It'd be great if we could #twin all the time, but I'm Mrs. black on black, and Stella is all color.
The day before school started, we went back-to-school shopping, and I taught Stella how to do a capsule wardrobe. I explained how, when you stick to a color palette, all your clothes can go together. That way, when we travel, it's super simple to throw some clothes in our Away luggage and head out.

This was one of my favorite weddings to date. I flew out a bunch of Bloomers (people who have taken my course The Business Behind the Blooms) to help me with the setup.
The venue was overflowing with the most beautiful floral elements you could imagine. This arch installation, a staircase installation, low centerpieces, high centerpieces, soft seating arrangements and more.
Read MoreI got to sit down with Mary Baird-Wilcock on her show, The Simplifiers Podcast.
As a former wedding planner herself, Mary was the perfect person to ask me about how to simplify the process of starting a floral design business.
Mary and I talk all about the one simple question you need to ask yourself as you’re starting your floral business, streamlining processes, hiring teams, pricing for setup and delivery, and so much more!
