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
