A Splendid Affair Wedding & Event Planning & Design

Welcome to The Barefoot Florist, where we're passionate about creating unforgettable wedding experiences. Our story began with a love for garden design and horticulture, which eventually led our founder, TJ, to study architecture and interior design in California. After years of working in the design field, TJ discovered her true calling in floristry and wedding design. After 20 years in California, family ties and a love for the Midwest brought her back to her hometown in southern Illinois. The opportunity to move the business to a historic home in downtown Carterville was a dream come true. Today, we're dedicated to helping couples design and plan their special day with our unique blend of creativity and expertise.

At The Barefoot Florist, we're known for our beautiful wedding flowers, but our services extend far beyond bouquets.
