Bon anniversaire!

April 08, 2011/ Kelly Thompson

Today is Fleur's 9th birthday. It really amazes me that it's been this long with a lot of ups & fair share of downs, but somehow we've really come a long way.

Monday introductions! It’s been a long time since I’ve posted a photo of myself on Instagram, so I thought I’d say hello! My name is Kelly Marie Thompson and I am the proprietor of Fleur. This photo is a couple years old, but I look pretty much the same only with shorter hair (I’m actually currently wearing the same sweater as I type!). A little about me. I opened Fleur back in 2002 when I was 22 years old and pretty much fearless. We’re now a few months away from our 17th Anniversary & that is seriously the most. Currently I run operations. You’ll see me running around, working behind the scenes, taking care of all the boring things like paying sales tax, insurance contracts, & lots of Quickbooks/spreadsheet hours. Fortunately I also make sure to partake in the fun projects including curating our gift lines, making the wedding flowers and I still design a few weddings each year as well. I’m so lucky to be able to work with my incredible retail team and our wedding design team (you’ll be meeting them all soon!), they inspire me to no end and I’m constantly learning from them as well! Outside of work, I live with my husband not far from the boutique. I love to paint in my spare time and occasionally pick up the banjo. My favorite way to de-stress after a long day is to cook an incredible meal for friends. I turned 40 in December and I love working out. Today I’m in Iowa, working on a great project with some crazy talented friends that I met a couple years back, so keep an eye on our stories for a possible sneak peek. Thank you so much for being fans of Fleur, thank you for believing in us & supporting us and for all your love. Also, any questions about owning a small business? Ask away! 🖤🖤🖤 PS, thanks @clarypfeiffer for this photo of capturing me in my moment.

We really miss when posts were chronological, don’t you? There are so many of our friends posts that we no longer see. Let’s see if we can change the algorithm a bit, so we can keep inspiring with floral images and keep on keeping on as a small, woman owned business! @instagram

We’d love to beginning planning your wedding celebration! Our minimum for full service weddings begins at $4000 plus labor and tax.
