    For those interested, the 1st investor who actually helped her out left the partnership which left 33 percent with meagen and 66 percent with the JW investment company. Their lack of faith on her made them hire a CEO which according to her was the beginning of the doom. The company closed down on 2018 before which she left the company on her own accord due go lack of respect by the management to her. When she left the company, it had 120 employees and 7.2mill revenue.
    Later she started a company sola wood flowers which i believe is solely owned by her, and has 0 debt and is thriving. Their 2021 revenue based on a internet source is around 5mil dollars.
    Best of luck for the future.

      On the other hand, think about a wedding bouquet that you could keep forever. I love another commenter who said she had wood flowers at her wedding and now they are a centerpiece in her home. These would be perfect for any special occasion you want to remember forever.

    People want economically friendly options. My wife and I used these types of flowers at our wedding. We still have her bouquet, the bridesmaids have em, the men have their boutenierrs, forever. And we spent around $400 for these instead of $4000 for real flowers which just get chucked away and die.

    • @robinabernathy2829

      You do know that when it comes to wedding they have services that actually put your flowers through a process after the wedding to preserve them for life right? I don't know if people just don't know about this or what.
