The Faces of Gillespie Florists
Meet Kayleigh: One of the Creative Minds Behind Our Flowers
Ever wonder who’s behind some of the beautiful arrangements at Gillespie Florists? Today we’re introducing you to Kayleigh Wheeler — one of our talented designers and wedding specialists!
Kayleigh’s journey into floristry is a story of passion and persistence. She’s been part of the Gillespie family for a year and a half, but her love for flowers began back in 2016. Starting out in customer service, she quickly became captivated by the design process. Always eager to learn, she asked the designers around her to teach her the craft. That determination paid off, and by 2023, Kayleigh was designing full-time!

💡 A Memorable Moment
One moment that stands out for Kayleigh happened after she led a DIY flower class. A student told her the experience gave her the confidence to design flowers for her daughter’s baby shower. Knowing she helped inspire someone’s creativity left a lasting impression — and moments like these are what make her work so meaningful.
📚 Outside the Shop
When Kayleigh isn’t bringing floral visions to life, she’s usually immersed in one of her other passions. She’s an avid reader (around 100 books a year 🤯), a writer, painter, and even a basketball enthusiast.
We’re incredibly lucky to have Kayleigh’s creativity, kindness, and unique vision as part of the Gillespie team. She helps us bring beauty and heart to so many of your special moments. 💕
