The Flower Bed

03/27/2022

***LONG POST ALERT 🚨

I know apart of me has really been procrastinating putting this out there… it’s extremely bittersweet for me and I’m trying not to be too sad, but the truth is, I am!!! 🥺 As we have mentioned before The Flower Bed will be temporarily closing while we are figuring out Motherhood - so we have decided to go out with a BANG!

At (almost) 37 weeks pregnant, 🤰 myself & ALL my flower-power peeps set up at the Peaches and Tortilla Mercantile “Let’s Grow Girl” Market yesterday celebrating their Grand Opening! It was a TOTAL success and I’m so proud of you Lascena, this new location is just the beginning to what mountains you are going to move. I’m so appreciative of your support and friendship and look forward to working with you again in the future! 🏔

We were blown away by everyone that came out to support us, as well as, all the other numerous small business mama-makers + boss babes ✨🍑

I couldn’t be more proud of where this business adventure has taken me. However, it’s my support system I owe so much thanks to! Jessica, Kaylee and Aariana for always making time to help me at events, John & Randy for assisting with setting up Joy-Cart and how about YOU guys… all the new AND reoccurring faces I get to watch build bouquets time and time again! It’s just been a dream come true and I am so thankful for every second of it! 💐

This will be our LAST Market for awhile and I will no longer be available during the week for deliveries. But don’t worry, this isn’t “good-bye” it’s merely “see you later!”

Until we meet again 💖

Cheers to love, laughter & happily ever after 💍

So pleased with how perfect these five Bridal Shower centerpieces turned out! Sage, white and dusty pink to match the color palette of the party in the classiest containers around.

My dearest, we hope you had a grand time celebrating with your girls! 🤍🌿✨

Don’t let the gloomy weather deter you ☁️

I’m booked out this weekend designing Bridal Shower centerpieces, I’ll be back next Tuesday for all your floral needs. Place your orders now to ensure a delivery spot…

This is just the beginning for the tulip jam jars 🌷
Sprinkle Mix • Feathered White • Double Petal Pink

What colors should I order in?? Parrots anyone? 🦜

In less than four weeks, Spring will be upon us and to say I’m excited is an understatement! Go away cold, windy days… bring on the beautiful sunshine and pastels!

We started a little early this year, as I asked the hubby for a bouquet of tulips for VDay and he certainly didn’t disappoint!

Now it’s my turn to share the love 🤍
Tulip Jam Jars are back in season + our original hand wrapped bouquet option

ＢＲＥＡＫ ＴＩＭＥ ☕️🤰👣

Just a friendly reminder that I will be closed from tomorrow, February 5th through 15th, as I will not be participating in the Valentine’s Day holiday this year!!!

At 30-31 weeks pregnant, I am looking forward to celebrating from the other side of the workshop table. Thank you all again for understanding and remember, plan ahead for that special someone! 💋

These centerpieces call for all things sage and white - I can literally smell these pictures, the eucalyptus was SO fresh! Congratulations again, we can’t wait to meet your little bundle of joy!

***Let’s talk about February… 💝💋💐

I have some really bad news which I have been procrastinating announcing due to my indecisiveness. However, after weeks of debate I have decided I will NOT be participating in the Valentine’s Day holiday this year. I’ll be 31 weeks pregnant at that time and long hours on my feet, taking and complete orders is just something I don’t think I can keep up with. I pride myself on being able to say an arrangement or bouquet is 100% me and if I feel like I would be putting out anything less, I don’t want to do it.

Deciding to start a family comes with sacrifice and I know it’s going to start with The Flower Bed. It’s bittersweet for me because I love what I do with my free time but I also want to be a mom.

To all my regular customers I hope I’m not letting you down too much, if I could you know I would! I love you guys so much, I appreciate each and everyone of you for thinking about my small business first. I wanted to give you all a heads up in advance so that you can make other arrangements for that special someone!!!

So just to clarify, I will NOT be taking any orders nor will I have flowers in my cooler from the Feb. 5th-15th! After that I will continue with my normal weekly deliveries until I can’t anymore! That being said… on a personal note: I do look forward to spending our last Valentine’s Day with the Hubby before our little girl gets here 🥰

01/03/2022

Good Morning and Happy Monday! 😖
After 5 amazing days away from work and worry, I have decided to pause all things flowers this week (only) to set my January and February up for mass success.

Not only is it still pretty festive with Christmas decor around here but it’s official nursery month for me! Being unavailable for weekly deliveries will give me just the right amount of time to prep for MY BIG delivery!

Once we are all done getting life situated I’ll be back to business 💜 I’m so sorry for any inconveniences and if you would like to order an arrangement, message me to get on the calendar for next week!

𝕎𝕆𝕎𝕫𝕖𝕣𝕤 ! 𝕎𝕙𝕒𝕥 𝕒 𝕐𝕖𝕒𝕣 !
So many new faces and events we were able to meet and celebrate with this year! I owe it all to you guys and this community for allowing me to be apart of so many rewarding moments. Bringing joy to a loved one or a smile to someone in need, flower deliveries 𝔸𝕃𝕎𝔸𝕐𝕊 do the trick! 🥰

Things will be a little different as we welcome 2022 into swing as most of you know, John & I are expecting our first bundle of joy this April, little Ms. Autumn Kay (AKA) Mom’s new flower helper! So please have patience with us as the future tumbles forward… we will keep you updated on possible participation in events and holidays this Winter/Spring. 🩰

𝔹𝕖𝕤𝕥 𝕔𝕦𝕣𝕣𝕖𝕟𝕥 𝕟𝕖𝕨𝕤: We are in Nashville for New Years so I’ll get back to you all once I return to the office! In the mean time here are a few festive photos to get your through these drizzly and foggy days 𝔸ℕ𝔻 thank you a thousand time again for choosing me and my small business dream! 🥂

Happy December 1st! 🎅🏻

So much to talk about:

* I am booked tomorrow Dec. 2 & 3 and will be out of town all weekend. So! If you need to place an order, I’ll be available again next week. 🗓

* Yay! For all things seasonal! This months color palette will be [of course] Red, Whites & Greens using only the best Pinecones, Holly w/ Berries, Fir, Cedar and Pine! 📯

* We are completely SOLD OUT of mixed garland, I was a little intimidated this year but am kicking myself [now] for not ordering MORE! Prepare for triple the amount next year! 🌲

* Lastly, I was invited to both HarCo at Home & Peaches and Tortilla Mercantile Markets this weekend and unfortunately will not be attending either. I’m so sad I won’t be able to stand beside these lovely ladies, but wish them ALL the luck this weekend! So go out, shop and support. It’s not always easy being Small! 🛍

Sometimes you just need a pop of color for your table or a quick fix to a sticky situation... check out my story daily to see what GNG bouquets are available!

I’d love to start designing these items daily (depending on life, of course) how easy would it be to “grab and go” with a bundle of beautiful blooms!

📸: One of our fabulous clients April Grunewald snapped this picture of her GNG bouquet we created last week and I had to track her down for a copy of it!
