Willow Branch Flowers
Innovative Seasonal Design
The stepmother / stepdaughter team at Willow Branch Flowers works closely with dedicated local growers to select the best blooms and materials. Cathy Coyle and Mary Pearl Monnes support small businesses, localized economy and sustainability by striving to source blooms as close to home as possible.
The duo specializes in innovative seasonal design and florals centered around couples places. No packages or templates here. Willow Branch has grown from a lifelong love of flowers, gardening, art and nature and puts together unique combinations of color, form and texture. The studio creates memorable bouquets, ceremony arches, wine barrel arrangements, aisle markers and more.
Owner and lead designer Cathy Coyle graduated from the Corcoran College of Art and Design, working in various DC flower shops until moving to the Shenandoah Valley to work with renowned dried floral artist, Georgia Vance. Cathy’s studies in horticulture and floriculture helped her select flowers that would be dried and arranged for the State Department’s diplomatic reception rooms, embassies and historic homes. She later converted the barn on her Nelson County, Va. property to the Willow Branch flower studio.
