Kate Sacca
Chief Operations Officer/Event Lead/Designer
Born and raised in Marietta, GA, Kate Sacca is a wife and mother of two. A jack of all trades, a natural leader, and an organizational wizard, Kate sought a challenging yet creative job. Kate thrives on creative projects and improving systems. After joining Stylish Stems in 2020, she immediately fell in love with the fast-paced work environment and thrill of large-scale floral design.

Kate looks forward to providing you with a seamless experience and the most gorgeous setting for your event.
Patti was raised in Western New York where her family owned a flower shop (which is where her love for floral began). She relocated to Georgia in 1986 at the age of 35 and started working for a very popular flower shop in the area where she began to learn the fundamentals of floral design. During those 10 years, her love for weddings began, and that love continues on today. For Patti: “Creating a Bride’s dream is important because girls dream about that special day for most of their lives. I love designing weddings because it is so rewarding seeing everything come together and creating that dream day for a bride…that feeling never gets old!”
For a time, Patti worked designing showrooms at the Merchandise Mart and traveled with Christmas + Flower companies designing their Trade shows. She later came back to Event Design because she really missed working with fresh florals. Throughout her floral career, Patti has been published various times and has had the opportunity to work with some of the most amazing Event Companies and clients both famous and non-famous.
Patti is the Mother of 1 daughter and Grandmother of 3 and enjoys bowling + cooking up delicious food in her free time!

Marcy Bope
Lead Designer/Event Lead
Marcy’s love for wedding flowers began in her twenties, when she attended the Career Floral Design Institute, in Bellevue, Washington. At the start of her involvements with floral, her friends were in the process of getting married; She received her business license and happily designed for their special day.
She has worked in many floral shops in Washington, Alaska, and Georgia, but weddings “take the cake.” Bouquets are her favorite, as well as arches and hanging installations. For Marcy, “There’s nothing like transforming a space into the bride’s dream. It’s so sweet when she slips into the room in between hair and makeup because she just can’t wait to see what we created.” Marcy loves designing and leading weddings with the uber-talented team at Stylish Stems.
Outside of work, she loves to spend time with her family—Marcy and her husband have two sons and love to ride bikes, hike, cook, play games and listen to music together.

Seeking a new adventure, Kim made a career switch into floral design with Stylish Stems and hasn’t looked back. Floral design is something that she feels has been deep inside her for years. For Kim: “Creating a piece of art with beautiful flowers is so exhilarating. There is no greater feeling than when your bride smiles at her bouquet and gives you a hug, saying-Thank You!”
Every day, she has the joy of working with amazing clients helping them bring their wedding day vision to life. Kim loves the thrill of a well-organized plan, is always thinking outside the box, and is dedicated to easing client’s stress in order to make their wedding dreams come true.
