On this day in 2019 .lori.sh was born, and trust me we shouldnât be here today! Itâs only by the good Lord that we are here! Hereâs a quick summary in case you never knew how I started this ventuređ¤ swipe to see throwbacks!!!
â˘
2019 rolled in and I found out we (my sisters and I - 4 in college is brutal) couldnât afford to go back to school so Iâm 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 FIANCĂ 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:
â˘
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. ..
â˘
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 wouldnât 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! Thereâs so much more but just grateful for my people and husband and JESUS for making this chaos F.LORI.SH into beauty!
