Michelle Pallante, Owner
— When I moved to Tennessee, I attended the Nashville School of Floral Design and I knew then how lucky I was to find my passion. I already knew that I loved flowers but discovering how much I love designing for events and weddings was such a joy. I truly feel alive when I work and the end result amazes me every time. I have always had a love for art, design, and color so I always search for new avenues to express my creativity. Flower design just happens to be my favorite of them all.
Living in this community is such a blessing. Since moving here to Franklin, I grow dahlias in my garden every year. Their beauty captivates me every summer. By far, dahlias are my favorite flower, something almost every dahlia grower understands.
Naturally, when choosing the name for this business, Dove + Dahlias, my favorite flower came to mind. On the other hand, the word dove reminds me not only weddings; but of faith, peace and a higher power. This is everything I believe a strong marriage to embody so this how the name, Dove + Dahlias, was born.
If we work together, you will quickly see how much I love sharing my passion so we can best execute your vision. I pride myself in the details and unlike other florists, I only take a certain amount of events per year. I want to get to know you, your style and your story so we can design something amazing. I believe every event tells a story and with the language of flowers, your story becomes poetry. Whether we are curating vintage crystal just like your Grandma’s or shopping the latest trends, we will make something truly magical together that can withstand the test of time.
