When you think about owning a floral business, most of the occasions that come to mind are celebrationsābirthdays, weddings, anniversaries, Valentineās Day.
But flowers also become part of some of lifeās hardest moments.
When good friends asked me to create the florals for Bobās celebration of life, there was only one answer: yes.
I learned a few things about Bob through the years. He was a man of few words, he LOVED his family first and foremost, he served our country, enjoyed the outdoors - especially doing things like taking his grandson fishing and he drove a red moped that put a smile on your face every time he came down the street.
What I didnāt know was his love for art, creativity and just how talented he was.
Bob was an incredible artist who created as a hobby. His works are so diverse but the through line I saw was nature, coastlines, animals and all things wild and free.
We leaned into a classic Salty Daisy palette with airy blooms, soft blues, fresh greens, and natural movement, hoping the arrangements would feel a little like one of Bobās paintings had come to life and bring a smile to the faces of friends and family.
Creating flowers for someoneās final farewell is one of the greatest honors and carries a different weight.
Bob leaves behind a beautiful family and so many people who loved him. I hope these flowers honored not only his life, but the beauty he found in the world around him.
Sending so much love to all of you. š¤
