Meet Amberlee

I’m Amberlee Gandy, the owner and designer of Floral Stories by Amberlee. I am a wedding and special event florist located in Northwest Missouri. I have an intense passion for floral design that began during my studies at the University of Missouri. Through the MU Floral Design program, my love for wedding design and working with couples bloomed and has since inspired me to continue this fulfilling work. 

I love bringing beauty to important and meaningful moments through flowers and I cannot wait to meet you and hear about the vision for your wedding! Flowers make a difference in weddings - enhancing the beauty of the occasion itself. 

My approach is to create a custom floral design that is personal to you as a couple. I know during your engagement, you are busy with work, life, and now planning a wedding - all while trying to be present in your relationship and the life you are building together. I’m here to help you think through the overall desired look and feel of your wedding day!

Hello!

I am a graduate from the University of Missouri with a degree in agricultural communications and a certificate in floral design. I tailored my studies to floral design, contributing to my experience in the floral industry. In addition to my studies, I worked as a student florist on the special events team at the University’s student-operated floral shop as well as a teaching assistant in the floral design program. Through the opportunities provided at the University, I began to develop my passion for the wedding industry.
