Alison Bertalotto dreamed of becoming a florist since she was a child.  After graduating from Oregon State University with a degree in apparel design, she spent many years as a wedding gown designer.  She decided to make that childhood dream a reality so in 2003 she attended the Floral Design Institute.  Shortly after graduation, she opened a Floral Design Studio with her business partner, Becky, in Sherwood, Oregon.  A year and a half later, they purchased the local Sherwood florist, and are now growing a booming business as “It’s All Arranged”.
