An Oxford Floral Company Designer's Dream Wedding - HottyToddy.com

Between Clark and I, I’m the only one with a living grandparent. So, having that in my bouquet all day made it special.”How did you pick “the dress?”“I went to Lows in Brinkley, Arkansas with my sister, mom, step mom and friend, Jessica. I had tried on about 20 dresses and found one that was in my “budget and fit.” My sister, manager of a bridal store, hated it! She decided she wanted to go pick out my dress herself. Twenty minutes later she returned with two sales associates, an arm full of dresses, and a full size mannequin off of the display with a dress on it. Eventually, I got around to trying on the mannequin dress and instantly fell in love. On one hand, it was way over my budget, on the other hand, I had to have it, it was… “the dress.” I began thinking of payment plans and telling my step-mother, “hold on- let me call the bank and see what I can pay now and how I can work this out.” As if the bank would give me a loan for the dress of my dreams. Thats when my step-mother looked at the sales associate and said the three golden words, “we’ll take it.” Needless to say, we did not take out a dress loan, I left that day with the dress paid for and it arrived six weeks later.”How did the two of you meet?“We knew each other in High School but we weren’t friends. When I moved home from the University of Alabama I went to work at a flower shop Clark was working at. We we’re friends at first and started dating about 3 months after I started working there.What is your proposal story?“We went to Nashville for the Ole Miss bowl game and stayed for New Year’s Eve downtown. It was cold and miserable and I wanted to leave, but Clark insisted on staying for the fireworks. When midnight rolled around, I felt someone tap my shoulder and that’s when Clark asked me to marry him and I said yes!”What inspired your color scheme/theme/flowers?“Being a floral designer I see weddings and flowers of all types. My biggest thing was wanting everything different. I wanted a different venue, different dress, different flower concepts. I always knew where I wanted my wedding and reception.”What were you looking forward to the most about the wedding and married life?“The one think I looked forward to at my ... http://hottytoddy.com/2015/06/26/an-oxford-floral-company-designers-dream-wedding/

Florist Starts ‘Flowers for Black Men' After George Floyd's Death, Sharing Random Kindness - NBC Southern California

She got even more famous after appearing on the HBO show "Insecure." All because, she says, she wanted to stay true to who she is, and where she lives."When you see a florist that looks like you and represents you I think that representation is so important," Brown said. After working in digital marketing, Brown decided it wasn’t for her. She wanted to get out of the office. She wanted to do something with her hands. Then came the idea of flowers.Her popularity grew as she posted with her flowers at familiar local spots. Soon, she was doing pop ups at places like Hilltop Coffee.Last summer, she took it a step further. Realizing that the killing of George Floyd and the protests that erupted had particular resonance for one group of people. So she started “flowers for Black men,” encouraging friends and followers to send bouquets to many who weren’t expecting them."And they automatically assumed I got the wrong address or it was for their wife or something like that and I said, 'Oh no this is for you." And they’re like, 'me? What?'" she said. As the world watched the breach of the U.S. Capitol in shock, many couldn’t help but wonder why the underwhelming police response to President Trump’s rioting supporters was so different from the massive show of force seen this summer at a Washington D.C. Black Lives Matter protest following the death of George Floyd.
