New Found Love
I've always been a creative and thrifty person, which are definitely genes inherited from my mom, Bonnie. I grew up wanting craft kits for birthday presents rather than toys or electronics. I'm someone who thrives best when I have a "project" I can work on to bring joy to others or myself in my spare time. Long before I even met my husband, my mom and I always said that when the time eventually came, we would have so much fun making homemade décor, favors, etc. for my future wedding. We knew that this would be an amazing way to both save money for this occasion, but also make so many wonderful memories together leading up to it.
When I became engaged in December 2019, my mom and I immediately began prepping many wedding "projects" in anticipation of my wedding. A lot of these projects were in our known wheelhouse, mostly dealing with paper and photos, due to our history of scrapbooking and card making together since my childhood. However, we also knew that we wanted to use artificial flowers and make all the bouquets, boutonnières, corsages and church decorations for the wedding ourselves. The funny thing was...we had never worked with artificial flowers in this way before!
This is where I discovered my "new found love." Surprisingly (or maybe un-surprisingly), arranging the artificial flowers for my wedding came super naturally to me. My mom was a huge support and offered a lot of amazing advice. But I was amazed at how easily I was able to match my specific colors and preferences and create beautiful arrangements that looked practically like real flowers! The most important part was that I realized I had found a type of craft that brought me, personally, more joy than any other I had ever made.
Only 6 months into marriage and I have found myself really missing those moments of creating homemade floral arrangements. So, thanks to the encouragement and inspiration from both my mom and my husband, I have decided to create this shop to share this joy with others and continue making this type of craft for others in my spare time.
