The Magic of Flowers with Yasmine Mei

Yasmine Mei from Yasmine Floral Design stops by the pod for our Season 2 finale, bringing all of her floral magic with her. Yasmine's designs are whimsical, romantic, and edgy, and we talk about the flowers and ingredients she celebrates in her work (including mushrooms!), using nature as inspiration, and a new and fun way she's been exploring the natural world. We also chat about how she maintains her voice and how she has built her business in an intentional way where her creations are thoughtful and individual. Yasmine shares some incredible advice for new designers, and for finding your voice in the floral world. What a treat.

In the intro, I mention how I'm collecting and saving seeds, planting hardy annuals, and reviewing what ingredients I loved using this year to help guide what I grow next year. On the design side, I had the opportunity to freelance last weekend and recap that! Stay til the end for this week's trivia (about mushrooms), and the song of the week, which you can find on our Spotify Flower Friends Song of the Week playlist.
