Who are you?

 
 

How would you describe your style?

  • Romantic. Whimsical. Lovely. My creative path has been non-linear. I’ve had so many different paths, all a bit unconventional yet my style has always been modern yet whimsical. I like to think of each bouquet or arrangement as a way to express myself, like any other artist. I want to bring a distinct edge to Fort Smith, Arkansas and I believe I am doing that with my style.

 

 
Do you have a mission statement?
  • Raindrop strives to make the better place by creating lush and beautiful arrangements for all of life’s wonderful celebrations. We believe in treating each other with kindness while creating art with flowers.

What do you hope to accomplish for your clients? 
  • I pride myself in custom designs that carefully consider each client’s vision. From even the smallest order of a bouquet to a large scale wedding, I want each person to be able to smile and have happiness and excitement enter them,  just as flowers have done for me my whole life. 

     

What do you think is the most important thing to accomplish for a wedding?
  • Besides the groom, I believe that the bride’s choice of flowers are the sweetest and most romantic decision she can make for her day. Raindrop strives to bring the couple’s vision to fruition and bring a tear to the eye when seeing what we’ve created for big day!

What is your favorite part of what you do?
  • People’s reactions. Smelling and touching the flowers. This industry is a tough one, but also a healing one. It all helps me during my own personal journal and mental health. I have the sweetest clients and it makes it worth any long day or aching back to see them smile and love it so much that they share it on their Instagram or Facebook. Also, I also love collaborating with Anne Marie Photography for styled shoots. I love doing installs and I think that is where I really shine. She is so creative and good at what she does. It’s like we feed off of each other’s ideas and energies and it always turns out so lovely.

What challenges have you had to overcome in the pandemic?
  • I started my business in June of 2020, in the midst of  the pandemic. I am quite proud of that. The challenges include transportation issues and stock shortages. On the other hand, I really believe that during the pandemic people have realized how much flowers can mean to each other. Starting Raindrop during such a challenging time has helped me as a florist because I have learned how to handle a lot of stress and be flexible so that I can give my clients what looks best. 

      

What do you think any future clients would want to know about you?
  • I believe that knowing the passion I have for flowers is an important thing to know about me and my company. Raindrop has helped me during a bout of depression and anxiety and I believe that passion translates into my work. It is my true creative outlet. I owe my love of flowers to my mom. Every flower  will always remind me of her. So to answer the question- passion. That’s what I’d like them to know about me.
