Some stories stay with you long after the conversation ends.
Laura shared one that stopped me in my tracks.
A woman reached out to her about preserving a bouquet of flowers. But these weren’t just any flowers. Her husband had arranged for them to be delivered to her on her birthday… knowing he wouldn’t be there to see it.
He was dying, and before he passed, he organised for the flowers to arrive on her birthday from him. They had been together since they were teenagers. It was one of the last gifts he would ever give her.
When Laura told that story, it was a moment that really captured the heart of the work she does. Something as simple as a bouquet of flowers arriving at the door can hold so much love, memory, and meaning. And while flowers eventually fade, the love behind them doesn’t.
Through her work, Laura preserves those moments so people can hold onto them in a physical way. Wedding flowers, funeral flowers, the ashes of loved ones, the fur of a beloved pet, even breastmilk from motherhood journeys. Each piece is created with care, respect, and the understanding that these aren’t just objects. They are memories.
What began as a small creative hobby during lockdown has now grown into a deeply meaningful business where Laura helps people honour love, loss, and the moments that shape our lives.
It was such a special conversation about grief, love, creativity, and the unexpected ways our purpose can find us.
