A New Year

Good morning and a good New Year to you!  It’s hard to believe another year has come and gone so quickly, though I suppose time passes much more quickly when you are wrapped up in the things you love.  2011 was an exciting year of growth for Ideas in Bloom… more weddings and special events than ever before, burgeoning friendships with new local vendors (don’t forget to check out some of our favorites in the sidebar!), and an incredible amount of support from our fan base.  Thank you!!!

As we enter 2012 there is a lot to look forward to.  Our concentration has begun to shift more heavily to the floral aspects of our services and the calendar has started to reflect that.  It started to fill up with weddings and events even before the holidays hit!  We look forward to integrating our unique garden-inspired style into many of these events, often in the form of live plantings.  I can’t wait to see all of these special events come to life.

The next year will certainly bring us as much personal joy as professional.  I look forward to meeting with and getting to know those newly engaged in the coming months and designing for as long as my ever-growing belly will allow.  Our first wedding of the year is in late February and you bet I’ll still be in the studio, likely propped up in a chair!  Though come March you’ll likely see a bit less of me as Chris and I welcome our little one.  However, this doesn’t mean that operations come to a halt.  The studio will continue to run as usual, and a voice not often heard from will be coming forth on the social media front to fill in as I step away.  That’s right, Pam’s New Years’ resolution is to become more integrated into our online presence.  The blog, Facebook, and *gasp* maybe even Twitter!

We look forward to everything this coming year has to offer and the people we will meet along the way.  New clients, talented vendors, and inevitably, new friends.  All welcome additions to the Ideas in Bloom extended family.

So here is to the New Year.  A year of growth and joy for all!
