We had the good fortune of connecting with Mellissa King and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Mellissa, what habits do you feel helped you succeed?
The most important habits that help me be successful is

1. Putting God 1st and truly feeling like he has blessed me with a gift.
2. Listening to my clients in an effort to bring their vision to life.
3. Loving what I do.
4. Building and cultivating trusting relationships with my clients.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I’m not a traditional florist, I very rarely create the same arrangement twice.

I often say I’m a vendor of love regardless of the occasion I am responsible for delivering love from one person to another person.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
If my bestie was in town for a week, I would take them to 1. Avenue Brunch House in Dearborn
2. Massage @ Soak Spa at The Detroit Club
3. The Great Escape Room in Royal Oak
4. Shopping at Somerset Collection Mall
5. Hyde Park Prime Steakhouse in Northville

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I want to shoutout my family who has supported and encouraged me from the very beginning.

As well as all the lovely individuals in the floral industry that have shared tools to improve my techniques. Provided guidance, mentorship and motivation.
