itβs been one year since I made the bouquet that changed everything π§Έβ¦
I had been watching Jemma Jukes | Floristry Educator π« for a few weeks by this point and literally obsessing over all of her work, dreaming of creating something like she could, just feeling overwhelmingly inspired by her π©·
I took my first trip to the wholesaler with my sister, chose anything pink π€£ I didnβt really know what I was doing but I was determined to make something of this and really believed I could do it. I was massively humbled by the actual mechanics to making a bouquet, it looked so easy from the outside π the wrapping was another story, I think I spent about 4 hours just trying to fold everything perfectly π€£
Ultimately the result wasnβt amazing, in fact far from it π but what mattered to me was the interest, the energy I had when making it and the pure ambition that I wanted to do this and I would do everything possible to make it happen π«ΆπΌ
This bouquet definitely lit the flame to go for it and thatβs why itβs special to me π₯°
Shortly after I chose to book on to a class with Jemma Jukes | Floristry Educator π« . the best decision of my life! π©·
Weβre 9 months into HallesBlooms now. Still so much learning to go! ππΌ - p.s itβs definitely not easy, comes with a lot of sleepless nights and sometimes incredibly long hours, back pain π€£ and second guessing of myself, but itβs all part of the process π«ΆπΌπ
