2024 was a year of growth for me, both personally and professionally. As my business expanded, it naturally took more time away from my creative process, but it was so rewarding. I experimented with different flower varieties—some I won’t be growing again, while others will definitely make a return!
One of the highlights of last year was crafting dried flower buttonholes. I created so many of them, and it was such a joy. Buttonholes have always been one of my favorite items to design. My second most requested piece was floral headbands. I absolutely love making these, especially when I get to see the beautiful professional photos of them being worn—it’s such a heartwarming feeling.
My summer months were filled with weddings, as I had the honor of helping so many wonderful couples choose natural dried flowers for their big day. Thank you to each and every one of you for entrusting me with such an important part of your celebration.
Autumn brought a wave of orders for gift bouquets, bespoke wall swags, and gorgeous wreaths. Wreaths were such a hit that I’m planning to make even more leading up to Mother’s Day—there’s just something so special about them.
Christmas was all about fresh wreaths, a tradition I’ve been perfecting for over 25 years! Creating them was a joy, but I’ve decided this year will be my last for making them. I want to focus more on dried flowers and use the festive season to prepare for the year ahead. While I’m saying goodbye to fresh wreaths, I’m deeply grateful for every customer who’s bought one from me over the years.
Now, as we move into a new year, I’m excited for all the flowery fun ahead!
