Flower Preservation

💫 Never stop chasing your dream, to make it your reality. I know it sounds cliche, but cliches are truth! A little back story on me and how I got here! I’ve always been creative- growing up in dance. Opting for an office job was not an option! I completed TAFE cert III in floristry back in 2018-19 after leaving school. I’ve always had such a passion for flowers, growing up gardening, and going on bush walks. Finding flowers in the wild is like a treasure hunt! Aussie natives have my heart. 🥰 I started selling my flowers after the tafe week to friends and family to help pay my way. It then naturally turned into them asking for flowers for events/ weddings ect. I could run wild with my creativity, and that’s how the business was born. I’ve worked in cafe jobs part time, cleaned houses, worked in other local florists all at once - all whilst creating my dream from scratch on the side, all hours of the day. Some days been over 12hrs + long. I’ve been through all the years of lockdowns, saying yes to everything and anything, and working for nothing. Learning business, and doing all aspects of the business via research + time (admin, deliveries, flower pick up’s, creating, accounting, social media, website ect) 😅 Preservation came about after I flowered my brother’s wedding, not wanting the arbour to go to waste I experimented with the flowers and created my first pressed piece back in 2021, as a surprise gift. After a few more weddings I flowered, preserving their bouquets as well- that’s when I fell into my calling. A preservation artist. 🥰 Many years of trial and error, here we are! 🕺 I’ve had so many people tell me that I could never make this my full time reality - ‘there’s no money in flowers, just get a full time job like everyone else’. Giving up never felt like an option.💥 After 8, and a bit long years, I quit my cafe job in Feb and haven’t looked back since! This is now my full time reality and I’m so beyond blessed. NEVER stop chasing, no matter how hard it gets 🥰💖 #flower #florist #mystory #behindthebusiness #artist #preservationartist #flowerpreservation #dream #reality #nevergiveup #newcastle #bouquetpreservation #wedding
