Paige Childress, Owner of Kissed by Tulips
Located in the heart of our community, Kissed by Tulips is a floral sanctuary that has continuously bloomed since its inception in 2022. Owned and operated by creative visionary Paige Childress, this boutique flower shop is not just a business; it's a testament to the power of dreams and hard work.
Paige, fueled by a crazy idea and an unwavering determination, decided to dive headfirst into the floristry industry. With a team of young, passionate florists and creatives by her side, she embarked on a journey to turn her dream into reality. And so, Kissed by Tulips was born.
As a female-owned and operated business, Paige wanted to create a space where each employee's creative gifts could flourish. With this ethos at its core, Kissed by Tulips has become more than just a floral boutique; it has become a symbol of empowerment and inspiration for the community.
Since its grand opening, Kissed by Tulips has earned a reputation for creativity, joy, and unparalleled customer service. They offer individual arrangements for any occasion, florals for weddings and events, and corsages and boutonnieres for high school events. Delivery across Orange County is also available. Paige and her team like to use seasonal flowers in each arrangement to emphasize individuality, texture and freshness. Not only that, but she sources only the highest quality blooms to guarantee a long-lasting design for you to enjoy. Flowers in their natural season burst with vitality, radiating an unmatched freshness and vibrancy.
Kissed by Tulips is more than just a place to buy flowers. It's a hub for creativity and learning, hosting floral workshops and events for enthusiasts and aspiring florists alike. They have also collaborated with various local businesses and organizations, from schools to real estate companies and luxury brands to elite event planners, spreading love and beauty through exquisite florals. Paige believes in giving back to the community, supporting small businesses and mentoring budding entrepreneurs, embodying the spirit of solidarity and collaboration.
The philosophy of Kissed by Tulips is simple yet profound – to spread joy and love in flower form. Each arrangement is meticulously curated with premium stems sourced from the best wholesalers, reflecting the team's dedication to quality and craftsmanship.
Reflecting on the journey so far, Paige attributes the store's success to her incredible team and loyal clientele. The shop's social media presence has flourished, connecting them with a diverse and creative audience that continues to inspire and uplift.
As Kissed by Tulips celebrated their second birthday this July, Paige extends her heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has supported them along the way and looks forward to many more years of spreading creativity and joy through flowers.
Beyond the shop doors, Paige enjoys exploring Orange County's diverse culinary scene, spending time with her family, and supporting local businesses and charities. From trying out new food places to attending summer baseball games, she cherishes the vibrant and dynamic lifestyle that Orange County offers to her and her family.
Looking ahead, Kissed by Tulips has exciting plans to further strengthen its ties with local venues and companies. While Paige remains tight-lipped about specific projects, she encourages everyone to stay tuned and follow them on social media for updates.
Kissed by Tulips embodies passion, perseverance and the strength of community. Amidst a world where flowers may wither, the memories crafted within the walls of Kissed by Tulips blossom eternally.
