The Little Flower Company is inspired by St. Thérèse of Lisieux. Known as “The Little Flower”, St. Thérèse dedicated her life to prayer and doing great things in little ways. She would scatter flowers to spread love and poured her heart and soul into all of her thoughts and actions.

It is said that if you ask St. Thérèse to pray for you, she will answer by sending a flower your way. She has sent Katrina flowers at some important times in her life, inspiring her to name her business after this incredible saint.

Katrina (Zekulin) Polk is a Texas transplant living in Friend, Nebraska. As a graduate of Texas A&M University in Horticultural Studies & Business Administration she finds herself at home being surrounded by flowers and turning them into beautiful arrangements.

“I started my business a little over a year ago with a push from Jake and to be able to have my licenses ready for my sister-in-law’s wedding last fall,” says the florist, “From there I started branching out and doing some friend’s weddings and by the start of 2018 I had already doubled my weddings and am continuing to grow!”

Jessica Kokesh, a client, says, “I still can’t get over how much I love my bouquet and all the other flowers she created for our big day, and that was in October of 2017. Katrina has a gift and it’s gorgeous! She’s a blessing, and I highly recommend using her.”

Polk has previously worked with designers in Dallas & NYC as well as Lincoln & Omaha. Her passion to bring joy to others drives her to work hard in all she does. Katrina recently married the love of her life, Jake, in Raeville, Nebraska on May 26, 2018.

“My wife does good work if I do say so myself,” Jake Polk says. “If you’re getting married and need flowers, she’s your gal!”

From what The Little Flower Company has started out to what it is now, Polk is so excited for this little company to continue growing and for what is to come! She is excited that her 2019, year of weddings, is filling up!
