free as possible. We are here for you 24/7, and can be reached at 704.708.8549
