La Flora Floristry Wedding Florest

Location: Albuquerque, NM

December 2019. Floristry found me three years ago when a good friend gifted me a certificate for a Christmas arrangement class. At the end of the class the instructor saw my finished design and asked if I wanted to learn more about flowers on the side, she could use the help with her business. I said yes and helped her when I could. I continued to make floral arrangements for my friends – their birthday dinners, brunches, baby showers, and holiday dinner parties. November 2021. Then the pandemic was here. A friend who now lives out of state reached out. She asked if I could make and deliver a floral arrangement for a dear friend

who had been impacted by COVID – as flower shops were deemed non-essential business, they remained closed. I over-ordered flowers and sold out. January 2021. One of my best friends became engaged one snowy day at Ski Santa Fe. She soon asked if I would do the flowers for her wedding. I said yes. Valentine’s Day 2021. LaFlora Floristry’s official launch. We sold out of 58 bouquets and 14 wreaths. LaFlora is the indirect result of friends. There is so much beauty within discovering and becoming. In 2022, we’ll be bold. Be unconventional. Be authentic. Be kind. Be willing to learn. The future blooms from the seeds you plant today.
