ABOUT US

Welcome All! I am Jenn...


My lifetime dream became a reality with the opening of Modern Day Floral. Everyday I am fortunate enough to work with one of the most beautiful mediums in the world, fresh flowers. I absolutely love what I do and thanks to my brides, vendors, retails customers and special event client, I get to live out my dream daily. I would also like to personally thank my incredible staff for all their hard work and passion... They inspire me daily! Enjoy the blog, visit often and remember, we love "warm fuzzies!"


MEET THE STAFF!

What do you get when you bring a group of passionate and talented people together? Modern Day Floral! These fascinating men and women amaze me everyday with their commitment and love for this business. I think what truly makes our group so special is the diverse backgrounds we come from... From interior to clothing design, retailer and experience floral design... Wow, what a group!


Emily is one of my lead designers - she brings the energy to the group. She has been with me from the beginning and is responsible for the "look" that has become Modern Day Floral! The talent, commitment and positive attitude she brings to work is invaluable. The cup is always 1/2 full... She is my AI in AIFD!


Karen is another of my lead designers - her calm nature, experience and romantic style bring a complimentary element to Modern Day Floral. She is the most amazing Christmas tree decorator and is affectionately known as Miss Christmas :)


Rueben is the newest lead designer to the group! His clean, unique and contemporary styles brings a new flare to Modern Day Floral. He keeps us entertained with his amazing music collection on his iPod!!


Erin brings with her a BFA in interior design from Kendall College of Art and Design and an incredibly passionate type A personality. She is my checks and balances girl with a quest for knowledge. Perspective drawings are definitely her specialty... This girl is going places!


Lauren is our public relations and marketing guru! She brings a fun, spunky energy to our group and isn't afraid to jump into the middle of any task!!


Charlie, Jonathan, Ernie, Aaron and Ryan are the guys of the group (poor souls)! The mere fact that they tolerate all of us for more than 5 minutes is a miracle. Estrogen flows in buckets at Modern Day but believe it or not, we're all a loving family!
