2018 Wrap Up

We finally got the time to rest a little after Christmas so we asked on our Instagram what should our next blog post be, and majority of you guys voted for a 2018 Wrap Up!

Here's some of our highlights of 2018!

Starting out:

2018 was a year of many firsts for us, and we started out (unofficially) at the start of the year - Valentine's Day, to be exact.

Prior to that we were merely making bouquets for friends at a small fee (or sometimes none) whenever they had events to attend and wanted a small bouquet.

(Thank you to our friends who've always supported us!!)

When Valentine's Day approached, we took flower orders from some of our friends (and friends of our friends). Even though it was Valentine's Day, we didn't impose a surcharge and sold the bouquets at really low prices. Not only did we not earn anything from this event, we ended up receiving more orders than we had expected (we even had a guy come up to us and asked where we got our bouquets from!) and had to work all night to finish our orders! Not to mention, it was Chinese New Year after so we couldn't get any rest till then.

Our official launch:

After months of preparation - from designing our website, our logo, our name, fine tuning other logistics... we officially launched in May, just in time for Mothers' Day!

At that time, we were still relying a lot on our friends who needed bouquets and other favors because we did not actively promote our brand. Every time we completed an order, we would spend extra time discussing on how to improve. Looking back now, we're glad to have since grown and met many other customers, clients, and partners along the way!

If anyone's interested in more behind the scenes on how we decided on our brand name and other parts of the launch process, let us know! Maybe we'll do another more detailed blog post nearing to our anniversary next year. Most of the stuff that you see online and on our social media are actually done in-house by us with some occasional help from our friends, so... it has not been glamorous at all!
