Darla Bettencourt, owner of Blossoms on the Bricks in Fort Worth, started her business as a 16-year-old to pay for gas and insurance while attending high school. She landed a part-time job at a nearby florist and eventually opened her own boutique-style shop in 2012.
Blossoms on the Bricks is known for its custom arrangements and premium floral choices, such as hydrangeas, peonies, and garden roses. The shop caters to various events, including weddings, rehearsal dinners, baby showers, and TCU events. Bettencourt attributes her business’s success to word-of-mouth referrals and not advertising.
The biggest challenges for the business include weather conditions, traffic, and managing inventory from Holland and Ecuador. Despite these challenges, Bettencourt prides herself on creating unique arrangements that honor special occasions, whether it’s a funeral, birthday, or wedding.
Bettencourt’s favorite part of her job is making customers’ dreams come true with their vision for flowers. She also emphasizes the importance of communication with clients to ensure everyone’s happiness during events.
