We were lucky to catch up with Grace Scott recently and have shared our conversation below.
Grace, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today What’s been the most meaningful project you’ve worked on?
A couple reached out to us and asked to preserve some of the flowers they received the week they lost their baby girl at birth. This was such a meaningful request and something I will always cherish. The frame I made is such an impactful piece for this couple. What an honor to make something so small, yet so significant in so many ways!
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
My name is Grace and I am the owner of For Keeps Florals. We provide flower preservation services to customers across the nation! Our shop ranges from dainty jewelry to large custom frames where customers get many different size and color options to preserve their special flowers in. We launched at the start of 2023 but I have been working with flowers (in many different ways) since 2015!
For Keeps is such a special business that I am so proud of. We get to provide customers with super special pieces to commemorate the flowers from very important days in their lives!
For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative?
The most rewarding aspect of being an artist is being able to mostly work from home while also providing for my family. We have an almost 2 year old and it is so rewarding to spend most of my days with him while also managing and creating for my company. There is nothing more important than quality time with my family and I feel so privileged I can do a trade I absolutely love while not missing out on such important times in my families lives!
We’d love to hear the story of how you built up your social media audience?
Social media is on ongoing job for us! We are always trying to stay on top of it and create good quality posts or things of interest for our followers. One of the biggest things we have tried is reaching out to individuals with a large following and providing a service for them in exchange for social media posts. We had luck with one ‘celebrity’ from the Bachelor franchise and were lucky enough to preserve her wedding flowers last year! This brought us new followers and more awareness to our page!
We also take the time each month to reach out to florists, photographers, wedding planners, and other key people in the wedding industry to introduce ourselves and hope they can spread our name around too! It’s so fun to reach locals and also wedding professionals across the nation.
