Bou•K was created with the sole purpose of bringing true art to the wedding industry. at Bou•K we strive to stray away from the 'copied-out-of-pinterest,' traditional wedding day that we've all seen a million times before. our clients want something flooded with emotion and sincerity. you want a color palette that exudes the aura of you two as a couple. you want design that tells your unique 'country song' love story & takes your guests on an adventure. you start your sentences while speaking about your wedding day dreams with "it sounds weird, but..." and we're already on the edge of our seat. if this sounds like you, we are your dream team!
our greatest strength is interpreting your jibberish descriptions & modge-podge pinterest boards into a unique, individualized vision that is specific to you & your partner.

ABOUT Bou•K
WHY SWEETPEAS?
when Kara started Bou•K in 2018, she sought out running her own business to give her the flexibility to be home and present as a mother one day. in 2019, when her son Damen was born, she quickly started referring to him as her "sweetpea" and now holds this reference close as an identifying factor of her purpose in life and in business, as well as how it grows and evolves over time.
Kara has been an ambitious person since birth, and seeks out what might feel impossible to others, which makes her so incredible at her craft. Kara attended the University of Kansas where she studied Speech Pathology & Early Childhood Education. In the midst of pursuing graduate school, Kara started planning her own wedding and pursuing a side-hustle in the wedding industry. It wasn't long before the side hustle became a full-on career and she couldn't be more thrilled!

As a bride, florals were probably the thing I knew the LEAST about, which meant I had to hire the very best and let them do their thing. From the moment we met Kara, she was friendly, responsive, and helped to pivot on our vision. One of the big challenges of our venue is that it's a big bright space and we wanted dark/moody vibes for ours - but Kara and team were up for the challenge from the start and came up with a beautiful vision that cohesively brought together florals, candles, centerpieces and more that transitioned seamlessly from ceremony to dinner to reception. BUT, my FAVORITE thing Kara and team did was our custom giant boombox. And when I say GIANT, I mean it. Kara and team knew our love of music and we wanted to surprise our guests in the best way possible with a custom seating display. Kara took my rough Canva image and brought it to life. It was a big hit at our event and our guests are still talking about it to this day. One of my favorite things about Kara is that she is your wedding hype woman. I'm not an overly excited person, but every time we talked to Kara about out wedding she always talked about it like it was her favorite wedding to do - which always made us feel special and comfortable with such a large part of our day. You can tell she thinks through all of the details and goes above and beyond to make sure other vendors like photography and cake also have gorgeous flowers to work with the day of. After seeing some of the photos come back, we could not be more happy with how our entire decor came together because of Kara and team - and many people who frequented that venue often said they can't wait to have more black and white wedding themes there because of the vision Kara created there!

Kara was AMAZING. Upon starting my wedding planning process, I knew I wanted a beautiful and abundant floral design. Kara worked with me in curating my exact vision. Even when it was hard to articulate exactly what I wanted, Kara completely nailed it! I was absolutely astonished the day of the wedding when I saw everything come to life! I have received endless compliments from guests about the florals. Even individuals who did not attend the wedding and saw photos online, raved about the flowers and overall design of the day. The money you spend is truly worth every single penny. Kara is attentive to detail and made my day so so beautiful! Throughout the process, I could tell Kara truly cared and loved her job! Kara is the best!!!! I highly highly recommend Bou-K, it will be one of the best decisions you make in the wedding planning process.

Kara exceeded my wildest expectations as our wedding florist. From the get go, she was the only florist we spoke with that provided us a detailed proposal, with photos, and discussed our vision with us in incredible detail, down to the exact colors we liked and types of flowers we wanted. A few months before the wedding, we changed our mind and wanted more florals and a different color scheme. Kara did not bat an eye and jumped two feet in to pinning down our new vision. She put immense time and effort into understanding what we wanted and executed the most perfect wedding florals I could have ever imagined, including a chuppah with a detachable top that turned into a hanging piece over our sweetheart table. My bridal bouquet was one of my favorite parts of the day. She even helped us donate our florals to a hospice center after the wedding. I cannot recommend Kara enough: she is kind, creative, and exceptionally competent. Thank you SO much, Kara!
