I am going to start this blog about Rakayla and Evan’s wedding with the end first. As a general business practice, I do floral debriefs after a wedding is over to get my couples’ thoughts on their flowers and the overall floral experience. This enables me to improve my business moving forward,  but it also...

Back in February (which seems like a lifetime ago now!) I was part of the Private Registry Event at Crate&Barrel in Seattle at University Village. This event was an invitation-only event for engaged couples to set up their wedding registry at Crate&Barrel. The perks to being invited to this event were being able to register...

At first I was primarily focused on figuring out all the legalities with running a business. While the business name was important, I initially didn’t give it that much thought.
