This melts me a little - I saw this post while scrolling in bed earlier this morning and paused. It’s stayed with me ever since. What we do is hard work - people often say “your jobs are so pretty”. They don’t see the behind the scenes side - crazy mess, late nights, early mornings, commitment to events in the future when we have NO idea what challenges will be in our own lives on the wedding day (or the fun we will miss). Dealing with flowers that show up the wrong colour, even lifeless. Frozen coolers. Feeling unwell sometimes and doing it anyway. We work through it all and make it happen, trying so hard to keep everyone who commit to us for their big day happy - both for decor clients and for flowers. It genuinely matters to us.
… SO knowing people appreciate what we do keeps us going. It’s ironic that this photo has so much colour. It’s like it’s meant to boldly remind us that what we do matters. So happy these beautiful blossoms are being enjoyed by a group of people who need it. Who have challenges bigger than us. We hope these beautiful blossoms brighten things for you too, even if just a little.
Thank you for making this post Iris Kirby House - you gave me a big smile today.
S&J, such a nice thing you did. Really, really love this!! Congratulations you two. We hope you had a wonderful wedding day!! Thank you for choosing us for your decor and flowers 🙂
