Hey there,

I’m Sarah,

a Chattanooga faux flower artist – but you can call me: The Alternative Florist

WHY WOODEN WEDDING BOUQUETS AND FAUX FLOWERS?

Well, lemme tell ya .. 

Years ago, wooden and dried flowers captured my heart for so many reasons.

Infusing part of my experience into each design highlights the perks that come with breaking from tradition. With the artistic potential of unlimited design options (and I truly mean unlimited), hypoallergenic qualities, and long-lasting nature, there is just no better way to decorate such an important space.

As a Faux flower designer & artist,

I specialize in helping you preserve your wedding day memories by bringing your vision to life through realistic, luxury faux flowers that you will cherish for years to come.

CREATE

Inside our private studio, each floral design, down to the smallest of petals, are made by hand with the utmost care, drawing inspiration from nature itself. As the founder of Petals and Bark, I personally oversee every flower that leaves our shop to ensure you are provided with the highest degree of handcrafted quality.


But, creating is not all I do. I often play ice hockey and volleyball. I love traveling and you can call me a Foodie. I love checking out local restaurants and bakeries. And, I also actively participate with animal charities. You might even catch me at an event or two.
