Today we’d like to introduce you to Ana Valencia.
Hi Ana, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
Let’s Bloom Miami was born from my passion to constantly create new things and for my innate love for flowers.
Since I was a child I have been in close contact with flower growers, botanists and artists…
I had always had corporate jobs in Latin America but felt that something was missing and I didn’t feel complete or fulfilled. The day finally came when I decided to take a leap of faith and let my creativity run wild and start to create magic with my hands.
I started to search for a way to showcase my artistic thought and I found myself turning to my roots, I returned to flowers.
In 2017, after the support from family, friends and floral teachers and their faith behind me and what I could I accomplish, I established Let’s Bloom.
The name stems from the internal strength that flowers have and are able to show their greatest beauty when they bloom. I love that I am able to express myself and help my clients showcase their expressions, through my arrangements.
We are able to be part of Let’s Bloom patrons’ celebrations with beautiful arrangements and we are also there when they need to send someone flowers as condolences. No matter what our customers need to express, we can help them do so through our artistic outlet, florals.
Also, we have our studio and store, a place full of creativity and options for our clients. We are hosting private recreational flower courses and we are going to start doing art exhibitions with the peaces of local artists.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Let’s Bloom Miami has evolved naturally. You can grasp this through our Instagram feed, when we started selling hydrangeas to where we are now, creating beautiful events for luxury international brands.
Sure, we’ve struggled on our way to where we are. Many of the struggles have to do with the normal financial burden many have to deal with when starting your own business.
We have challenges to be able to have a business that is more eco-conscious, support local businesses, to name a few. All of this to hopefully be able to have an integrated business which I dream of: where we have a positive impact sharing art and beauty wherever we go.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
We create floral arrangements for every occasion, flower installations, events…if it needs flowers, you name it and we will create it… We are specialized in bringing beauty to every place we go.
The details make us different, for example the vintage vases, the mechanics of our arrangements, our curated selection of flowers and our personalized service make us an elevated flower service. I personally feel proud of my clients that inspire me and let me create freely. They trust my vision and creative process. That is priceless and I can say that I love them all!
Our arrangements are always unique, they always have a different starting point: each client is different as their floral needs. So I feel that every day is a new experience and a new possibility and I love it!
From our store we are supporting small business offering their products to our clients.
What matters most to you? Why?
Speaking from my heart, happiness matters to me! My clients’ happiness and my own. So if I see a smile, a surprise face, or if I receive a lovely message from my clients, I feel fulfilled, it’s all that matters… the art, the hard work, the new ideas, the best blooms in town and beyond!!
And speaking as a business owner, a great experience and a profitable business model is what matters. I’m lucky that both of my priorities go hand in hand.
