Juggling With Flowers

In this episode, Lori has a solo chat with Cadence Kennedy.

Based on Long Island, Cadence found her passion for photography at a young age. She started practicing as a child with film and now specializes in digital. Sparked by inheriting a box of family photos from her grandmother, Cadence wanted to give people the same gift of memories.

Cadence and Lori chat about how they meet back in 2015, visions of the wedding industry and where they want to take their artistic approach in the future, and motherhood.

We are back after a week off. We had a lot going on last week- Moving into our first home, a corporate event and a spring centerpiece workshop. This week we talk about the experience with our move, feelings about the purchase of a home, our first workshop of the year, the corporate event, and fear and doubt.

In this episode, we discuss the most difficult part of our job- creating recipes and ordering.

We talk about events and situations that cause us such difficulties on a weekly basis, and how and why we implement policies and structure to help smooth out the process.

In this episode, we answer some of your questions.

We discussed floral frogs, what we do with flowers that we didn’t sell, corsage tips and tricks, and people who dislike or criticize our work.

We really enjoy this format, and look forward to answering questions or concerns you may have. So please keep them coming.

We had referenced Seth Godin in the podcast and how we love his work. He wrote a blog titled “I don’t like your work”, and it really ties into the question about criticism. We highly recommend following Seth, as he is truly a master at his craft.

In this episode, we catch up with our friend, Adrienne from Ipanema Press.

We touch on how we met. Parenthood and running a business. How the wedding flowers chosen by a couple can often inspire the design of their stationery. How great it is for like-minded vendors to work together on a wedding and how it is a treat to be on the same team and contribute our talent on the same project.

On this episode we talk about our early struggles with Instagram and how the wrong mindset and keep you from reaching your goals and being authentically creative.

Below are the 3 key ways to a healthier social media mindset we discuss in detail:

1. Ask yourself “who are you posting for and why?”

2. How to stop caring about what other people are doing.

3. How redirecting your focus to several platforms rather than investing all of your time on one platform can make you happier and create valuable content.

In this episode, we discuss briefly a little bit about us, what to expect from our podcast and the inception of AvaFlora. Thanks for listening!

In this episode, we answer questions that were asked in a recent Instagram post. The questions we received were great and we would love to further elaborate on a few, turning them into future episodes. Thanks for listening!
