Today we’re visiting with Melissa Sullivan, owner of Le Bloomerie in Los Gatos, California. Melissa jumped into the floral profession with enthusiasm after a career in healthcare. She believes in dreaming big and tuning out any negativity as she pursues her dreams. Join us as we talk about:
- Her thoughts on creating, paying for, and collaborating with other vendors for editorial work
- The role editorial work plays in the Le Bloomerie business model
- Why she believes it’s imperative that floral artists not get caught up in “the comings and goings of small circles” if they want to realize big dreams
- Finding ways to include family in her business model
- Dreaming big and surrounding herself with good people
- Building her own mechanics
- Why she feels she has to limit the number of weddings she accepts each month
- Why she loves buying from local flower farms
“Have a worldwide view. Try not to get caught up in the comings and goings in the small circles. The world is big and your work has yet to be discovered in Europe, Africa, Asia. Dream big and then even bigger.”
