Where Local Growers 00 Seasonal Blooms 00 & Your Love Story Become One 00

soulFUL WEDDING FLORALS FOR COUPLES, ELOPEMENTS, AND MICRO WEDDINGS ACROSS KNOXVILLE AND EAST TENNESSEE.

A Different Way of Doing Flowers

ROOTED IN SEASON. GROWN CLOSE TO HOME.

Sourced from my family’s flower farm and other local growers throughout East Tennessee, every arrangement is shaped by what’s seasonally in bloom. The result is floral design that feels specific to your wedding date —not something cookie cutter.

Meet Emma

FLOWERS HAVE BEEN PART OF MY STORY FOR AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER…

From my grandparents’ gardens in Virginia to Friday nights making bouquets with my mom for the Knoxville Farmers Market.

That same love shapes every arrangement I create. Sourced from local growers, guided by the season, and woven entirely around your story.

Kind Words From Past Clients…

  • "Emma exceeded all of our expectations!

    We met with a number of florists prior to making a decision, and once we found Emma we knew we wanted her to be apart of our big day! Her communication, professionalism, and overall presentation were the best we encountered anywhere from Nashville to Atlanta. One of my most favorite and memorable moments of our wedding morning was Emma revealing my bridal bouquet to me, the whole room was in tears! There wasn’t a doubt she truly listened and understood the vision we had. Emma’s artistry shone thrown in every aspect of our day from simple table designs to the large scale aisle pieces. Emma is so kind and personable, and we had the best time meeting and working with her throughout the entire process. Knoxville is so lucky to have Napping Cat just down the road, and we cannot recommend Emma’s services enough! "

  • "Emma was my dream florist and created one of my absolute favorite parts of my wedding day!

    Throughout the planning process, Emma was a delight to work with, turning all of my ideas and inspirations into a perfectly curated and unique vision board for my wedding's florals. Her creative talent paired with her experience in the industry allowed me to fully hand her the reins on an important part of my wedding, which any bride knows is invaluable. I was absolutely in love with my florals on my wedding day, and that feels like an understatement! They exceeded every expectation and brought my spring wedding to life! Emma was above and beyond helpful on my wedding day as well, ensuring every arrangement was perfect and exactly where we wanted it. Napping Cat will absolutely make your floral dreams come true!"

  • "Every detail was thoughtfully executed. We're thrilled with the outcome."

    My husband and I knew Napping Cat Floral Studio was the right vendor for our wedding after seeing they are sustainability minded, locally sourced, and so talented. We were confident Emma would have the skill and the expertise to pull off our vision and she did not disappoint. She took our mood board and planning call into consideration—no ask or idea felt too big—and executed a more stunning display than we could have imagined. Emma's professionalism and passion for her work make her a standout. We are still in awe of the thoughtful touches and creativity Napping Cat Floral Studio brought to our wedding."

  • “I chose Emma for her incredible floral work, the local origin of her blooms, and the fact that we’re both passionate about sustainability...

    But it's also critical to know that the vendors you choose have been stress tested, experienced, and know how to handle whatever is thrown their way. You can be assured that with Emma, not only will you have the most original and beautiful floral arrangements, crafted with love and intention, but you're also choosing a Vendor that will make sure your day is perfect no matter what happens.  When I lost my wedding venue THE DAY OF (quite literally three hours until our ceremony), Emma was instrumental in helping us re-group and making sure that I still had the most beautiful wedding in the world to look back at. The images of her design work speak for themselves, but they can’t come even close to capturing how incredible SHE is to work with through and through.”
