🌸 CHERYL’S SHOUTOUT: Bevs Blooms Floral & Plant Boutique 🌸⁠
⁠
📍 231 Town Square, Wheaton⁠
🎉 Celebrating ONE YEAR this Saturday, September 26!⁠
🌷 Special giveaways, prizes & treats!⁠
⁠
I knew I had to shine a spotlight on Bev’s Blooms, a beautiful floral and plant boutique in Wheaton! 💐 Owner Jaclyn Gaughan is a fellow Wheaton Chamber Women In Business member, and after attending an event at the shop last month, I wanted to learn more. I stopped back in this week for an interview and immediately said, “This is my happy place!” 🌿⁠
⁠
Named for Jaclyn’s grandmother, Beverly, the shop reflects her love of flowers and inspired Jaclyn to leave the fast-paced world of media advertising to create a space centered around beauty & joy.⁠
⁠
From thoughtfully designed arrangements and plants to subscriptions, corporate gifts and client deliveries, there’s plenty to love. They also feature beautiful candles from local mom-owned business Atlas & Era, each poured into unique vintage glass containers! 🕯️⁠
⁠
🎁 GIVEAWAY! Jaclyn has generously donated a beautiful succulent + vase AND a coupon book for one lucky winner!⁠
⁠
TO ENTER:⁠
🌿 Follow Bev’s Blooms⁠
🌿 Like and comment “beautiful” on any of my social media Bev’s Blooms Shoutout posts!⁠
⁠
And if you’re in Wheaton this Saturday, stop by and help Bev’s Blooms celebrate ONE YEAR! 🎉⁠
⁠
