Time to introduce another team member! This week we're introducing the fabulous;
RUBY GONZALES: FLORAL DESIGNER
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Hey! I'm Ruby Gonzales!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One of my favorite parts about the floral industry is the diversity in work that it brings-I couldn't bear to do the same thing every day with no variety. I also love how unique flowers are as a medium; no two blooms are ever the same, even if they're of the same variety, and it's so much fun finding a job for each special little flower. In addition, flowers brighten up my world so much I feel like I can't even have a bad day at work; they lift my spirits always.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I grew up in a flower shop and have been surrounded by flowers my whole life. I didn't think I'd end up being a florist, but a summer job with my parents opened a whole new world of a beautiful, fun career for me. I'm hooked!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The flowers I chose for my pictures are marigolds, or, cempasúchil as they're called in Mexico. Cempasúchil is a flower deeply ingrained in Mexican and indigenous American culture-their tradition endured colonizers' attempts to wipe out native culture and they remain a symbol of Mexico. My father is Mexican and I've been spending my whole life learning how to connect with our culture. You might recognize marigolds from Día de Los Mu***os celebrations, but there's much more to them! Agriculturally, they keep bugs and deer away from crops, and they're very popular in Central Asian wedding styles in the form of long garlands.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Flowers are very important to me as a testament to nature's prioritization of beauty. For as long as humans have existed, throughout the world, we have been captivated by the beauty of flowers. Flowers, to me, feel like the sun shining inside, gently warming your face, and always bringing you a joyous smile.

I’m way past due on introducing you all to our other amazing team members. Today’s intro goes to this golden ray of sunshine. Ashley lights up the room every time she steps in it, and her laugh is pure joy and her creativity is abound on all levels. We couldn’t be happier or luckier to have her on the team!

Meet ASHLEY ROSE STANOL: FLORAL DESIGNER
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Hey Flower Friends! I am a lover of flowers, food, fur babies, and all things colorful & creative. Plain and simple: my favorite part about working with flowers is the joy that it brings people. I also love that there is always more to learn when it comes to flowering, whether it's discovering new floral variations, learning new ways to design, or meeting a flower I've never met before!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In addition to getting my hands dirty in the floral industry, I also take a weekly pottery class that fills my creative cup, play with my dog Guapo, and work as a professional photographer. I picked a garden rose for my floral portrait because, well... it IS my middle name!

Throwing it back today for sweet Susanna this week! Susanna was not just a wonderful “client” but a dear friend I hold close to my heart. I’m always humbled when not only my Client’s choose Petaloso for their special day, but when my friend’s trust me with their vision on such an intimate occasion. It was so special getting to flower for this sweet soul, and her design was so much FUN! So many colorful blooms + unique rentals, along with what we’ve deemed the very technical term “big ass trees” 😂 To see the rest of S + K’s incredible, flower-filled day, head over to our stories now! ✨
