Mia & Wes on Main celebrates recent opening with ribbon-cutting
After five years of creating designs for weddings, a London couple has opened a floral shop that is now booking for 2026.
With 25 years of experience in floral design, florists Mia and Wes Lovins opened their full-service floral shop in April.
"We both did floral and now we get to do it together," Mrs. Lovins said.
The couple, featured in the Kentucky Bride magazine twice, held a ribbon-cutting alongside the London-Laurel County Chamber of Commerce June 2, in celebration of the two-month-old shop.
Although the Lovinses have served the community for years, they did not previously have a home for their business. However, with continued growth and success, the couple knew it was time to rent a space for their work.
When the florists visited their shop's two-story building on Main Street, they "knew immediately" that it was the location for them, noting curb appeal, parking, and its proximity to local funeral homes.
"Jesus worked it out and that's all we can say," Mr. Lovins said.
Mrs. Lovins said Mia & Wes stands out due to its unique designs. Mr. Lovins added that while their shop is different from others, it also remains "classy and timeless."
"Trends come and go but some things are timeless and that's what we want to stay with," Mr. Lovins stated.
The Lovinses said they also remember the married couples they have created floral designs for.
"It means more to us than just a sale," Mr. Lovins stated. "It's sentimental to us."
"It's kind of like we were a part of their new beginning and that's pretty precious," Mrs. Lovins added.
Both the Lovinses said blue hydrangeas are their favorite flower, finding the flower classy.
Floral work is particularly special to the couple as they are "working with God's creation."
"He gives us gifts and our gift is to be a floral designer. We get to use something he made," Mrs. Lovins stated. "Flowers are just meant for joy in all purposes — even in death."
In closing, Mrs Lovins said: "We're just thankful. Since we've been open, we feel like we've been in business for years and it's just because all the community has really supported us."
"All glory to God," Mr. Lovins added.
