The hostess behind Host of the South

My name is Abby Powell, a North Carolina native and proud UNCW alumna. I’m a wife, a mother of two, and someone who deeply values family, friendship, and meaningful connection.

Celebrating the people I love has always been at the heart of who I am—whether it’s through a thoughtful gift, a simple gesture, or gathering loved ones together in my home. I’ve always believed that life’s moments, big and small, deserve to feel special.

That love for celebrating and attention to detail is what inspired my passion for creating custom bows. I specialize in handcrafted bows for wreaths, garlands, and special occasions—each one thoughtfully designed to add beauty and personality to your home.

To me, a bow is more than just an accent—it’s the finishing touch that brings everything together. Whether you’re decorating for the holidays, welcoming guests, or giving a meaningful gift, my goal is to help you create something truly special.

Each piece is made with care, creativity, and high-quality materials, with a focus on those little details that make a big impact.

I would love to help bring your vision to life—reach out to create your custom bow or shop current designs.
