The face behind the flowers. Christy McArdle

Welcome! My name is Christy McArdle, and I’m the conductor at what I like to call Grand Central Station. I’m married to my wonderful husband, Ryan, and together we have seven amazing children. Our home is always bustling with family, friends, the kids’ friends—and now, flowers!

What started as a personal passion has turned into a way of spreading kindness and celebration to others.

My journey with flowers began about 12 years ago, after helping with a charity event. I fell in love with the blooms and decided to dive deeper. From classes to weddings for my nieces, to friends’ events, and continued education, what began as a love has flourished into Summerville Flower Shack. 

I truly believe we grow in life’s little moments. The big ones, of course, leave a lasting impact. But it’s the everyday—the first smile, first date, prom, first baby, the seventh baby, the loss of a loved one, anniversaries, job promotions, or even the loss of one—that shape us. I’m here to help you honor all of them. 

Our floral style is something I like to call “perfectly imperfect.” It’s a lot like my life. No matter how much we plan for perfection, things end up just slightly askew.

Our flowers are a burst of color, a mix of textures — a little of this and a little of that. And it all comes together perfectly (well, imperfectly perfect) with a whole lot of prayer. 

Each arrangement I make is prayed through. I pray for whoever is receiving and whoever ordered it. Even if you didn’t ask for it, you’re getting a whole lot of love and prayer with our flowers, and I believe that sets us apart. Making your arrangements isn’t just a job to us. It’s a way my team and I can love on you even as you love each other. 

“It’s nice to be nice”—a simple motto I try to teach my kids every day. I ask God each day to help me be the light of Christ and use the gifts He’s given me to shine that light for others. I feel incredibly blessed to share His love through every bouquet that leaves our shop. 

Thank you for visiting Summerville Flower Shack. I hope we can help you celebrate life’s moments, big and small, and share His light along the way.
