Local Florist Expert - Kyle

Lone Star Bloom started in 2010 when Kyle purchased Roses Galore Floral Designs in Mesa, Arizona from Dirk Van Leenen. Since then, the group of flower shops has blossomed (see what we did there) to over 30 locations in 12 states and is still growing. The growth has been easy with a strong team that deliveres excellence in both flowers and customer experience.

Kyle's Expertise

While he has little floral design experience compared to the rest of the team, he still knows know a thing or two about a flower delivery. With a background in accounting, Kyle has turned his focus to meeting the expectations of the people that place an order for flowers on their websites. One of the biggest struggles in the floral industry is people getting let down when their flowers arrive and they do not like the picture from the website. Since every bouquet is handcrafted and mass producing doesn't really exist inside of flower shops - this can present an issue to florists of all skill levels. Check out his Flowers For You blog loosely based on the wildly popular Reddit thread Expectations Vs. Reality. You'll soon find out how hard we work at making sure the picture of flowers you buy looks like the picture you receive!
