Apparently Gen X founders are having a moment. And I have to admit, I LOVE THAT FOR US!
There’s something refreshing about seeing a growing appreciation for experience, perspective, and the kind of confidence that comes from years of doing the work!
We built businesses before Instagram, developed our craft before Pinterest, and learned that beautiful design requires more than a little inspiration.
After 30 plus years in the wedding industry, I’ve watched trends come and go, see the industry evolve, and learned a thing or two along the way.
And you know what? I still absolutely love what I do!
The flowers, the creative process, the relationships, that moment couples walk into their reception space for the very first time.
But what I appreciate most these days is the confidence that comes with the experience.
Knowing when to say yes. When to suggest something different. Understanding scale, proportion, and the little details that make an extraordinary difference. And knowing that sometimes the most beautiful decision is when to hold back.
Because the longer I do this, the more I realize that couples aren’t simply looking for beautiful flowers - they are looking for someone they can trust. Someone who understands their vision, anticipates what they haven’t thought of, and knows how to bring it all together beautifully.
Perhaps that’s why Gen X founders are finding their influence.
We’re not necessarily here to tell you what’s trending.
We’re here to share what we’ve learned, what we love and why somethings will never go out of style.
Because beautiful weddings aren’t measured in likes and saves. They’re remembered in moments, emotions, and the way they made you feel.
Perhaps that’s the kind of influence worth having.

Yes!!! Exactly how I feel. There is something to be said about experience and my couples seem to be loving it!

This really resonates. There’s something to be said for experience, trusting your eye, and knowing that not every trend needs to be followed. The confidence that comes from years of doing the work is invaluable. I feel like I don’t have the words and then it’s just in my bones instinctually - having someone I mentor reminds me of this and what make hiring someone with experience with it
