To My Friends, Clients and Northern Michigan Community,

As I look back on the last nine months, I am filled with gratitude.

This year marks my 11th year designing flowers, my sixth year owning Fresh Cut Design, and my very first year flowering for myself full-time. Whether it’s a wedding, a casual celebration, or a quiet moment of remembrance, creating flowers for all of life's seasons is work I’m honored to do.

To every client who trusted me with your special moments and every friend who cheered me on or passed along my name thank you. I am grateful beyond words for your support.

As I head into the final stretch of the season, here are a few ways you can engage with Fresh Cut this holiday season:

  • Holiday Pre-Orders: Bring seasonal florals, wreaths, and greenery into your home or holiday gatherings.

  • Holiday Workshops: Host a wreath-making or floral design gathering for your friends, family, or team. You can find a growing list of public classes hosted throughout Northern Michigan available here.

  • Summer Weddings: Consultations and dates for next summer are officially open!

Thank you for believing in Fresh Cut Design and for being such a wonderful part of this journey.

In Meraki,

CristiEllen
