Our Story

As a young child, I always had a fascination with flowers.  I spent endless hours weeding, dividing perennials for my mother and watching my grandfather tend his flower garden with meticulous attention to detail.  I was intoxicated with the aromas, shapes and colors of flowers.  My parents were less than enthusiastic when it came to creativity and the arts and I was encouraged to find a career more suitable for supporting myself. 

After a successful career in publishing and when my second child entered kindergarten, I decided it was time to embrace my creative side and return to my natural talents.  I created a small garden design business and in the first summer took on a dozen clients from a friend who needed help.  I quickly realized that I would not have enough business during the winter months, so when I heard about a flower shop in town that was struggling to keep their doors open, I offered to buy it.  Our floral and garden design businesses grew and flourished 15 more years until my husband and I had to sell it to move closer to his job.

I worked for several floral businesses after that to keep me active in the industry and I taught floral design, but my true love has always been working with brides and helping them create their vision through beautiful flowers.  That's when I started Petal & Bud.  I like to incorporate unique elements of nature in my design and my background in gardening gives me a style that uses a variety of uncommon flowers.  I enjoy creating a lot of texture through flowers in my wedding designs.  My love of flowers is part of who I am and the beauty I can provide to others and the world around me.  I look forward to chatting about your wedding day or special event.

​With Warm Regards,

Jan Peterson
