Tell us about your lovely self and your
business?
Bloomz opened our doors on December 18,
2007, to the festivities of a block party attended by friends and well-wishers at our first location in
Ubud.
Background of owner: Janice Lee Ripley
A passion for flowers and decor is the driving force for the creation of Bloomz in Bali, Indonesia. This
artisan endeavor began in San Francisco, California, where my previous exposure to floral design brought me
to the attention of Fioradella. The Fioradella studio was the “it” company at that time for events including
society weddings, museum openings, and holiday celebrations. Clients included Martha Stewart, Wilkes
Bashford, Paloma Picasso and the San Francisco Symphony, among others. During this time, I was pursuing a
master of fine arts degree at the san Francisco art institute having recently relocated from New York.
To date, Bloomz has grown exponentially due to our reputation, through word of mouth recommendations, and
exposure on social media. These accomplishments have resulted in Bloomz executing over 80 boutique quality
weddings in 2016.
Since opening in 2007 Bloomz has provided innovative flowers and decor for over 700
weddings and produced hundreds of party events in Bali and beyond.
How did Bloomz begin?
After some 10 years of
extended visits to Bali working with the
jewelry silversmiths on my fashion jewelry collection, I made the decision to call Bali home. The tropical
landscapes, the elegant Balinese people & culture, and the artistic vibe of Bali nurtured my creative
spirit. I began composing floral arrangements for my own home utilizing the flora available locally. The
personal fulfillment of working with flowers led to the opening of Bloomz fine flowers. The intimate and
magical flower shop gained the attention of the New York times travel writer, who described Bloomz as “a
must see while in Bali”. Weddings and special events followed in discovering Bloomz. Clients include Aman
Resorts, Oberoi Hotels, Mozaic Ubud, Louis Vuitton and a plethora of social weddings and parties.
What’s your super-power? And what’s unique about your business?
My superpower is my creative intuition and
ability to deliver a personalized and beautiful environment for my clients. Bloomz is unique in so many ways
including our capacity to turn a concept into an ultimate reality for weddings and special events.
Where do you draw your inspiration from?
All
flowers tell a story, of the earth, the sun
& the rain…memories, passions, stories of grace and the joys of life.
I am passionate about flowers, grasses, seedpods, branches and brambles. What they represent are gifts from
nature; their strength and beauty, with us for just a short time. I am passionate about how they can
transform a room, a venue, and the landscape. They can elevate what and how you feel. I love flowers, I love
working with brides and the grooms creating a wonder world of joy and beauty for them.
