Doing a devotional with the husband about the power of words! Words can build, words can destroy! Simple words like thanks and help can radically change our lives! Words in marriage are so important for lasting communication! We should use our words gently and wisely to build our partner up and not tear down! The easy thing to do is to complain, the pick apart each other, to use those words to remind them of short comings! But evaluate the words you use towards your spouse, and try to use them to encourage and correct gently! Allow your words to be WORSHIP, GRATITUDE, ENCOURAGEMENT AND MORE!

Today I am thankful for GRACE that many have extended in this time as I figure out life as a mom, business owner, wife, and all the other things! I am thankful for family and friends being the best support system and showing up even tho I hate asking for help. I am thankful for Matthew being who he is and consistent and steadfast in all things. So many blessings all from the Lord. My prayer is I use my words wisely for all our brides not allowing anything that isn’t of the Lord to leave these lips!

Choose your words wisely! Allow them to build up others and yourself! Let them bring worship to the Lord!

On this day in 2019 .lori.sh was born, and trust me we shouldn’t be here today! It’s only by the good Lord that we are here! Here’s a quick summary in case you never knew how I started this venture🤍 swipe to see throwbacks!!!
•
2019 rolled in and I found out we (my sisters and I - 4 in college is brutal) couldn’t afford to go back to school so I’m the sadness of having to move out I decided to use this time to just try my hand in the wedding world solo! I had worked for different florist and planners as well as worked at a venue! So I told my new FIANCÉ and friends and family I was gonna do valentines to see if I wanted to actually do this on my own! I went with my dad to the court house filed for a license and thought what could go wrong?!? Classic last line before a humbling … highlights include:
•
Replacing all 4 tires from blowouts, new laptop cause it decided to just not turn on, new charger for it because night before I left it at work, balancing 2 other jobs trying to get flowers from places because the online place I ordered from sent me dead and not the right color flowers AS WELL AS THINGS JUST JOT SHOWING UP, a youth retreat that same weekend at my church internship, family chaotically trying to help me get supplies and flowers that never came, 1 hour of sleep, CAR THAT HAD NEW TIRES being repossessed, down 2 cars for my delivery and so much more. ..
•
I wish I could type it all out but it all started with a stubborn girl with a dream to succeed and family and friends who wouldn’t let her fail! My family stepped up and delivered like mad men with me, my friends stepped up and took over pickup orders, drove me to the airport, Matt helped me with my final order in Beaumont, ate some noodles, cried and then talked about how we were going to fix this!
•
We found a car on our drive back to be leaders at the DNOW weekend, realizing life was not going to be as smooth sailing as we thought. Made it out on the other side and I remember telling Matt how HORRID that was but could we do it again? And thus F.LORI.SH came to be! There’s so much more but just grateful for my people and husband and JESUS for making this chaos F.LORI.SH into beauty!

A beautiful sun shining day to remind me of Gods abundant blessings! ☀️ It’s so easy to fall into a spirit of complaining or comparison, especially when we buy into the lie that we deserve more than what is happening! Truth is we deserve nothing! God gives us grace and mercy! But we often find ourselves not content with the things we have, trapped in a cycle of wanting more, wanting change, insatiable attitude keeping us from the peace God has given us! The devil tries so hard to distract us from what God is doing and has done especially in a time where you are thriving! Often times I find my hardest battles being fought when I’m closest to Him! So here’s your reminder each day is a day to start FRESH! Each day is a GIFT! It’s not promised to us! Genuinely count each blessing and name them out loud! Keep your eyes on Jesus! Tell the enemy he can keep his sluggish Monday blues for someone else!
•
•
Today we let the SON shine on us and walk in the blessings of new mercies! Even when I failed yesterday, I wake up and start new! How beautiful is that?!

Little Miles has all the attention ever and while behind the scenes over here we are still going, the socials have definitely taken the back burner!

MILES RILEY HAS OFFICIALLY JOINED THE TEAM! Born 9.26.2024, he came a little late but he’s perfect in every way! Thanking and praising God for allowing a safe delivery and healthy baby boy! He’s the love of our lives and sooo precious!

What do you need to know when inquiring?!? Let’s get you set up for success!!!! Answer below! 🤍
•
•
1. Budget! We know it’s tricky and your budget may even change as the wedding evolves! Be honest and realistic and if it grows we can always add on things later!
2. The vision! Colors, style, and general picture of how you see your day looking! Enjoy pinteresting ideas but remember the more flowers you see the more $$ it can cost! But we will help suggest and adjust according to your budget and wants!
3. General numbers! Rough table estimates, wedding party numbers, anything we need multiples of we need a loose idea of how many of what! Again we can always add on! This just gives us a jumping off point!
4. Photos! The more the better! It helps me see your vision without having to describe everything! There’s already a lot to communicate when planning a wedding! Sometimes photos can tell me more than any amount of words!
5. EXCITEMENT! Why?! BECAUSE YOU ARE FINALLY PLANNING YOUR WEDDING AND ITS THE BEST TIME! It’s a lot and scary sometimes feeling out of your element or knowing little about specific flowers but that’s my job to help fill the gaps and create magic! So let’s have fun and do this flower thing!

07/08/2024

A moment for this classic fairytale of a wedding! 🤍🫶🏼We can’t argue that an all white wedding isn’t timeless and classy! A lot of people are starting to move away from this look and into some bold color schemes! Personally I love both and think we can make magic no matter the colors!
•
•
Are you a team all neutral or bring on the color?!

03/07/2024

As our due date with baby f.lori.sh gets closer, I’m reminded at how blessed I am to serve all you brides out there! Even when I’m not feeling it, the love and joy you share with us boosts our moods like no other! Thank you so much for trusting .lori.sh to make your floral dreams happen! You guys are amazing and make me cry in the best possible way!

MEET PEPE!!! (that’s what we are calling him for now lol) Pepe wondered in our backyard last Friday and was startled to meet 5 other big dogs! He is looking for his forever home! He likes people, just a little nervous at first but warms up! Not the biggest fan of big dogs, but he loves peanut! He is a lap dog who loves a fuzzy blanket and never wants to move! We think he’s 5/6/7 but who knows! Male Chihuahua who just wants to nap peacefully and if you know our house it’s almost impossible without someone wanting to play! The shelter believes he was dumped so we aren’t sure what his previous life was like but if you’re looking for the chillest pup to hang with, you should meet this little ham!

Please share so we can find him a home!

YEAR 4 WITH MR. F.LORI.SH!!!! Happy anniversary my heart! 💗 We pretty much exclusively work through our anniversary every year (because wedding season) but this man always selflessly serves along side me with no complaints and makes this whole operation possible. But this is why we do it! We know the value of marriage! We know that it’s more than a wedding, it’s the start of your life! So here is 4 things I would have told myself on this day 4 years ago!…
1. Things are going to fall apart and go wrong today, but it doesn’t matter because the man you’re marrying will spend every day making sure you wake up feeling loved, supported, cared for, and that’s more than enough! (If you haven’t heard all our wedding day mishaps I promise it’ll make you feel so much better lol)
2. Enjoy the slow moments! So often we want to go so fast but now looking at all the pictures it’s crazy to think we are having a baby, bought a house, run a fun business, and so much more in such a short time! Pause and remember to just enjoy the little moments you’re in!
3. Never stop having fun! There is no one in life I can have more fun with than ! So often we find ourselves in what could be tense situation and somehow we come out laughing, singing, and dancing! Don’t take life too seriously! It’s short, it’s CHAOS, it’s nothing you can control! We are a team! So whatever problem hits I know we got this!
4. WITHOUT JESUS NONE OF THIS WOULD BE POSSIBLE! Sure would we be married and surviving? Maybe honest probably not tho since we met on a church choir / mission trip !! But seriously, to know Jesus is to know grace and forgiveness. I look at our marriage and see nothing but grace and mercy sprinkled in as we navigate two personalities from different homes and families trying to live under one roof! So often we rush to win or to prove our point but Jesus reminds us to be equal partners in this journey, lean into the rolls and talents he gave us, share in life’s ups and downs, and to love unconditionally and FORGIVE always!

If you made it this far, I hope you take a moment and think about the blessing your marriage or upcoming marriage truly is🤍 (ps I love you )

25/04/2024

We believe that having Jesus as the center of your marriage can really change the entire course of two people’s lives! Two equal partners working together with the gifts + strengths + specialized roles God created us for! It’s putting aside our own selfish wants and desires, pushing past pride, and learning to respect and encourage one another to f.lori.sh in Gods plan!
•
•
Life is hard, but doing it together with a focus greater than anything this earth has to offer makes it all worth it!
•
•
Also love the white cross that we now have in our inventory in case you were wondering(;

Who you surround yourself with matters! My favorite story that embodies friendship in the Bible is in Mark 2 and Luke 5: basically one of the friends was paralyzed and they had heard of Jesus healing people but when they got to where Jesus was in this house it was so crowded there was no way they would squeeze in with their friend on a mat… they could have walked away and no hard feelings. I know I feel that way asking for help sometimes, but these men didn’t give up. Instead they made a way and lowered their friend from the roof to in front of Jesus and Jesus healed him because of their faith!!! Funny enough this upset the religious leaders, but without those friends that man would have lived out the rest of his days paralyzed soooo…..!!! I hope you have those people that when you can’t go any further, they bring you back to Jesus. I hope you are that friend to those around you! Life is HARD and we all need a little help sometimes! So surround yourself with those speak life, carry you when you’re broken, don’t what it takes to help no matter what it looks like to outsiders, meet needs when you can’t! True community is beautiful 🫶🏼🤍🥹

Gods goodness and faithfulness in this season has been more than evident! Our prayer for our brides is…

🤍 a strong and healthy marriage rooted in Gods love and grace

Apart from Christ, life feels overwhelming! Especially in the world we live in! So the best advice we can give you, get planted and spend time in Gods word together! Pray together! Your husband or wife is your biggest warrior!

Just something light and happy to brighten up your Thursday!!! 🤍 I’m seriously loving this weather lately because it makes me excited to see all the pretty flowers on the side of the road again!

All the flowers truly just remind me of how amazing our God is! He chose to make beauty for us to enjoy and for that I’m thankful! A world without sunsets, mountains, beaches, rainbows, puppies, and flowers would be SAD!
