About Us
Kelly’s Story
I am a former Ballroom Dancer with an Interior Design degree, I have a strong desire to create beauty in everything I do. I taught ballroom dancing for 15 years and one of my favorite things was working with wedding couples, helping them to develop their vision and make it a reality. Now I look forward to utilizing my creative ability to help bring your vision to life through flowers.
In 2018, I married Beau, and we now have two children. A few years after having children, I had a strong calling to be on the farm with Beau and the kids. After many conversations and brainstorming sessions, I made the move from Ballroom Dance Instructor to Flower Farmer.
In choosing the name for this new endeavor, Bliss came to mind, reflecting the feeling I had when working on the farm with our children and my husband nearby. As time passed, ideas grew, and passion propagated this name choice became a no-brainer. Everything seemed to have been orchestrated perfectly, I just had to listen to the orchestra and Floral Bliss continued to bloom.
About the Farm
Floral Bliss is in the middle of a third-generation cattle farm, “S” - Co. Shorthorn Farms, located south of Hastings, in beautiful rural Minnesota. On this farm, started by the Swanson family in 1925, Walter and Agnes Swanson raised their 7 children along with chickens, turkeys, hogs, and shorthorn cattle. Today the farm, run by my husband Beau, continues to raise shorthorn cattle and has expanded into other breeds as well.
