Molly McWhorter and Courtney duQuesnay only met last year, but you might think they’ve been friends forever. As they sip beverages on a fall afternoon at Light House Coffee, they finish each other’s sentences.
It’s a synergy they’ve developed guiding pop-up workshops together for Bubbles + Blooms Botanical Bar. They teach attendees how to create floral centerpieces, crowns and wreaths.
McWhorter and duQuesnay met while working at a local advertising agency and realized they shared a love for flowers. Discussing simple home bouquets and more elaborate arrangements they’d dabbled in for weddings planted the seed for what would become a full-fledged flower workshop and event business. They launched Bubbles + Blooms in November 2017.
