Hannah Allen Anderson
Special guest
Hannah Allen Anderson was the best flower girl at all the weddings of her mother’s friends growing up. She took a slight detour to pursue bassoon in college, but suffered a panic attack when she realized her chosen career wouldn’t work. She then worked as a server until a friend helped her get a customer service job at a florist shop. She started helping the lead designer until she became the lead herself for two years. In 2018, she started her own thing, Hannah Allen Flower Gal, which became Petal to the Metal Floristry a year later. She now offers floral arrangements for Valentine's Day, weddings, funerals, and special occasions, bringing everything full circle from the petals she once scattered on the floor.
