Funny how the biggest changes in life often end up being the quietest ones ❤️😂

Three and a half years ago, I moved Balla Florists from the main street to a studio at home.

At the time, a lot of people probably wondered what I was doing 😂 But honestly, it was one of the best decisions I ever made.

I still get to create beautiful weddings and flowers every single week… but now I also get this — being home, hearing the madness in the kitchen, football chats, cups of coffee, my dog asleep beside me, and actually being present for the moments that matter.

Over the years, I’ve tried different things, joined different groups, pushed myself outside my comfort zone, and met lots of people along the way. And I think that’s important too — sometimes you have to experience different environments before you truly find where you fit.

For me, the has been that place.

Helping advocate for floristry in Ireland, working alongside genuinely creative and hardworking people, and being around others who truly care about the future of the industry gives me real purpose and energy. It feels meaningful, positive, and aligned with who I am now — both personally and professionally.

I’ve realised too that business doesn’t always have to look the way it once did. Our online ordering, click-and-collect, and delivery systems work brilliantly for people and allow us to work in a calmer, more focused way while still creating meaningful flowers for all of life’s important moments.

And even though we’re studio-based now, we still care deeply about our customers and community. Especially when it comes to sympathy flowers, family occasions, or moments that really matter — I’m always behind the scenes, only a phone call or message away.

Success looks very different to me these days. ❤️💚

Not burnout.
Not noise.
Not constantly being “on.”

Just meaningful work, good people, creativity, balance, family, and a business that genuinely fits the life I want to live.

Flowers aren’t essential to everyone.
And honestly… they don’t need to be.
Some people see “just flowers.”
We see atmosphere, emotion, memories and meaning.
We see the bouquet held tightly before walking down the aisle.
The candlelit tables that make a room feel unforgettable.
The flowers that quietly say everything words cannot.
Beautiful floristry isn’t about filling space.
It’s about creating feeling.
At ballaflorists.com⁠�, we don’t try to be the cheapest option.
We focus on thoughtful design, quality flowers, calm planning and work that feels personal.
Because flowers may not matter to everyone.
But to the people they matter to… they matter deeply.

When Ciara asked me over a year ago to prepare the flowers for her wedding day, I was absolutely thrilled. Ciara is a local girl from Ballyglass and has been a customer of mine since she was only young, so being asked to be part of such a special chapter in her life was a real honour. Her brother Alan would also be one of my son’s friends, so it really felt like a wedding close to home and very much part of our local community.

Their beautiful celebration took place at and every detail came together so beautifully. The ceremony was led by celebrant Mary Costello, with stunning makeup by Anne-Marie Hughes and gorgeous bridal hair by Hair by Ciara.

The flowers were absolutely gorgeous — a beautiful mixed array of colour, full of movement and romance. We created a stunning floral meadow to adorn the aisle, bringing softness and colour right throughout the ceremony space, while the beautiful footed bowls overflowing with florals at the hotel created such an elegant atmosphere. The whole day was vibrant, joyful and full of life.
