MILES RILEY HAS OFFICIALLY JOINED THE TEAM! Born 9.26.2024, he came a little late but he’s perfect in every way! Thanking and praising God for allowing a safe delivery and healthy baby boy! He’s the love of our lives and sooo precious!

Still technically out of office for the time being! I’ll slowly make my way back but for now I’m enjoying some sweet baby snuggles and recovery where we can! We can’t wait to watch him f.lori.sh! (Also a big thank you to Aunt Han for the photos! - you’re the best)

What do you need to know when inquiring?!? Let’s get you set up for success!!!! Answer below! 🤍
•
•
1. Budget! We know it’s tricky and your budget may even change as the wedding evolves! Be honest and realistic and if it grows we can always add on things later!
2. The vision! Colors, style, and general picture of how you see your day looking! Enjoy pinteresting ideas but remember the more flowers you see the more $$ it can cost! But we will help suggest and adjust according to your budget and wants!
3. General numbers! Rough table estimates, wedding party numbers, anything we need multiples of we need a loose idea of how many of what! Again we can always add on! This just gives us a jumping off point!
4. Photos! The more the better! It helps me see your vision without having to describe everything! There’s already a lot to communicate when planning a wedding! Sometimes photos can tell me more than any amount of words!
5. EXCITEMENT! Why?! BECAUSE YOU ARE FINALLY PLANNING YOUR WEDDING AND ITS THE BEST TIME! It’s a lot and scary sometimes feeling out of your element or knowing little about specific flowers but that’s my job to help fill the gaps and create magic! So let’s have fun and do this flower thing!

A moment for this classic fairytale of a wedding! 🤍🫶🏼We can’t argue that an all white wedding isn’t timeless and classy! A lot of people are starting to move away from this look and into some bold color schemes! Personally I love both and think we can make magic no matter the colors!

Are you a team all neutral or bring on the color?!

As our due date with baby f.lori.sh gets closer, I’m reminded at how blessed I am to serve all you brides out there! Even when I’m not feeling it, the love and joy you share with us boosts our moods like no other! Thank you so much for trusting .lori.sh to make your floral dreams happen! You guys are amazing and make me cry in the best possible way!

Here’s to gratitude and for our first weekend off since April! We are T I R E D but full of joy! ( PS PLEASE READ THE REMINDERS IN OUR STORY TO SEE WHEN WE ARE OFFICIALLY OUT OF OFFICE)

MEET PEPE!!! (that’s what we are calling him for now lol) Pepe wondered in our backyard last Friday and was startled to meet 5 other big dogs! He is looking for his forever home! He likes people, just a little nervous at first but warms up! Not the biggest fan of big dogs, but he loves peanut! He is a lap dog who loves a fuzzy blanket and never wants to move! We think he’s 5/6/7 but who knows! Male Chihuahua who just wants to nap peacefully and if you know our house it’s almost impossible without someone wanting to play! The shelter believes he was dumped so we aren’t sure what his previous life was like but if you’re looking for the chillest pup to hang with, you should meet this little ham!

Please share so we can find him a home!

YEAR 4 WITH MR. F.LORI.SH!!!! Happy anniversary my heart! 💗 We pretty much exclusively work through our anniversary every year (because wedding season) but this man always selflessly serves along side me with no complaints and makes this whole operation possible. But this is why we do it! We know the value of marriage! We know that it’s more than a wedding, it’s the start of your life! So here is 4 things I would have told myself on this day 4 years ago!…
1. Things are going to fall apart and go wrong today, but it doesn’t matter because the man you’re marrying will spend every day making sure you wake up feeling loved, supported, cared for, and that’s more than enough! (If you haven’t heard all our wedding day mishaps I promise it’ll make you feel so much better lol)
2. Enjoy the slow moments! So often we want to go so fast but now looking at all the pictures it’s crazy to think we are having a baby, bought a house, run a fun business, and so much more in such a short time! Pause and remember to just enjoy the little moments you’re in!
3. Never stop having fun! There is no one in life I can have more fun with than ! So often we find ourselves in what could be tense situation and somehow we come out laughing, singing, and dancing! Don’t take life too seriously! It’s short, it’s CHAOS, it’s nothing you can control! We are a team! So whatever problem hits I know we got this!
4. WITHOUT JESUS NONE OF THIS WOULD BE POSSIBLE! Sure would we be married and surviving? Maybe honest probably not tho since we met on a church choir / mission trip !! But seriously, to know Jesus is to know grace and forgiveness. I look at our marriage and see nothing but grace and mercy sprinkled in as we navigate two personalities from different homes and families trying to live under one roof! So often we rush to win or to prove our point but Jesus reminds us to be equal partners in this journey, lean into the rolls and talents he gave us, share in life’s ups and downs, and to love unconditionally and FORGIVE always!

If you made it this far, I hope you take a moment and think about the blessing your marriage or upcoming marriage truly is🤍 (ps I love you )

We believe that having Jesus as the center of your marriage can really change the entire course of two people’s lives! Two equal partners working together with the gifts + strengths + specialized roles God created us for! It’s putting aside our own selfish wants and desires, pushing past pride, and learning to respect and encourage one another to f.lori.sh in Gods plan!
•
•
Life is hard, but doing it together with a focus greater than anything this earth has to offer makes it all worth it!
•

Also love the white cross that we now have in our inventory in case you were wondering(;

Who you surround yourself with matters! My favorite story that embodies friendship in the Bible is in Mark 2 and Luke 5: basically one of the friends was paralyzed and they had heard of Jesus healing people but when they got to where Jesus was in this house it was so crowded there was no way they would squeeze in with their friend on a mat… they could have walked away and no hard feelings. I know I feel that way asking for help sometimes, but these men didn’t give up. Instead they made a way and lowered their friend from the roof to in front of Jesus and Jesus healed him because of their faith!!! Funny enough this upset the religious leaders, but without those friends that man would have lived out the rest of his days paralyzed soooo…..!!! I hope you have those people that when you can’t go any further, they bring you back to Jesus. I hope you are that friend to those around you! Life is HARD and we all need a little help sometimes! So surround yourself with those speak life, carry you when you’re broken, don’t what it takes to help no matter what it looks like to outsiders, meet needs when you can’t! True community is beautiful 🫶🏼🤍🥹

NEW F.LORI.SH MEMBER COMING SOON! And it’s not another dog! We’ve been a little slower these days but we are stoked to have a little flower friend joining our family this fall!

Sorry to those who follow me personally as well getting this twice!

Gods goodness and faithfulness in this season has been more than evident! Our prayer for our brides is…

🤍 a strong and healthy marriage rooted in Gods love and grace
🤍 flowing communication - slow to speak and quick to forgive
🤍 surrounded by community & find a church home together
🤍 many years together full of life, love, and laughter
🤍 and so much more!

Apart from Christ, life feels overwhelming! Especially in the world we live in! So the best advice we can give you, get planted and spend time in Gods word together! Pray together! Your husband or wife is your biggest warrior!

Here’s to f.lori.shing marriages rooted in Christ!

Just something light and happy to brighten up your Thursday!!! 🤍 I’m seriously loving this weather lately because it makes me excited to see all the pretty flowers on the side of the road again!
•
•
All the flowers truly just remind me of how amazing our God is! He chose to make beauty for us to enjoy and for that I’m thankful! A world without sunsets, mountains, beaches, rainbows, puppies, and flowers would be SAD!

It may be frozen out but mentally I’m here at this summer wedding!!! So excited for all the fun color pallets our 2024 brides are bringing! 🤍🤍🤍

2024 is filling up fast! If you’re thinking about using us, head to the website linked in our bio and fill out an inquiry!

SO MUCH TO BE THANKFUL FOR! If you know me, I am terrible at posting and responding. So I’m extra thankful for all the people around me who have patience in my business and allow me to still enjoy all the blessings life throws our way!

This last year has been a lot of growth, learning points, and exhaustion! It’s been such a DREAM being a part of so many days and I wouldn’t trade any of it for the world… but same time I miss having a personal life! I work out of my home so it’s constant flowers in the home with maybe 1 day of recovery followed by the next! We worked from September- 2nd week of November with no breaks (meaning every day of the week I was working either physically on flowers or on my computer putting in orders, quotes, meetings, or all the other fun things I get to do) and I tell myself all the time and other day it too - I need to slow down.

So next year we are taking on a little less and finding a balance to be with friends and family! To give our brides a better version of what we can do and how we can serve like Jesus!!! Life is so short we don’t want to work it away! And also want to do it all as best we can for Jesus!

With that said we are still booking 2024 but will have limited availability in order to give YOU THE BRIDE the best of .lori.sh 🤍 if you’ve already reached out and are waiting to hear back, we are getting back to you all soon!!! Can’t wait to soak up all this holiday season has to bring and jump into the new year refreshed for our 2024 brides!

PLEASE KEEP THE HAPPY COLORS COMING!!! 🌼🌸🌼 After having a few years of neutral color schemes, these bright colors are like sunshine! - says the most neutral colored person ever! Trust me I get the fear of color but there is something magical when you go bold!
•
•
Sunshine vibes for a sunshine bride! was all literally beaming before walking down the aisle to marry Jack!
•
•
Also this vendor team was KILLERRRRR! Check those tags for some incredible people!

My house has been looking like the rainbow lately with all these colorful weddings, which I like to believe is a reminder of God’s faithfulness and love! After the flood always comes the rainbow! 2023 has been our busiest year to date, which comes with growing pains and challenges BUT the overwhelming blessings that keep pouring in are never ending! Can’t wait to share what MIND BLOWING BLESSING happened literally today!! So stay tuned to see how amazing God is and how his timing is far better than ours!

This is why we love what we do, marriage! A relationship with your best friend, committing not to perfection but to progress + grace! We have learned so much in only 3 years, it feels like 25, but finding the right person is beautiful! Be each others cheerleaders, confidant, and love with no end! Praying for all our brides marriages to be filled with joy + grace + love for all the years to come!

Our lead coordinator made a space to document all the wonderful couples she works with + share wedding tips with! Like her on Facebook and follow on instagram to see this part of the business F.LORI.SH!!! 🤍

A glimpse at the real reason we do what we do here: MARRIAGE!

Weddings are FUN! Many dream of this day for year! Pinterest boards have been in the works for longer than we can remember, and it is so easy to get caught up in the planning that we forget the whole purpose! MARRIAGE!

Here at f.lori.sh we pray for each one of you to have a marriage that stands the tests of life. We pray for healthy communication and so many laughs! We pray each one of these marriages is protected and unbreakable! We know life is never easy! We know you will face trials of all kinds, but we pray for two people to love each other and serve each other and the Lord always!

Take a moment and just soak it in! After the wedding comes the marriage, protect it and cherish it! It is a one of a kind relationship, a partnership! Two people choosing each other each and every day! Pretty crazy stuff! Don’t be so consumed by the wedding day details that you forget how beautiful this covenant is!

Thankful Iveth + Trevor let us into see the start of such a beautiful marriage! Can’t wait to see where the Lord leads you guys!

This months word for .lori.sh is JOY! Really focusing on finding joy in all the stress and chaos that comes with weddings + life! It’s easy to get caught up in the little things and the daily negatives when things don’t go as planned, but through it all, count it all as joy my friends!

No matter where you are in this season of life whether it be working a tough job, finishing school, juggling being a mom, a wife, a fiancé, going through loss or a long waiting period for answers that never seem to come, just know Jesus sees you and loves you so dearly. In it all, good or bad, we are given a set amount of time on this earth and we get to choose what we do with it! Choosing joy despite what’s going on around us is not easy but I will say on the other side it’s REFRESHING!
•
•
Praying for joy in all circumstances for all my brides, vendor friends, and couples out there! Join me in reading James 1:2-18 if you’re interested in seeking joy with me!🤍

I AM ALIVE I PROMISE!!!! It has been such a crazy holiday season with so many wonderful and unexpected things happening! BUT TAKE A MOMENT TO APPRECIATE HOW CUTE SARAH + HER GALS ARE!!!!🤍🤍🤍
