Tonia Benson
Owner and Albia native, Tonia Benson has been obsessed with the wedding world for as long as she can remember. Working as the Wedding Sales Manager at Honey Creek Resort since 2014 and becoming a Certified Wedding Planner in 2016, she has really found her passion helping couples to have their perfect day. Giving birth to her son, Henry in 2018 was the perfect reason for a change of pace. It seemed like a natural transition to move from venue planning into the flower field. Inspired by beautiful colors, trending floral designs and unique flowers, Tonia is always bringing new and style-forward floral arrangements to the table. She is passionate about creating customized arrangements that really suit each recipient, using different containers and designs that are pretty from each angle. Tonia has always loved weddings and wedding work, but never knew how much she would love working with families of loved one's past. So honored that people trust us to bring to life their loved one's passions and experiences through flowers. It really is just as rewarding to put together something so truly personal, bringing joy for each client and their families in such sorrowful times. Eager to please and enthusiastic about customer service, thoughtful presentation and one of a kind floral experiences, Blooms & Things strives to make each gift personal and noteworthy.
