LaParis Phillips | Brian W. Fraser Photography | for Madewell

Today we’re visiting with LaParis Phillips, owner of Brooklyn Blooms in Brooklyn, New York, to chat about:

• her early days learning floristry in a Missouri flower shop
• following her dream of living in NYC
• marrying her love of flowers and fashion to create a business that is a unique reflection of her
• the journey that led to her owning 2 flower shops in NYC by the age of 32
• the motivating power of the words: “you never know…”
• finding the resources she needs to run a business
• her organic progression towards becoming a flower influencer
• her thoughts on pricing for brand collaborations
• her flower dream (hint: think jungle flowers)
• breaking barriers and covering new ground (ever heard of a florist with a mix tape?)
• her thoughts on the barriers to accessibility in the floral industry
• the importance of leaving a legacy and how she’s going about it day by day
