My name is Kelly Stead and I am the owner & lead designer for Flowers InStead. I bring my passion and attention to detail into each and every floral design that I make. I strive to not only meet but exceed expectations. The best part of my job is working with people to create designs that take what they had in their minds & make it even better!

Weddings & Special Events
Weddings
Weddings are such exciting times for couples, family & friends. Flowers help to create the overall experience and set the tone for your special day. We want your flowers to be as unique as you are. We will spend time getting to know you and what's most important to YOU.
​​
We also love events!! Whether you are celebrating a milestone or having a dinner party, we are here to help make your event top notch.

Special Events
Bouquet Bars
Bouquet Bars have become very popular at favors for guests at bridal and baby showers. At Flowers InStead, we offer bouquet bar rentals with custom flowers. Your guests will enjoy making a bouquet to take home & enjoy after your shower. We strive to provide you with an experience where all you need to do is show up & create a bouquet -- we will handle the rest from flowers and signs to set up & break down! Small details such as matching ribbon & wrapping are extras we like to provide.
