If you looked up the phrase “opposites attract,” this could be the poster for it. Me and Crystal from Southern Posies .
She's sweet, girly, and loves to hug everybody. Me? Well, if you know, you know. 😂
Crystal and I met at a wedding show years ago, and although we were "technically" competitors, we became friends.
Fast forward to 2020. COVID hit, and as much as we're different, we do share some similarities. We have to be doing something, and we're both slightly (OK, annoyingly) detail-obsessed.
Since events couldn't happen and we can't sit still...let's pivot. We decided to start teaching people about flowers, and Basics to Blooms was born.
Fast forward to this past Saturday. A hurricane had turned what was going to be the most amazing event into wedding ground zero. Not exactly what anybody had planned.
BUT......WE GOT THIS! LET'S PIVOT!
Crystal called in the cavalry...family, groomsmen, neighbors, AMAZING vendors from all over the state, and together what seemed doomed turned into something pretty incredible.
I guess we didn't realize back in 2020 that we were practicing for the pivot of the century.
I cannot wait to share pictures of this event. Not so anyone can brag or say, "Look at me," but as a testament to what this industry is capable of when we all work together.
Whether you're the owner of a company or the kid who got dragged out of bed to come help, every single person mattered. ❤️
