Floral community. It truly is a beautiful concept - even more so when you get to see it lived out or be a part of loving on other flower professionals.

In August, ten sweet women from various locations, backgrounds, and careers became flower friends at the Team Flower Wedding Florals Workshop. Maybe it was the refreshing North Carolina mountainous atmosphere, or perhaps it was the power of flowers in bringing people together, or maybe it was their welcoming and open hearts. Honestly, it was probably all of the above - the perfect storm - and we watched in awe as these women not only received but also poured out. They came to one another’s aid when needed, offering advice with humility. They celebrated with each other when one overcame an obstacle, and they cheered one another on as they created one arrangement after another.

That is what it’s about, friends. Flowers are powerful. They bring people together and offer a commonplace for recognition of beauty - both in the creation and the created. We hope you’re inspired by the kindness and care you can so easily see in the arrangements of these lovely ladies.
