We had the good fortune of connecting with Melissa Tejada-Garza and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Melissa, have you ever found yourself in a spot where you had to decide whether to give up or keep going? How did you make the choice?
There is no giving up.
Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
The idea of an e-flower shop was born several years ago, we discussed several times for years but never made the decision to make it a reality until January 2023. We introduce a concept that is different in the area of North Texas – bringing in a signature bouquet, which is an exquisite flower arrangement with a romantic rustic burlap detail and our “worry-free” kit, which has everything you need to get the best of the flowers received. As a new small business, we are very excited about our offering to our clients however it has been a challenge to make our brand recognized as a leading flower shop.
We would want to share with everyone that every arrangement is designed with love with the expectation of delivering happiness to our client’s life.
Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Definitely will start with a visit to the Museum, after that I will make a stop at the Manhattan Project Brewery (especially in the middle of a hot summer day), After a couple of beers there, we should head to el Tizoncito and get some tacos to finish off the day at the Bishop Arts District where something always is happening!
Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I want to dedicate this shoutout to my husband Luis. He is the cornerstone of our life and business. Luis is my mentor and my guidance in some of the most important decisions I have made … He is the most important person in my life. Without him this business would not be a reality.
