✨ 2024, a year full of change! ✨
Those in my inner circle know that it’s very difficult for me to feel proud of myself and feel a sense of accomplishment— but this year, I took a risk in moving Sunburst Florals from Nashville to Wilmington and I am *actually* proud of how much I accomplished in 10 months here.
It was an *intentionally* slower year, but so much growth happened!
✨ 13 stunning weddings in FOUR states, including one of my largest to date! I took on “destination” work and made flower magic in TN, NC, OH and SC
✨ A styled shoot within 1 month of moving to Wilmington, thank you
✨ Designed flowers for elegant intimate beach ceremonies– something I never even dreamed of doing before– let’s do more of these!
✨ Met absolutely wonderful planners and had lovely coffee chats, thanks to for making me feel so welcome here– can’t wait for what we have planned next year!
✨ Worked with new wholesalers, experimenting with freight shipping and doorstep delivery from and local NC blooms from
✨ Amazing new freelancers for Sunburst, shout outs to .a.rhodes and for all your help
✨ Eavesdropped on a meetup and introduced myself when I heard the buzz word and they graciously welcomed me into their group
✨ Handled all the legal and tax stuff that comes with moving an entire business, and let me tell you, the government does not make it straightforward (shocker!)
✨ Tried my hand at new design styles and fell in love with more modern looks
✨ I’ve also been planning my own wedding for April 2025 and have a totally new appreciation for all the decisions my clients have to make!
✨ And the best change– I feel happier and lighter, like the light within me is shining again and I can’t wait to share that with you all in 2025!
Thank you to my friends and family, and most importantly, Tyler, my partner in everything, for being the best cheerleaders
2025 books are open and I’d love to work with you, in Wilmington, Charleston, in between, or far beyond! Cheers to new beginnings 🥂
