About

Willow Branch Flowers and Design is a wedding and event florist that specializes solely in creating custom weddings, parties, and corporate affairs. Stacey Abernathy, owner and lead designer, first started her career in interior design and marketing. After dabbling in flowers for friends and family, she decided to move away from interior design and the furniture industry and take the reins of her own floral shop in 2005. Stacey’s eye for design and the desire to make the smallest detail perfection quickly set her apart.

After running a retail floral business for five years, she decided that her true floral passion was for her bridal clientele. In 2010, Stacey discontinued the retail side of the business in order to give her brides and corporate clients her undivided attention. Now over fifteen years later, Willow Branch has created hundreds of weddings and events in and around the Lake Norman area and beyond.

Willow Branch has received the Best of Weddings by the Knot and the Couple’s Choice Awards for the last eight years based on their stellar client reviews. Weddings by Willow Branch Flowers and Design have been published locally and nationally in magazines like Southern Weddings, Carolina Bride, Charlotte Bride, Premier Weddings, and numerous wedding blogs.

When Stacey doesn’t have her hands in flowers, she enjoys time with her husband and business partner of twenty years, Todd, her daughter, Mary Charles, and her three furry children, Sunny, Freckles, and Patriot.
