My last floral class of the season and year last night! (I think?!) Was pretty tired as I wheeled out the last of the greenery in buckets into a building parking lot, but so grateful and thankful for the wonderful support from companies, law firms, private clients, and fellow small business owners. All I could do when I got home was grab a bite to eat and watch some mindless TV 😂👯♀️ But when you’re tired, it’s important to remember WHY you’re tired- in my case it’s because I was hired to teach a big class of highly educated professional women attorneys, for a business I started myself just a few years ago, so yes, it’s good to get hired and it’s ok to be tired! And I’m thankful! Now on to more holiday mom stuff…#neverending #tiredbutgrateful #thankful #busyholidays #supportsmallbusiness #afterwork #houston #womanownedbusiness
Anyone else have a busy morning?!? Arrived to a Pilates class to realize I wasn’t signed up, after id organized my whole morning what I thought was perfectly. Welp, there is no perfect! Now grabbing some florals for a client event and picking up some lip balm samples for my new cosmetics line between meetings. Just another day 🤪 #bosslife #momlife #busybusybusy #houston #makingitthrough #overscheduled #whoops
Picking up flowers and came across these eye popping fire orange/red sunflowers 🌻!! Never seen anything like them!! Such a fun twist for Fall. My line of work is full of surprises, and in this case such a joyous surprise! #happyfall #orangesunflowers #sopretty #localflorist #houston #htown #supportsmallbusiness
Baby it’s cold inside! 😆 Back at it in the florals fridge this morning, picking out some beautiful florals for this week. I’m hoping to offer some Fall flower offerings for classes and events soon.

Went back home to the place that started it all, the Rose Garden in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco! If you’ve taken any of my classes, you know that the Rose Garden has been my inspo for Blooming Garden Flowers, with its beautiful roses and surrounding eucalyptus trees, and thus all my flowers and classes include roses and eucalyptus. Such a wonderful day in the sunshine! #rosegarden #sanfrancisco #thecity #coastalliving #goldengatepark #gardeninspiration #iloveit #roses #eucalyptus

We made several white and gold holiday inspired Le Petite floral arrangements for a special dinner @backstreetcafe . These are our smallest arrangements and yet still pack a lot of punch. These are great to mix and match with some of our other items as well (flower boards, minis, special vases, etc). I think it’s so important to bring in flowers because they really dress up linens and the room! My clients generally give me a general color ideas, or an invite, and I take it from there with what inspires me that day at my floral wholesaler. Since this event was during the holidays and they wanted elegant, we came up with white and gold and I spray painted touches of gold. I also added hints of winter, and of course, as always with Blooming Garden Flowers, roses and eucalyptus. #butfirstflowers #dressingthetable #tabledecor #winterwonderland #houstonflowers #houstonflorist #houstonevents #houston #htown #houstonentertaining #roses #eucalyptus #customflowers #intimateaffair #winterflowers #houstonwinter #holidayflowers #whiteandgold #houstonartist #womanownedbusiness
