There are weddings I’m proud of because of the flowers… and then there are weddings that remind me why I wanted to build this business in the first place.
Jackie’s was both. 🤍

I’ve known Jackie as a client for years.

Long before there was a wedding date on my calendar, there were Christmases. Every year, Jackie would bring me her Christmas container and I’d refill it for the season.

We built a relationship in the most ordinary way.

A Christmas container.
A conversation at the shop.
Another year. Another arrangement.
And slowly, trust.

Then one day, I wasn’t talking to Jackie about her Christmas greens anymore.

We were talking about her wedding flowers. 🥹

And Jackie had a VISION.

Moody purples. Lavender. Soft Ocean Song roses. Hydrangeas. Lisianthus. Dahlias. Layers of texture and movement. Romantic, garden-inspired flowers that felt abundant without feeling overly perfect.

Then came the part nobody sees.

The ordering. The processing. The buckets taking over the shop. The ladder becoming a support system because I had packed so many flowers into my van. 😂 The early start because Aldergrove Cruise-In was happening that weekend and approximately 80,000 people were descending on our little town.

And eventually… all of those moving pieces became her wedding.

But my favourite part wasn't the arch.

It wasn't the centrepieces.

It wasn't even seeing the entire space finished.

It was handing Jackie her bouquet.

Because for a few seconds, I got to watch someone who had supported my little flower business for years see her bridal bouquet for the first time.

Her reaction absolutely melted me.

I’ve designed a lot of wedding flowers in 2026. I've had some very long days and some moments where I've wondered how on earth I'm going to get everything done.

And somehow, that one reaction made my entire wedding season.

It reminded me that this business has never really been about selling flowers.

It's about being invited into people's lives.

Sometimes I meet you when you need a birthday bouquet.

Sometimes it's a Christmas container I refill every December.

And sometimes, years later, I get to make the flowers you carry down the aisle. 💕

I wrote this for the women in my community… but if I’m being completely transparent, I think I needed to hear it too.

Between running a business, navigating my hormonal health, helping my mom, being a loving partner to my boyfriend, trying to make it to the gym, maintain friendships, keep a house together and somehow remember the other 1,000 things flying at me…

I get overwhelmed.

And when I get overwhelmed, I have this terrible habit of moving straight from one thing to the next without actually enjoying any of it.

Last Friday I caught myself doing exactly that.

The phone was ringing. Orders were going out the door. I was designing, answering messages and thinking about whether I had ordered enough flowers for the following week.

And I sat with myself for a second and thought:

“I dreamed of being this busy for years.”

Oof.

Because I did.

There were years when I wished the phone would ring more.

I wished more arrangements were going out the door.

I wished I had enough orders to worry about whether I had bought enough flowers.

I wanted a business that needed me.

I wanted a full life.

And somewhere along the way, some of the things I once prayed, worked and hoped for became another item on my to-do list.

I don’t think I’m the only woman who does this.

We work so hard to create these lives — careers, businesses, relationships, families, homes, healthy bodies, friendships — and then get so busy maintaining them that we forget to look around and realize we’re standing inside parts of the life we once dreamed about.

That doesn’t mean it isn’t hard.

It doesn’t mean we have to be grateful every second.

It just means sometimes we need to look up.

So this Girl Code Reminder is for you, but it’s also for me:

Don’t get so busy building your beautiful life that you forget to live it. 🌸

And to every boss babe out there making it happen — I see you. We’re doing better than we think.

I’ve been thinking a lot about Thanksgiving this year… and I’m doing things very differently.

Running a small business in BC right now feels different.

Everything costs more. People are watching what they spend. I’m watching flower shops and independent retailers close their doors left, right and centre.

And I’d be lying if I said that doesn’t scare me.

Styled by Wild isn’t somehow immune. If I’m not careful about what I buy, what I invest in and what I assume people will spend, that could be my business too.

This isn’t the time for me to take big risks just because something would look beautiful on Instagram.

So I went back and looked at our Q4 numbers from last year — and Thanksgiving surprised me.

The elaborate centrepieces I thought everyone would love?

Slow.

Our Pumpkin Spice arrangements I thought were SO cute?

Slow.

The expensive vessels and premium blooms?

Also slow.

And that forced me to admit something:

Just because I think something is beautiful doesn’t mean it’s a good product for my customer.

Because I also know what DOES walk out our door.

Mums. Carnations. Seasonal fillers. Simple hand-tied bouquets. Flowers you can grab on your way to Thanksgiving dinner without having to think twice about the price.

And maybe right now, being a good florist means paying attention to that.

I don’t want to spend Thanksgiving trying to convince you that you need a $150 centrepiece.

I want to create beautiful flowers that make sense for how people are actually living right now.

Approachable. Generous. Simple.

Something you can bring to your mom, your neighbour, your Thanksgiving host or put on your own table without flowers becoming another big expense.

So I have a plan for Thanksgiving 2026.

I’m buying differently.

I’m designing differently.

I’m taking everything you’ve taught me over the last five Thanksgivings and actually listening.

And what we’re doing this year is something you have NEVER seen from Styled by Wild before.

A little reintroduction… but let’s start at the beginning. 🌸

For everyone who has found Styled by Wild somewhere along the way:

🌲 I grew up on Vancouver Island, homeschooled until 13, with a childhood full of nature, exploring, foraging & creating. The “wild” was there long before the flowers.

💼 I spent years in hospitality, catering, events & management, helping with major casino openings & working in the Sandman/Moxie’s world. I learned how to lead, execute events & care for people.

🌎 Then 2020 happened. I was laid off from my corporate career.

🌸 I went back to school at UFV for Floral Design, learning a new craft & wondering if I could turn creativity into a career.

✂️ Styled by Wild started SMALL — a carport, a tent, thrifted mugs & vases, foraged greenery & whatever I could get my hands on.

🎄 Some of my first creations were Whoville Trees in 2020.

🎓 In 2021, I graduated from UFV & this little idea started feeling like something I could actually build.

💐 From 2021–2023, I popped up at the Aldergrove General Store on Fraser Highway, showing up wherever I could & slowly building a name in Aldergrove.

🚗 Behind the pretty flowers? Emails from my car, hauling buckets, building things myself, sourcing flowers, designing, delivering & learning how to run a business WHILE running it.

🔑 In 2025, I took another huge leap & moved Styled by Wild into the Aldergrove town core. More overhead. More responsibility. A whole new chapter.

🌸 Today, Styled by Wild Floral serves Aldergrove, Langley, Abbotsford & the Fraser Valley with everyday flowers, sympathy, corporate florals, workshops, events & weddings.

❤️ And somehow, the heart of it hasn’t changed. I still get my hands dirty. I still forage. I still build things. I still obsess over a colour until it’s right. And I still want to know the people I create for.

✨ Through every version of this business, the mission has stayed the same: Uplift, Inspire & Create a Beautiful World.

What a wild little journey. 🌸

If you’ve been here for any part of it — thank you. There’s still SO much I want to create.
