I’m so incredibly grateful to everyone who supported my Daffodil Day Fundraiser in memory of my Mom Nuala this week. Just home after a busy day. Thanks to your generosity, we raised over €1000 and I've still to transfer some more from Revolut! I know who you all are—many of you donated without taking flowers, and so many helped spread the word by sharing my posts. Your kindness is amazing

A special thank you to my fellow wedding supplier buddies who also contributed—your support was so lovely!

If you see a volunteer out this evening, please support Irish Cancer Society —every little bit helps.

I'll be back to all things weddings after the weekend, but for now, I just want to say: To all the mothers, have a fantastic day on Sunday! And to those who find this time difficult, I hope you can do something that brings you a little peace.

Much love,
Karen 💛

This weekend, I won’t be doing Mother’s Day flowers — but don’t forget to celebrate your own mom/mammy/mum/ma. 💞

Instead, I want to focus on something close to my heart. This Friday, March 28th, is Daffodil Day in aid of the Irish Cancer Society, and this year, it means more to me than ever.

For almost 20 years, my incredible mom, Nuala, spent the week before Daffodil Day picking buckets of daffodils and then collecting on the street in Bruff with other wonderful volunteers. We never knew that one day, cancer would be the very reason we’d lose her.

Some of you may already know, but my mom passed away last July. She was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in September 2023, went through chemo and major surgery, and had her last treatment this very week last year. She fought so hard and got the all-clear in May, but sadly, the cancer returned, and we lost her just a couple of months later.

To honour her memory and continue the work she cared so much about, I’m selling small bunches of colourful tulips for a minimum of €20, with 100% of proceeds going to the Irish Cancer Society.

✨ Limited to 24 bunches
✨ Delivered locally this Friday
✨ Option to include a short message

If you’d like to order, message me tomorrow once I post the details on my stories. I’ll share the donation link for payment on anotherpost (I might also offer a Revolut option), and you can send me your delivery details, etc.

This isn’t about the flowers themselves—it’s about thoughtfulness, giving back, remembering those we’ve lost, and supporting those still fighting.

If you’d like to support, thank you. If you’d like to share this, thank you. And if you can, please take a moment this Mother’s Day to hug your mom a little tighter.

Thank you for remembering, supporting, and helping me keep Mom’s spirit alive this Daffodil Day.

Valentine’s & Flowers: The Real Story ❤️🌸

Every year, there’s talk about the price of flowers on Valentine’s—but here’s why: It’s not florists raising prices; it’s simple economics. There are only so many flowers available, and when global demand spikes, so do wholesale costs. Florists pay more to get the flowers you love, along with increased staffing and long hours to craft each bouquet with care. Unlike supermarkets, local florists create something fresh, unique, and personal just for you.

Supermarkets sell flowers cheaply because they buy in bulk, often sacrificing quality and freshness for lower costs. Their bouquets are mass-produced and flowers are treated as a loss leader to draw customers in. Unlike florists, who source premium blooms and create unique arrangements with care, supermarkets focus on volume. While convenient, their flowers may not last as long or carry the same personal touch.

It’s also disheartening to see businesses use phrases like "Forget flowers this Valentine’s" as a sales tactic. There’s plenty of room for everyone! But for florists, this day is a big deal—just like Christmas for retailers. Supporting your local florist means backing real people, real passion, and a small business that pours love into every stem.

However, you celebrate or not —whether with a partner, friends, family, or even some well-deserved self-love—spread kindness, share joy, and make someone smile. Happy Valentine’s Day (eve) Karen ❤️🌿
