Episode 67 - 'I wonder if you can actually do this as a job' with Belinda Fleay

Belinda Fleay has been a florist for 2.5yrs. What started as an investigation into a hobby very quickly turned into employment and the start of a business!This surprise was well and truly embraced, and so a home studio was set up and her business started to grow around raising her 3 boys.I met the beautiful Belinda from Rose & Lily Floral Haus in 2023 when she signed up for Wedding Flowers 101 at The Floral Art Academy.I knew within a few lessons that Belinda had something special - and so when the course finished, I offered her a job.Over the last 18 months, Belinda has trained to become a florist, started her own business and completely changed her trajectory. It's been a beautiful transition to watch and encourage and I'm absolutely thrilled to have Belinda on The Bloom-Print Podcast to share her journey into floristry, how it all started for her, moving from health promotion into floristry, building her business, collaborating with other gorgeous vendors and stepping into a world where she gets to have this much fun every day. If you love listening to this episode - firstly - go and follow Belinda at Rose & Lily Floral Haus because she's such a beautiful human and florist to know. And secondly - go and sign up for the Wedding Flowers Retreat 4-6 July 2025 and let's propel your floral career into the world of luxury wedding design so you can be just like Belinda!
