Guest Mentor & Fleurvana Floral Artist

I was halfway through my entomology degree at Texas A&M when I realized it was not for me! I felt so incredibly lost and had no idea where to turn, or what to do. I was sitting in my business calculus class, of all places, when I heard a girl, who was a horticulture major, talking about how excited she was about designing the flowers for her friend’s wedding.

For a moment, there was a home movie-style flashback in my mind, and I briefly relived wonderful memories of my dad and I from years ago, landscaping and him teaching me about plants and flowers. Then, in a true Elle Woods fashion, I stood up (well, in my head I did) and said, “I am going to be a floral designer!” And just like Elle, I found my career—my passion.

Since then, I have been so fortunate to have learned from many different people, and in 2021 I opened up the first official Amanda Bee’s Floral Designs brick and mortar location. I love designing for weddings and events, but I found myself enjoying the variety of having a true full-service business. I hope to inspire and help any designers that are struggling with starting a retail floristry operation!
