Meet Kaitlyn

Owner/Lead Designer

Born & raised in the Steel City, Kaitlyn spent her childhood summers making bouquets out of the roadside brush and gardening with her Nunnie. It never occurred to her that working with flowers could be a career until she was presented the opportunity for formal horticulture training through an adult training school in Pittsburgh. After graduating top of her class, Kaitlyn went on to do freelance work such as floral design, landscape design, & program planning. Finding her niche in floral design, Kaitlyn created Steel City Florals in 2018 at 22 years old. What really started as a hobby and small dream quickly gained a reputable status in the Pgh wedding industry. SCF stood out from the everyday florist for its distinctive off-beat designs, individually curated color palettes and lasting client relationships. What inspires Kaitlyn is taking cues from the urban environment of Pittsburgh, creating unique statement pieces that reflect both her and her clients, and always pushing design boundaries. When shes not slinging flowers with SCF you can catch Kaitlyn teaching floral education classes at Phipps Conservatory, gardening, riding her bike,  and hanging with her cats.
