Summary: In this episode of the Team Flower Podcast, Kelly Mendenhall of 3 Leaf Floral is chatting about what it’s like to design for off the grid events (aka: on top of a mountain or out in a field, etc.). As you can imagine, there are countless obstacles to overcome, so you’ll hear several tips and tricks to making this type of design happen! Kelly works in extreme temperatures and is giving examples of flowers that hold up well in both hot and cold weather. And you’ll hear her absolute necessities if she on a time crunch and has only an hour to decorate an arbor! Kelly Mendenhall has been a wedding florist for over 10 years in her home state of Colorado. Her company serves the western slope including notable resort areas such as Aspen, Telluride and Moab UT. She’s located in fruit and wine country and is often in the flower farmer’s fields picking ingredients moments before the wedding day. So far she’s done everything from her home studio, raising 3 rambunctious boys while growing her company, but is hoping for a studio space in the near future!
