In the heart of Pass Christian, Mississippi, a unique and heartwarming business has taken root, connecting people meaningfully to their loved ones. BloomBridge, founded by Kristen Allen, delivers silk flower arrangements to gravesites, ensuring that no one is forgotten, no matter the distance.
Kristen Allen, CEO of BloomBridge, started the company from a personal promise. “Don’t let me be the only one out here without flowers,” her grandmother had insisted.
Determined to honor that promise, Kristen launched BloomBridge, a business dedicated to spreading love and remembrance through beautifully crafted silk flower arrangements.
With families spread across the country, many find it challenging to visit cemeteries regularly. BloomBridge addresses this issue by delivering flower arrangements to gravesites, ensuring that loved ones are remembered and honored. “We send a photo confirmation with each delivery, providing peace of mind and a tangible connection,” Kristen explains. This service has brought comfort to many who can’t be there in person.
BloomBridge operates through a network of dedicated “BloomBridge runners” across the United States. Here’s how it works:
The significance of BloomBridge’s service extends beyond convenience. It offers emotional relief and a sense of fulfillment for those who wish to honor their loved ones but cannot do so in person. “Seeing the photo of the decorated gravesite can be profoundly comforting,” Kristen notes. “It’s about spreading love and keeping memories alive.”

BloomBridge’s mission is further enhanced through its partnerships with Find a Grave. These collaborations help customers locate their loved ones’ gravesites and share family history. “Working with Find a Grave allows us to offer a more comprehensive service, connecting people not only to their loved ones’ final resting places but also to their family heritage,” Kristen says.
Since its inception, BloomBridge has grown significantly. “We started in 2017, and in just a few years, we’ve expanded to cover every city and state in the USA,” Kristen proudly shares.
Despite the growth, BloomBridge remains a close-knit, small business dedicated to its mission.
Kristen’s journey with BloomBridge wouldn’t be possible without her incredible team. “I have amazing partners like Patrick Norman, Huey Ngo, and Lulu Intan, who came on as angel investors, and Justin Johnson, who has been with me from the beginning,” she says. She also credits Jeremy Glisson for doing a fantastic job managing operations and the network of runners who make everything possible. Each team member brings unique strengths, making BloomBridge a true community effort.
Kristen’s connection to her business is evident. “It’s not just about the flowers; it’s about what they represent – love, remembrance, and connection,” she reflects. “I love going to cemeteries; it’s a peaceful place where you can be surrounded by people without a word being said.”
Kristen is not only a businesswoman but also an artist and a mother. Living in Pass Christian, she enjoys the beauty of Mississippi’s Gulf Coast. “I love being able to walk out my door and be on the beach in minutes. It’s a place where I can reflect, create, and connect,” she says.
Outside of BloomBridge, Kristen’s life is rich with hobbies and passions. She enjoys fishing, painting, and even playing the piano. “I believe in experiencing everything life has to offer,” she shares. Her love for art and people shines through in every aspect of her life, from creating handwritten notes to participating in pottery classes with her mom.
Kristen Allen’s BloomBridge is more than just a business; it’s a testament to love, dedication, and the power of keeping promises. By addressing the challenges of modern life and leveraging partnerships with Find a Grave, BloomBridge ensures that the tradition of honoring our loved ones with flowers continues, no matter the distance. Kristen’s journey from a heartfelt promise to a thriving business is an inspiring story of connection, creativity, and compassion.
