I Dream of Flowers

Flowers are a constant in my life, they are always on my mind. I swear most nights I dream of flowers! They aren’t always good dreams either, I have floral nightmares too and those are terrifying!
This usually happens during wedding season or just before a big holiday, waking up panicked that the cooler froze, the hydrangea drooped or the red ranunculus I ordered showed up in a lovely shade of purple.
Unfortunately sometimes these things really do happen and I turn in to……….eeeek I’m afraid to say it!
I turn in to the sulky grumpy florist! But hey, at least I admit it!
When something like this happens you probably shouldn’t talk to me or tell me not to worry or anything like that because it just won’t work! I’ll shed a few tears, head to my work station and get to work on figuring it out and in the end I will make it right.
We all make mistakes and we should all learn from those mistakes because no one is perfect! I have made my share of mistakes, I have missed floral consults, ordered 200 stems of something instead of 20, broken the very last rose that I needed so badly… and the list goes on and on! Of course I beat myself up over these things time and time again but I am learning to be kinder to myself and to remember I’m only one person. But flower mistakes just hit me smack dab in the heart!
So, do you think I’m completely crazy yet?? A lot of people do, they give me that look when I say I don’t sleep the night before a big wedding or that I show up at the store at daylight to check on the bouquets I spent every ounce of my creative juices and time on. It’s a good kind of crazy that I am, at least I think so!
When I opened Blush Floral my craziness intensified by about a million percent, this place means the world to me and I don’t want to let anyone down. I want you to smile and feel good when you see a beautiful bloom the way I do because you deserve that! You deserve to enjoy the flowers, the bright vibrant colors and the sweet scents. Don’t we all?!
