Last night at Brisbane City Hall, Blooms by Bridie was awarded 2nd place ๐ฅat the Queensland ABIA Awards ( ). This is my 5th year being nominated and my 4th year in a row coming in 2nd.
And this yearโฆ it was by just 0.05%.
While I didnโt take home the win, Iโm genuinely so grateful. These awards are voted entirely by couples, and knowing that my past couples consistently rate their experience so highly means a lot actually. It reassures me that the heart, care, and long hours I put into this little business are landing exactly where they should. With happy, content couples who are pleased they booked Blooms by Bridie.
Iโm also incredibly proud to stand beside so many reputable businesses. Many of the finalists have large teams and big studios. Blooms by Bridie is run by just me, supported by my family who come with me for drives and help when I need a hand and my amazing freelance florist, Susan (who I would be absolutely buggered without).
Maybe one day Iโll finally catch that top spot, but for now, being the bridesmaid again isnโt so bad (she's says for a 4th year ๐ ).
Special thanks to , and ofor cheering me on and keeping me in the loop on the night. You girls are the best ๐ฅฐ
Thank you to every couple who trusted me, voted, and shared such thoughtful feedback. Your support is the reason I get to keep doing what I love. ๐ค
