About Flowers & Friends

Melissa A Sitlinger

Owner/Floral Designer

My passion for flowers and plants started when I was a child. Growing up in the middle of nowhere was the best thing to allow my imagination to flourish. The school day would end and I would be rushing off the bus to help my grandparents plant seedlings or pick the harvest from the garden. My parents had flower beds and brought the beautiful flowers inside to enjoy as well. I am passionate about being able to replicate flower gardens into a gorgeous design but also creating a unique design just for your day!

Our passion for flowers extends to all those surrounding us. When we first meet I like to get to know you to bring life into the designs. I want to hear all of your details and what you'd like to do. I want to be able to create that vision for you so beautiful memories can be made and cherished.

    Flowers and Friends completely exceeded our expectations!! We received so many compliments on the flower arrangements and we were so impressed by the quality of everything! We needed flowers for both Friday evening and Saturday evening - and we were so thrilled that they were willing to travel to our venue twice (the first on Friday afternoon and the second time on Saturday), just to make sure everything was as fresh as possible for our wedding. Highly recommend! Thanks again!!!

    We loved working with Melissa and her team to create beautiful flower arrangements for our 2021 wedding. From day one, she brought so much positivity and creativity - and it shows in her work! We received so many compliments on our centerpieces and are so thankful to have had Melissa on board for the big day! Highly recommend.

    Flowers and Friends is hands down the best florist. Melissa is extremely friendly, patient, and kind. She worked with me to plan out all of the details for my wedding day, answered all my questions about what different types of flowers would look like, and even helped me to pick out coordinating linen colors. She has such a natural talent for floral arrangements and everything she creates is absolutely gorgeous. My wedding flowers were perfect and more beautiful than I could have imagined. Melissa took my ideas and ran with them, creating unique and beautiful arrangements. She even thought of small details like drying the stems of our bouquets and providing extra vases to display the bouquets at the reception. If you want a florist who does amazing work and is amazing to work with, Flowers and Friends is the one!
