Today we’d like to introduce you to Hylary Locsin.
Hi Hylary, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
Our business started on accident. My husband and I had already completed grad school and were deep into our careers, when my sister and her wife asked if we could help them create the florals for their Yosemite wedding in 2011. I had always been creative and often taught crafting as part of my job, so I figured I could learn enough to make it work. We ended up loving the process of crafting their wedding florals, and soon after other friends and family who were getting married asked us if we could do their flowers. Eventually, we opened up to creating for people we didn’t know and from there the business took off and grew to what we have today.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Managing a family (we have two boys), another job, deciding to step away from my career and running a business based in one of the most economically competitive parts of the world is definitely challenging. One of my children has autism, so learning to adjust my business to fit with his needs and my priorities as a mother has been a struggle, but very worthwhile.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
We are a boutique wedding and event florist. We are known for beautiful work (of course, flowers are always beautiful!) and an excellent customer experience. Oftentimes our clients don’t realize that our business is comprised of a team of four, not just me, and each one of us brings a unique talent and perspective that ultimately benefits our couples and helps them have the most perfect wedding or event day we can provide.
Any big plans?
We plan to continue bringing our love for flowers and a bespoke experience to our future customers.
