One of the most common pieces of advice couples receive on their wedding day is to keep their bouquet cool and hydrated. However, many people are surprised to learn that a hotel kitchen or food fridge is not always the best place for wedding flowers.
Running a small business is one of the most rewarding things I have ever done, but lately I've been reflecting on something that I know many fellow business owners experience.
Occasionally I have to remove petals or blooms entirely because they begin reacting during the curing process. Many flowers have also been sprayed with pesticides, preservatives, or floral feeds before they even arrive to me especially as so many flowers are imported from places like the Netherlands. These extra chemicals can create reactions...
2026 very nearly became the year I quietly closed the door on this business… for the third time. At this stage, quitting and I are in a very on-off relationship.
So, where were we? Ah yes – bouquet number one. Let's talk about that little adventure.
