Almost in full bloom 🌸
I’ve been keeping something quiet.
If you’ve seen me in person recently, this won’t come as much of a surprise, but I wanted to share it properly with everyone on here.
I’m 40 weeks pregnant and baby is due any day 🤍 Whilst this pregnancy has been an absolute dream and I’ve been so well throughout, allowing me to carry on working as normal. A chest infection has caused me to hang up my apron a little sooner than I was anticipating and I started slowing things down a couple of weeks ago.
The last 14 months of The Velvet Stem have been one of the most rewarding chapters of my life. Building a business that I’m so passionate about, meeting so many amazing people and being supported by such a lovely community has been more than I could have imagined.
And now, just as that chapter has grown into something I’m incredibly proud of, I’m about to begin another one and become a mother.
I’m already missing my flowers, but I’m really looking forward to this next chapter and sharing a little bit of it with you all. I’m hoping to be back making beautiful arrangements sooner rather than later as it makes me so happy, but this time with an apprentice by my side.
For any couples and clients with upcoming bookings, please don’t worry. The Velvet Stem isn’t going anywhere, and all pre-booked weddings, events and commitments will be going ahead exactly as planned.
For now, we’re just waiting to meet our little one 🤍
