Thank you so much @parkandoakparlour @parkandoakcollected @parkandoakdesign for hosting Flights & Florals Workshop. Im always so thankful to be able to be in your space!
💐 🍸
It was so much fun to have this workshop, I was able to introduce a foam free and tape free floral arrangement and everyone’s arrangement turned out so beautiful. So excited to be able to offer foam free workshops for the future.
🫶Thank you to everyone who came, truly makes my heart so happy.

Peony Season is over and Summer has officially begun!
🌸
I was so lucky to be able to do so many beautiful peony bouquets and arrangements.
🌸
What was your favorite arrangement?! I think mine was the peony one 😜
🌸
I have lots of fun things coming up that I will be posting, not doing as many pop-ups but I will be doing at least one a month but I am also thinking of doing a bi-weekly or monthly floral subscription or something, anyone interested? Would be perfect for home or business!!
Let ya girl know! 🌸
Let’s talk small business!
🌸
I have always been a huge supporter of small business. I think it starts with walking into their space, be it a cozy, thoughtfully curated space to shop in or their market space takes you out of that market and into their dream. I love it all.
🌸
Nothing makes me feel more full of pride in terms of business when I can wear everything that day, full of Local small businesses! Even better when people stop to ask and I can send them to a new local space!
🌸
I don’t do as many markets these days but when I do, gosh, I get revived and even more motivated after chatting with all the vendors (that I’m able to chat with!) and love hearing what got them started, what their current goals are, etc. It’s a reminder I’m where I am SUPPOSE TO BE.
🌸
I’m building a business not just doing what I love but to build something for my family. To be able to take some friends along the way. If I have a friend that has a dream, I may be small (for now) but I’ll do what I can to share their dream. It’s all about the support, for small business. It’s so scary to put yourself out there and you’re providing something that you THINK is amazing but it’s so scary to be like ‘but what if they don’t?!’ I think the care that goes into worrying so much about our clients is what makes us have such amazing eye in the details, quality because there’s so much thought that’s gone into it. But it’s terrifying. Just need 3 seconds of bravery to put yourself out there.
🌸
This video was taken back, about a month ago for a pop-up in Frankfort and can I just say, so many amazing,beautiful women. It was truly a great time and again, with the support of their community so many people came through to support a handful of women working towards a dream! I think I only had 2 bouquets left! I call that a win!
Thank you @maddiemariebeauty @bellezzaroomsalon for hosting and it was a pleasure to have met @thecandlevault @fuelhealthandiv @gi
Let’s talk BUDVASES!
🤍
So I love #budvases and use them often! So amazing to fill a table, add a little something to a space that look empty, can be used at centerpieces if done en masse, gives a little ✨ at the end of the day.
🤍
A big tip for ya if you plan to purchase your own budvases or do your own: look at the opening! If you’re going for a specific look with specific flowers make sure your openings are large enough to hold them.
So vases also have shapes ⏳ like these budvases. So pretty but we definitely had to zhuzh-ing and it looked stunning in the end but wanted to share a tip with ya!
🤍
Can’t wait for these photos to come out, so many budvases of roses and candle light!
🤍
Gimme your thoughts of budvases in the comments and if you like floral tips every so often 👇

A moment for these stunning floral arrangements I got to make for @kalomatidesign @kalomatidesign for Greek Easter
I cannot get over the peonies, anemones, quicksand roses. Favorite arrangements I have made recently 😍
One Year ago (+ one extra day because I was enjoying the weather too much yesterday to post) I made Lady Bird Blooms IG official!
🌻
Many of you may not know how LBB came to be so here’s a lil story time:
🌻
⛔️ Trigger Warning (miscarriage)
🌻
I have always loved doing floral arrangements be it hosting, making them for others, helping friends at their weddings or their hostessing. So florals have always been around. I use to teach workshops of a different type (nothing floral related at all!) but with my workshops I always use intentional practice in making little floral arrangements so my workshop spaces had some sort of interest.
Last year March 31, I suffered a miscarriage at the beginning of my 2nd Trimester. With so much sadness and I just felt lost. My husband, goodness love him, said to me ‘well let’s start this business’ and helped me set everything up that I was VERY SLOWLY considering I could even own my business and doing the least to start my business. With our loss, a HUGE distraction I started Lady Bird Blooms. With a great loss and feeling the world was so dark we turned it to make something beautiful and hope everyone’s day is a little more beautiful with my flowers.
Ending the week that is also #Infertilityawarenessweek I also want to let others know, give hugs they aren’t alone.
🌻
Not putting a damper on LBBs 1 year but also a little story. You don’t have to have a college degree, tons of money, a perfect life I.e the stars being in perfect alignment but willing to put yourself out there, a splash of dumb confidence and going for it. Having a support system is also a huge help 😉
🌻
Thank you again for all your support 🫶 I’m beyond proud of how far I have come in one year and I will always be thankful for those who have shown up for me.
🌻
I cannot wait to see what LBB does this year… Go Big or Go home right?

And just like that… Lady Bird Blooms turns 1 this week.
🥹
The amount of gratitude I have for people choosing LBB for being a part of a special day, businesses taking a chance on me to be a part of their space, the support from other people in business who became friends. Thank you to EVERY.SINGLE.Person who travelled to one of my pop-ups because they “Just love my flowers”.
🫶
I had goals I wanted to hit for myself in the first year and holy-cow we surpassed them and what we have planned in the next next has me giddy with excitement. Pushing myself to do new things and getting to be a part of so many amazing occasions.
💐
Thank you, thank you to more than 1000 of you joining and supporting this lil dream of mine.
💕
It was so tough to only choose 35 clips of the past year as it has just touched all the amazing experiences I got to do/be a part of.
🌸
Thank you to all my friends and family for all the support and me being a lunatic at times. 🫶
🎂 @premiersweetsbyautumn (not only is she such a sweet human who I can call a friend, she is local in the Darien area, but I sent her what I wanted for my lil cake and she crushed it!
@moiranolanphotography for helping with this video and we have some fun stuff coming soon. Another sweet human being who is so so talented in her business.
A few thank yous:

Absolutely amazing event at @parkandoakparlour @parkandoakcollected @parkandoakdesign THANK YOU FOR HOSTING AND I LOVE YA 😉
We may or may not make this an annual event 😉
🌷
I absolutely adore working alongside the team at @parkandoakparlour with a stunning space to be in, outstanding cocktails in the Parlour, working with @premiersweetsbyautumn making custom cookies for my attendees (her sugar cookies are amazing, no dry cookies here!) and an amazing group of Gal celebrating their Galentines me lil ole me 🫶
We were a full house and in the end, full of beautiful floral arrangement’s! Maybe we will make it an annual event?! 😜
🌷
Thank you to everyone involved and everyone who joined in on this event. It was such a great event, thank you for coming!
🌷
I adore hosting workshops. It is truly a chance to build@my relationship with the LBB community. With that being said, I will be making a few adjustments to workshops to keep them fun and giving each person the best experience but with that workshop prices will be increasing a smidge 🥰 I hope you all understand and from this reel see how much work goes into doing my workshops. I want it to be a full on experience.
I will always try to stay as affordable as possible, I promise!!
🌷
What an amazing charity event so got to be a part of ☺️
Thank you @rachel_jenness_realtor @360youthservices for having me a part of this event.
At this specific event there were bags FILLED with hygiene products, bags to use for their products. These young women leave bad situations and often times without anything then need for their daily life (brushes, female hygiene products, etc)
I was able to donate all the proceeds of the event to @360youthservices and it truly warmed my heart to be able to do so.
Thank you @irishjennd @rachel_jenness_realtor for having me a part of this event with so many amazing women.
Trader Joe’s Floral arrangement!
I did this arrangement for NYE but it’s always time for disco vibes and bright & fun colored florals!
I need more 🪩 in my life
Do we like these types of videos? Thought it was fun to make 🫶

Can we call this #WayBackWednesday because I am finally able to post this AMAZING workshop? Bringing it back old school IG.
Ha, but AANNYYYWWAAAYYYSSSS
This was my last workshop of 2023 at @pollyannasocial in @lemontdowntown
It was a full house and I couldn’t have asked a better way to end the year.
Let’s chat a bit about my workshops, I don’t think I ever formally made a post pertaining to the details.
My workshops can be either a public or private event. I love working with local businesses, collabing together to bring a fun event together. On the flip side, I also do private events in your home or space. I bring the flower bar/cart to the event and do a workshop for your group! Think Ladies night IN, Galentines, Thanksgiving, or any holiday/event to bring your people together and do something fun.
I provide all the supplies needed for the workshops and I also LOVE a reason to set up tables and make them cute for you so you have a whole experience doing the workshops which last about 1.5-2hrs long.
Prices can range pending size,occasion,special requests for florals.
So what do you? Want to schedule an event? I have a Galentines event coming Feb 15th and so CAN NOT WAIT (detailing coming ASAP) so mark your calendars!
I started my business officially in April and wow, what 2023 taught me when I accepted being comfortable at being UNCOMFORTABLE. Being scared never got me anywhere and when I quit being scared I can’t believe what I have achieved. 🥹
🫶
Everyone who has worked with me and helped me further my business, I am and will always be thankful.
🫶
Building relationships with other small businesses is truly a passion. I truly believe small businesses are the heart of our communities. No matter of your a brick and mortar, home studio, home baker, crafter, etc. I’m rooting for you!

Thank you for every opportunity and I can’t wait what a year in business will bring to @ladybirdbloomsllc and how I will grow!
