Stems’ Florists Deck the Halls at the White House

STEMS FLORIST WORK AT THE WHITE HOUSE included the Grand Foyer and the East Hall.

Kim Brennan worked on the East Hall and Colonnade and her daughter Jenny Thomasson was a
member of the team that made the Grand Foyer into a winter wonderland.

If you’re a florist with a patriotic spirit, you might want to consider volunteering to decorate the White House next year. That’s what the mother and daughter team of Kim Brannan and Jenny Thomasson did on Dec. 4. Brannan and Thomasson are co-owners of Stems in Old Town Florissant and they were two of the four florists who represented Missouri. They were selected from more than 1,000 applicants.

Thomasson and Brannan had to keep their selection a secret for months. Finally, they were able to meet with volunteers from all over the U.S. to bring the First Lady’s dreams to life. They were also invited to a White House reception where Thomasson actually got to meet and speak with Michelle Obama.
