MEET THE TEAM
For over eight years, Flor de Casa Designs has been dedicated to crafting unforgettable wedding experiences, rooted in the belief that every couple’s vision deserves to be brought to life.
​
Serving couples throughout Washington D.C., Northern Virginia, and Charlottesville, we take pride in creating bespoke floral designs that reflect each couple’s unique style, ensuring every detail feels personal and beautifully curated.
ZELAYA
Owner / Lead Designer
Shanda began her journey with floral design in August of 2016 when she founded Flor de Casa Designs. Since then, she strives to work with clients to visualize and actualize their dream wedding designs. She says...
"I lead the work on my designs with the understanding that the value is always in the details. They matter most. And perhaps because I consider my craft to be an interactive fine art experience, it comes naturally for me to make arrangements that keep my clients’ unique tastes and preferences at the heart of every design."
​
She and her husband became first-time parents in 2022 and when not immersed in design, she enjoys time with family and friends and attempts to hop on a plane to anywhere in the world whenever she can (yes, now with baby in tow).

Hannah Reynolds
Operations Assistant
Hannah is the newest member of the Flor de Casa Designs team, joining in September of 2024! With a recent shift from education to Flor de Casa, she has taken her skills from teaching in the classroom and transferred them to her role as operations assistant. Hannah supports the business behind the scenes with logistics, strategy, flower orders, and graphic design projects. Additionally, she assists with floral design and wedding execution, so it's likely you'll see her on your big day!
Outside of work, she enjoys trying new restaurants with her husband, taking long walks with their dog, and traveling as often as she can!
Sabrina Garcia
Client Services Coordinator
Sabrina has been one of Flor de Casa's biggest supporters since its inception in 2016. She is the first point of contact for our clients and keeps busy behind the scenes ensuring our clients are well taken care of. Her smile brightens everyone's day, and she can be counted on to complete any task presented to her.
When she's not hard at work, you can find her watching the latest Netflix series, lounging on the beach in Rio de Janeiro (where she currently lives... and we secretly hate her for it!! LOL), traveling the world, or serving her community.
Kimmi Hilland
Lead Designer
As a lead designer, Kimmi has been with Flor de Casa since 2019 and not only does she assist our lead designer, Shanda on executing our client's visions, she takes on her own events and delivers an impeccable wedding day experience to our couples.
As much as she loves designing for weddings, she also has a passion for cooking, baking and rock climbing.
Susan Franco
Lead Designer
As our newest lead designer, Susan leads her own weddings for our clients, as well as assists Shanda and Kimmi at times.
When she is not shining in her designer role, you can find her running point on some of our weddings. On her time away from the FdeC team, she loves spending time with her family and dabbling in interior design as a hobby.
