FLOWERS BY EMILY | KANSAS CITY FLORIST

I have admired the floral arrangements in my salon (Xiphium) for a few months. I was drawn to the colors, balance and quality of the floral arrangements. At my last salon visit, I decided to snag a business card to check it out online and Flowers by Emily is the real deal! I enjoy supporting good people and talented local businesses so wanted to share her with all of you! If you are looking for a wedding florist or want to send a beautiful arrangement to a friend or family member, check her out! I sat down with the owner, Emily Fyten, to learn more about her business and snap a few photos. Emily’s daughter, Phoebe, was there to help out and she is so adorable!
