Amber Taylor

Owner and Designer of Wood Flower Barn


With over 10 years in the floral industry, owner and designer, Amber knows how to create beautiful, unique arrangements that will last year after year. She has a keen eye for detail and a persistence for quality.


Based in Salt Lake City, Utah, Wood Flower Barn prides itself on being a small, American, family-owned business with high ethical standards. Opening in June 2020, it has brought handcrafted, everlasting designs to people across the United States (and even a few to Canada!).


Amber is first and foremost a mother and has always strived to bring value to her family while having something to work towards. She started Wood Flower Barn as a way to stay creative and sharp while having the opportunity to stay home and raise her kids.


In her spare time, she enjoys getting outside (especially into the mountains), mountain biking, hiking, seeing/experiencing new places, and sharing great food with loved ones.
