We had the good fortune of connecting with Chelkie Douglas and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Chelkie, why did you decide to pursue a creative path?
I have been blessed with a creative thinking mind, a gift from a higher power, and I am truly grateful for it. The ability to think creatively is something I cannot fully explain, but I cherish it deeply. I am fortunate and thankful to be able to pursue my passion every single day and turn it into a source of income. It is a true blessing to do what I love and find fulfillment in the creative work I am able to create.

What should our readers know about your business?
As a unique florist, I set myself apart with my distinctive style, attention to detail, and exceptional customer service. Building a successful floristry business comes with its challenges, but I’ve learned the importance of strong relationships with suppliers, growers, and customers. By understanding my target market and developing reliable partnerships, I can anticipate and fulfill customer demands.

What truly sets me apart is my dedication to making an impact in people’s lives through my passion for flowers. I offer special services like same-day and exclusive after-hour deliveries, which no other floral company provides. I believe in going above and beyond for my clients, showing up on significant days and events with beautiful roses to make them feel special. It’s an original approach that sets me apart from others in the industry.
