If this post is making it to you hello! I have some news!
I haven't posted on Bloom and Grove in a hot minute because I made the decision to not take on new clients at this time. I didn't want to make any hasty declarations, but I needed to take time to review my business and consider how I want to move forward. I am so grateful for all of the clients I have had the opportunity to work with, the freedom to design beautiful things, and learn so many lessons along the way.
For the curious mind, me stepping aside from Bloom and Grove has nothing to do as to whether this business was successful. It was very successful from a monetary POV. We exceeded our goals every year in business. (I could probably become a business coach/consultant after this startup TBH. π
) Again, thank you so much to all of my clients, vendors, and coordinators who I worked with! I tip my hat to all of the professionals in this industry who put the work in to make couples dream weddings come to life. I am cheering you on and celebrating your successes.
Are my floral days done? No. I don't think so. But I have decided to put a pause to my work as a wedding floral designer.
You may be wondering what's in store next. I can assure you, I've been dreaming. I think that with everything in life, it's so important to check in with yourself and notice the internal resistance you may feel towards certain things and ask why that resistance is there. For me, I noticed a growing resistance towards trying to meet new clients to book more weddings, and I finally realized it's because I just don't want to do weddings right now. I've also noticed myself gravitating towards new creative business endeavors. And so, I joyfully have decided to lean in and and say YES to what is next!
Thank you again to everyone who has supported me along the way! Bloom and Grove has been a beautiful passion project that arose out of a difficult time during the pandemic. There has been incredible beauty that was spurred on from that moment in time. Here's to growing and flowing!
Cheers!
