Hey. I’m Jerika.
Time for a not-so-formal it’s me post. I’m a mama to 3 head strong little boys, wife to one very fu***ng patient husband, passionate advocate for living life in the most uncensored and imperfect way, a self proclaimed goofball and a creative at heart 🙃 my career started when I planned my own wedding in 8 short weeks and couldn’t afford an over the top arbour piece my brain was dreaming up. With a little encouragement (& discouragement) and whole lot of delusion I made my first floral install (see my first ever post). From there it snow balled, a friend would ask, their friend would ask etc etc. Being fully self taught and quite literally somersaulting my way through the industry, I’ve learnt so much in such a short time and as I’ve grown I’ve leant more and more into full styling services. I could just provide blooms. But I wouldn’t walk away from the clients and jobs I have with the same amount of fulfilment. I don’t want to just bring you your flowers and f**k off. I tried, I cant do it. I relish in the trust and commitment that my clients have in me. The chance they take on this chaotic creative, and the gratitude they show me for moving mountains for them on their biggest day, because that’s how much I care.
I’ve been lovingly referred to as slightly vulgar, unconventional, and downright chaotic sometimes but this is how I want to run my business, you aren’t getting a brand, or a polished professional. You’re getting me, with a heap of premium blooms and skill to bring to the table with a side of dickheadery, and some of the most whacky thinking on ya feet kinda service you ever did see. Being so transparently me from day dot. There’s no business me vs personal life me, this was so important to me when I started out, I didn’t want to have to check myself and my nature constantly, I am my brand. And if that’s something that aligns with my couples then that’s all I could ever hope for.
I’m not everyone’s cup of tea, but if I sound like I might be yours then please hit me up and let’s co-create a downright amazing experience!
