Maybe it’s a little early to share. Maybe it’s best to hold it in and wait for a grand reveal. But, I think there is also something really beautiful and real about the process. And let me tell you, it has been a long process with many of deep thoughts. Sometimes with big decisions, you just need to wait for the universe to give you a sign that the timing it is right. With Venus in Leo and Jupier in Aries, I figured today is as good of a sign as any. So with this being said, I am going to let you in on the biggest shift in our business model since we opened almost 7 years ago. I hope you enjoy being a part of this story and how it will unravel as it is still just a seed that is growing (well maybe more of a sprout at this point.)
There is a mix of emotions as our lead designer parts ways with H&G and begins a new journey of her own. Blaire and I have been working together for almost 8 years and have been through so much as designers and close friends. I am so grateful for her time with us and for all of the beauty she has created for our clients throughout the years.
A shift for H&G has been coming for quite some time and sometimes the universe provides a catalyst to set thoughts into actions. After being a florist for 17 years, it is time to slow down and re-connect with the process of floral design as art. As an artist, what I enjoy most is executing weddings from beginning to end. Putting everything I have into each piece, no matter how big or small. Taking my time with each flower, colour moment and sculptural element. So what does this mean? Going forward, we will be taking on 65% less weddings than we have been in the past years of business.
This may seem wild, but if you know the industry, you know it is not easy on the body and sometimes when you are in high production mode, you loose sight of being that artist. I am very excited about this big change, what it will bring to our clients (who will receive the utmost care in their designs), how it will bring me fulfillment/peace and the space it creates for other ventures that I have had up my sleeve for quite some time.
