Emily joined UE in Fall of 2022. She is from Illinois, but like so many others she is a Hawkeye through and through! Emily might not be using her B.A. in Psychology, but she found her true passion in the wedding industry starting while working as a bridal stylist at a local bridal boutique. She is utilizing her attention to detail as a Rental Coordinator, making sure everything is organized and in its place for each event she assists with.
Terran’s journey in the floral industry began over 15 years ago at Kirkwood Community College where she graduated from the Floral Careers program. Post graduation, she worked for many years at a local, family-owned flower shop before establishing her own wedding floral design company. After five years and a few freelance design gigs with Unique Events, she decided to join the UE team when the opportunity presented itself. Working along-side the design team, she creates out-of-this-world floral arrangements and installations, and renews her passion for all things floral with every event.
