A FLORAE

What a wonderful birthday! Thank you SO MUCH for the numerous heartfelt messages! They were deeply felt and brought me so much joy. I spent time with my honey, my baby girl, my bougie babes and parents. I flowered, thrifted, ate well and drank a buzz, worked out and had two massages. Not to mentioned LAUGHED. It was an easy going birthday and all that I could ask for. The wedding season is cranking up real fast starting next weekend, making this weekend immensely needed and appreciated. Getting older is all about removing what’s holding me back and holding me down and setting myself free and I AM! It’s an incredible feeling. Cheers to 45!

45. 45 years of living, learning, loving and letting go. Doing what I love and loving what i do. Entering major body changes because perimenopause can suck it, but have never been more proud to give myself the flowers I deserve, with a new tattoo to memoralize it. 45 is a test and I’m determined to ace it. What I appreciate more than anything is having entered into a new transition that has allowed me to release what doesn’t serve me and step back into taking care of myself again. So today, I’m closing the shop and I’m going to do whatever it is I feel like doing. Starting with the gym. I’m a mother of an amazing almost five year old, extremely attracted to and love my husband, run three businesses that teach me more about myself every single day and can now say I’ve kept one business open for 16 years and counting. I wouldn’t want any other life than my own which I give thanks to the Lord every day for. Struggles and all. In my 45th year, I am becoming the next version of myself that feels grounded, clear, gives less shit and holds those close to me the closest. Cheers to getting older. Other than your entire body changing, it’s really pretty great haha See you back in the shop tomorrow! ;)

Mother’s Day was a huge success. We are soooo thankful for this community and all your support. I CRANKED out deliveries and pick ups and it made me so happy. Designing and movin’ and groovin’ is so much fun. My tired body and mind are supported by gratitude and that makes my heart feel so full at the end of a long day.

Alien encounter that day. My lips are sealed.

It may have been Mother’s Day weekend but the Yaniv’s also got married and it was a pleasure to provide florals for their wedding. The colors! Photos @jaredandquinn Venue @lyons_riverbend Planning @dottingthe_i

Happy Mother’s Day to you and yours. Really missing my little one today while I work. This day always holds a tug of emotions on my heart. I enjoy providing flowers to many mothers but find this day to also feel really lonely. Interesting duality. I look forward to seeing her at the day’s end.

Mabel is always intruding.

OBSESSED! with what my husband did for me!! I have wanted this done for a long time and this year is all about alignment, doing things for me, making shit happen and not wasting money on things that don’t move the needle forward anymore. We had contractors build the short countertop wall and then to save me a lot of money, my sweet, amazing husband took on the tiling job for both the wall and the cooler himself. We are a very busy household, and he works a very busy career in Lakewood but also at our event space @eventsbybestow , and yet he still dedicated time after hours to getting this done for me. I am so grateful! This is my home and it FINALLY feels like my home. Beautiful looking, beautiful feeling and ‘me’. Speaking of the flower shop portion. I’m so obsessed with the cooler. It’s exactly how I envisioned it to be. It’s feels like a kiln. I love walking into to work to see it, standing by it and feeling its style. I’m going to have so much fun back here. Now to set up the rest of the back with new products and make this flower shop FEEL like a flower shop and not just my workspace. I love you Diego!!

If you call today, you can still get your custom order in! All the pretty flowers get picked up tomorrow for Mother’s Day flowers this week. We take walk-in’s and last minute orders, always! 720.680.0046

Had to accessorize with the orchids. They were just too pretty against her skin not to.

Grind time. It never ends but I’ve made more moves in the last five months than I have in the last five years it feels like 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼 I’ll rest when I’m satisfied. So never. #likefatherlikedaughter
