Ruby Slipper Design Brings Beauty and Fun to Events and Weddings

Learn more about this Brighton-based business in this week's Small Business Shout Out.

Sandra Bostwick, owner of Ruby Slipper Design, said she's always loved flowers, weddings and events - so it just made sense to start her own business.

"Becoming a wedding/event florist seemed like a natural fit for me. When a person is planning a party, it is always a fun, and happy occasion, so I feel blessed to be a part of their happiness," she said.

Bostwick recently submitted information about her business through Patch's Business Shout Out. If you have a business and want to participate in Patch's Small Business Shout Out you can fill out the form here.
