By The Gate Flowers
What sets you apart from your competition? By The Gate Flowers is the 2009 Mountain Democrat Readers’ Choice award winner(editor’s note: and a perennial favorite in our Style Magazines’ Readers’ Choice Awards!). Artistic design,attention to details, and response to customers is foremost in mind. Designing flowers is an art form, similar to painting. A blank canvas transforms the beauty of nature and life. A wedding is truly the sustenance of life, adorned by the beauty of living nature.
If you weren’t in the wedding industry, what would you be doing? Painting nature and flowers.

Jan’s thoughts: Is there anything more exciting or joyous than a future bride planning her perfect wedding? That’s why I love my job, feeling confident that I will have a happy bride and groom who will have received more than imagined in flowers without worrying that it will all come together.
My relationship with the bride is personal, attentive, and open. I’m not satisfied until my mind’s eye matches the bride’s. No matter the vision, theme, budget or style, the flowers will be a work of art beyond what is expected. My bride’s are relaxed and can attend to other details, knowing that I will bring to life a perfect floral wedding event.
What is the best advice that you can give to brides and grooms getting married today? Planning your wedding is suppose to be fun; live it up. Fun is free!
