Pampas & Petals started in 2021, shortly before I became pregnant with my daughter. It grew just as quickly as my belly bump did. Lol. I left my full time career back in 2023 to pursue this floral dream because it was just absolutely exploding and I couldn’t keep up with it all. The wedding industry was booming and I had a wedding almost every weekend, sometimes multiple. I’ve always had the entrepreneur mindset in me and knew I wanted to always be my own boss. I had saved up, got all my ducks in a row and was ready to take the leap. Then the economy happened. We all felt it, whether you owned a business or not. Couples weren’t booking, weddings got smaller, and budgets got tighter. Unfortunately, flowers are at the top of the DIY list when it comes to weddings. Then more and more fresh florists started offering rental options like myself as well.
Since I took this leap of faith, I started a clothing boutique, my husband joined the military and my daughter has become my world. At the beginning of February, I decided I was heading back to work. I knew this was the right choice for my family. So now I am owning and operating a floral business, a clothing boutique, working full time, maintaining a home that requires me to be a full time mom and wife, keeping up with friendships and simply trying to survive. Because if this, I have decided to take a break from wedding florals in this season of life. Any of my current brides (I have already reached out to you), but just to reiterate, you are 100% still on my books and I am SO excited for your big days.
I have met SO many wonderful brides/couples, vendors and friends within this job, and I am forever thankful. Thank you for some really great memories! It was also really hard to choose only 10 pictures. 🥲
NOTE: I will still accept smaller jobs like mini sessions for photogs, wedding/baby showers, small events, etc.
