🌟TEN YEARS🌟 We just kicked off our decade year with the first wedding of the season at yesterday!
This photo👆🏻the very first instagram post, as the owner of KJ Floral Designs in 2015: the same year (under the advice of my oldest daughter) I rebranded my flower shop business, to launch KJ Floral Designs out of our home. As a single mom, the intention was to start small, so that I could be here for my daughters. I thought maybe we’d do a few weddings a year. So in 2015, some friends and family reached out to do their weddings, and it quickly blew up from there. The workspace started in the kitchen, creeping into the dining room, and then moved into a workshop in the basement. As the business grew, (and my kids were ready to kill me with the flower mess all over the house🤣)…in 2019, I had a gorgeous post and beam shed built in the backyard by to store flowers and supplies, and create a beautiful, fun, friendly workspace…which doubles as a garage for my convertible off season 🤣
As an owner of a seasonal business on the Cape, the quiet winters were a blessing when I was raising kids, but now it’s just a little too quiet. As for the mom thing, college is done with one daughter, and another is engaged to be married. Sigh….my girls have since flown the coop, so we are now more selective with our wedding schedule, because I have found a way to keep pleasantly hands busy by freelance designing off-season, traveling and exploring this next chapter of my life.
However, I am so blessed to have had this awesome business that I love, with a 20-foot commute outside of my door…long before working from home was the cool thing to do 😉
Here’s to an amazing #2025 season! 🥂
