I am going to be sharing a little about Springvine history these next few days! Starting with this forever favorite. thank you for bringing us along for your gorgeous wedding day!! (I feel thankful to all of you for bringing us along on the most beautiful day of your lives! What a gift you all are to all of us!) With this beautiful spring like day…I’m starting here with Evane’s wedding!!
It’s a favorite of mine for many reasons.
The first reason being, the creative freedom that I was given. I loved the creativity of this bride and the fact that she gave me freedom of what to do. She said she was using indoor tropical house plants to decorate the ceremony with, so I knew I had to incorporate them throughout her wedding flowers. A client who trusts us, gets the most beautiful original pieces of what I call art in the end.
Second, it was the first time I had really overbooked myself. This particular weekend, I’ll never forget. I was working in my shop so late, I remember being tired and knowing it was late, just not sure how late, and then all of a sudden hearing the birds start chirping…you know what that means, it’s morning… I took my tired self from the shop to the shower and never went to bed until the following evening after setting up a wedding in Durham the following day. Thankfully Evane had an awesome friend team who setup her wedding and I didn’t have to go onsite there…but I did have to drive 2 1/2 hours to setup in Durham.
Thats when I decided that I needed to grow a team and I needed to take on fewer weddings. Even though, both of the weddings I took on that weekend are still two of my favorites!! But I was exhausted and knew working like that was not sustainable for me or my family or my business!
However, in 2016, a dream was brewing inside of me that I wanted to grow my business, while at the same time I wanted to be more present at home too. How was I supposed to grow my business without taking on more weddings and then adding to my team at the same time? Of which all seemed like an impossible dream! … to be continued.
