Special Guest: Mia Sandberg of Root Floral Design

Root Floral Design was founded in 2012, by owner/designer Mia Sandberg, to bring a balance between modern and classic style to the floral industry. What started off as a small little flower shop in a 250 square-foot building quickly grew into a full fledged wedding, event, and everyday floral design business. In addition to floral design, opening a storefront that had small gifts and home decor was always a dream and it finally happened in May of 2021. Follow them on social media at @rootfloraldesign and be sure to visit their website to see all of the lovely items available in the shop!
