Karla McNeill
owner | creative lead | planner
Karla has been in the design business over 24 years. Starting with a floral design back ground, competing in National Symposiums and for the TV show Extreme Makeover Home Edition, she decided she wanted to be more involved in wedding and event production. Focusing most of her attention on creating the most fabulous displays possible for her clients' events. A true lover of all thing's celebration.
Karla branched out of floral design in 2010 and started designing for a full-service event décor company from there she went on to launch her own company in 2011.
Karla has a wide range of experience and knowledge of the event industry from managing budgets, tented event production, electricity logistics to catering details, fabric textures, music and what's trending for each up-and-coming year.

On a more personal note ... She is a Taurus, a dog mom, animal rescuer, travel addict, ocean obsessed, self-proclaimed chef and margarita connoisseur. She loves all things coffee, art, photography and twinkle lights!
