I’m Allie, the owner of B’s Flowers LLC

 

I'm a self taught florist, a small scale flower farmer, a mother, and wife. I realized my true passion in 2022: everything flowers.

 

I grew up in Newfane, and I became a physician assistant in 2016. I practiced for about 7 years, and then I realized (and my husband realized) how unhappy I was.

I'm the type of person that finds purpose in what I do. I really didn't want to face the fact that the work I thought would give me the purpose I desired to feel, simply did not. After deciding to leave each job I had, I would think, well, let's try again but maybe this next job will be better. This one will be less hours. This one will be more money. Let me tell you, I was never happy.

I wanted change in my life, and it was time to make that happen. I needed to do a type of work that aligned with my core values and beliefs. I was tired and run down.

With the support of my husband, I started my business, B’s Flowers, named after my son, Brian. I've been running and slowly growing my business since December of 2022, and I’m ecstatic about that. 

My favorite thing is seeing a happy bride with the flowers I designed in hand. The impact that flowers can have on a person…Sometimes it brings tears to his or her eyes, and then to mine of course. 

I love using unique combinations of flowers and ingredients that you don’t usually see, and I always like to add a hint of something different to each piece that I do whether it’s for a wedding or for an everyday arrangement. 

My arrangements give a “just picked from the garden” feel. They’re kind of messy and inspired by nature. Each piece is a work of art that I passionately put together, and it’s very meaningful for me to bring joy to others with the arrangements I create. 

I love both growing and designing with flowers. Growing fresh flowers humbles me, excites me, surrounds me with nature and peace, and is a refreshing change of scene from constantly working on screens or being in an office without windows. 10 years ago, I never would have guessed this was what I would end up doing. I’m not rich by any means, but I’m rich with fulfillment and purpose; qualities I didn’t feel in my previous career.

Keep on keepin’ on!
