Let's hear it for all the moms. It is time to say THANK YOU for all they do for their children and their families. We are in awe of our Floral Artist Rebecca, mother of 5, and our Creative Director Kate Brack, mother of 2 very young children. They make the enormous task of balancing their families' needs and their hard work for EventWorks seem effortless. Somehow they juggle life home and on event sites with ease, and probably little sleep. They still show up with pep in their step and large smiles, looking fab. We bet your mothers do the same.

We have them all on our special Mother's Day Playlist and we invite you to get into the groove this week. If you need a refresher on How To Make A Beautiful Floral Bouquet, please visit our BLOG . HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!
