I am more than the florist;
I am also the detailer & designer, the one who goes to the thrift and finds the perfect vintage linens that match a brides colour-scheme and just so happen to remind her of her late nana. The one who gears up to go forage product that will be the perfect additions to the bridesmaid’s bouquets.
I am the one who notices the minor details that matter significantly.
This past weekend I had a bride who gave me her vision and let me run with it. Not only did she completely trust me with her once in a lifetime special day, she showed me so much grace through the darkest season of my life. As I struggled with communication during the ugliest part of my healing, moving homes, and finding my footings from starting anew; She trusted my word, that through all my current life changes, it would all come together on the day of & it sure did.
The morning after the wedding, during the typical product pickup/cleanup…. I ran into my bride and her mother, and her mother gave me a review that stopped me in my tracks and made my imposter syndrome finally shut down. From there a profound realization came to me - through all of my “brokenness” and personal turmoil, I was still able to create an atmosphere jam packed with love and joy, that others were able to experience and absorb.
It made me realize that that is the essence of who I am; Love and joy are the fuel to my fire. Spreading love and joy comes naturally to me - making people feel understood, heard, seen…and of course using mother nature to assist in doing so… man, that really does wonders to my soul.
Her mother said this to me… “When I walked in and saw everything decorated I got emotional and I couldn’t help but cry a little because it was like I could just tell, you were in my daughter’s head and you made it exactly how she envisioned, and it was beautiful!” ✨💖🥰
