About

Michael John has been Professionally designing beautiful Weddings and Events for more than 30 years and has worked for several of the "Top Ten" Florists in the United States who have actively pursued him for his exceptional talents and design insight. He credits his enthusiasm and unique design style to his Grandmother "Rose" who taught him about color, fed his curiosity and nurtured his creative side. Michael started his creative entrepreneurial life at the age of 9 pulling his Radio Flyer wagon as he ventured to a local strip mall and sold his creations to the shop owners. One of these shops was Shorecrest Flowers. It was here, he would make his mark on the Floral Industry. In just a few short years, Michael John would be hired by the owner to sweep floors, water and prep flowers after school. Tutored by the owner and designers, Michael John immediately showed natural talent which cemented his desire to own his own shop someday. Well he did. At the ripe old age of 22 Michael beat all odds and bought that very same flower shop he once swept floors in. After 5 years of steady success and strong repeat customer base, he sold the business and moved on to a new career in the Corporate World. Michael John wanted to learn more about Retail and the ins and outs of marketing, big box sales and advertising. But, the tug of the floral business was always on Michael John's heart. After success to numerous to mention, back to the floral world he went. Now focusing primarily on Weddings and Events, he is quoted as saying, “In the Flower Business I don’t sell flowers, I sell to Emotions! I love being part of the happiest and most wonderful memories of my client
