How did you get started in the industry?
I attended and obtained my teaching certificate from the Japanese Ikebana Floral Design School in Tokyo, Japan where I was taught by Tokyo’s Master Designer. I LOVE flowers and have now been arranging for almost 25 years. I began my Columbus, Georgia floral design business five years ago and have enjoyed every moment of it.
Tell us about your family:
I am married to Wayne Coulter, retired owner of Columbus Wholesale Florist Supply. We have a daughter, Nicole Coulter, who is twenty years old. She was born into the floral business and is a fantastic designer herself! :)
What is it about your industry that holds your interest year after year?
I love working with my bridal clients who are all beautiful, intelligent, and bring a variety of floral interests. Each bride is different so it keeps my creativity fresh and keeps my interest year after year.
What sets you apart from others in the industry?
There are many talented floral designers in our area. However, I believe my background study with many of the top floral designers from all over our country and Japan allows me to have design skills that set me apart from what others may offer in our area. I have a genuine passion for working with brides to get exactly what they want on their special wedding day and that is what I believe brings me much of my success.
What would you say is the latest trend in your industry?
Hand-tied wedding bouquets, where the flowers are gathered together and the stems are wrapped in wide satin ribbon has been pretty trendy this past year. For brides wanting more glamorous bouquets, they are choosing to add floral jewelry such as beads, rhinestone initials, a family heirloom brooch, jewelry, feathers, and anything that makes the bouquet unique to the bride. There has been a continuing popularity for rustic and natural theme weddings for which brides are choosing unique items to add to their bouquets and arrangements such as wheat, berries, pinecones, twigs, burlap, brown pods, etc. Of course, the rose continues to be the most popular and elegant bouquet flower. Lilies, peonies, hydrangeas, tulips and orchids represent the trendier choices.
