"Newburyport’s award-winning wedding planner opens full-service floral shop"
Newburyport entrepreneur Amy McLaughlin, of Amy McLaughlin Lifestyles, has been an innovator in the wedding industry for over 19 years, setting the standard for custom luxury celebrations, society weddings and elite nonprofit fundraisers.
Since founding her company in 2002, McLaughlin has planned and designed over 500 weddings, in California, Mexico, Europe and New England.
She's worked with numerous A-list clients in the entertainment industry to plan their weddings and special events. Her work and expertise have been featured in publications and media outlets nationwide.
McLaughlin's passion for floral design has grown beyond her weddings and events, thus prompting her latest creation, Amy McLaughlin Flowers, a boutique flo-al design studio and flower shop in Newburyport.
“The inherent need to constantly be creating something new is what led me here. I am utterly obsessed with flowers, and designing my clients’ wedding florals has been my absolute favorite part of what I do.
“After a lengthy career of coordinating all of the logistics of our weddings and events, I’ve re-evaluated what I can bring to the table as both an entrepreneur and designer. It was time for me to shift my focus a bit and listen to the little voice inside my head.
“I’m over the moon to be embarking on this new adventure! Along with the rest of the team at Amy McLaughlin Lifestyles, we are thrilled to announce the opening of Amy McLaughlin Flowers.”
