Who are We?
ABOUT ME
I am Brigid Riley, the founder of Fernwood Flowers. I lived in the US for many years, near Washington DC, where I worked with clients that were planning either luxury weddings or flashy corporate and political events and fundraisers. It was a hectic pace and I loved it in that moment. When my husband and I moved back to Ireland, our two children in tow, we decided we wanted a rural upbringing for them, where they could grow up slowly and innocently. To do this, I knew I would need to start my own business. I had a vision for a style of floristry (and life!) that took a slower pace, with inspiration from garden- gathered flowers, abundant and romantic and inspired by the seasons and so Fernwood Flowers was born!
FUN FACTS
Other things about me? Let’s see….
I love to travel. I am always planning our family’s next adventure. I believe strongly that experiences are so much more valuable than material things and I am trying to instill those values in my kids. I love the outdoors, hiking in the forest, working in the garden, dining alfresco in the Summer- generally being around nature. I love black coffee (probably too much), delicious, simple food and great wine. I am left-handed, a Ciotóg as we say in Ireland. I was raised in Ireland, though I was born in the US and I feel an attachment to both sides of the pond. I have an incredible husband, Kyle who truly keeps the show on the road!
