POPPIN' PETALS BY KIM

Hello,

I'm Kim, the founder of Poppin' Petals, and I'm not just your average wedding planner—I'm also a dedicated floral designer. Your special day is a significant milestone, and finding the right planner who truly understands you is crucial. Allow me to share a bit about myself to help you decide if I'm the perfect fit for you:

I was born and raised in the heart of Toronto's diverse Kensington Market, where I embraced the richness of various cultures. This upbringing instilled in me a deep commitment to diversity and inclusion, now core values in my approach.

As a young adult, I immersed myself in Toronto's hip hop scene as a dancer, competing locally and internationally. I organized events promoting equality and offering youth a platform for self-expression. Transitioning to a career in wealth management, I eventually became the Director of Operations for United Capital/Goldman Sachs. While working on diverse projects, my favorites involved creating inclusive workplaces for individuals with disabilities, environmentally conscious initiatives, and promoting work-life balance.

The skills I gained as both a dancer and a director form the foundation of my business, incorporating creativity and technical expertise. In recent years, driven by a pursuit of happiness, I shifted my career to pursue my passions as a floral designer and wedding planner. I am a proud graduate of the Canadian Institute of Floral Design and the Wedding Planners Institution of Canada, with experience collaborating with various flower shops, event design companies, and wedding planners in the GTA.

My vision is to collaborate with couples who seek authentic self-expression, creating events that resonate deeply with them. I'm excited to hear from you and invite you to join the Poppin' Petals family!

With Love,

Kim,

Floral Designer and Wedding Planner
