We love any excuse to take Lucy out into the world, but being part of Tempe Blooms felt extra special. Surrounded by color, creativity, and a downtown full of people who showed up ready to celebrate flowers, Lucy fit right in.

Lucy is our 1973 VW Super Beetle, and if you know her, you know she has a way of drawing people in. At Tempe Blooms, she became more than just a vintage car parked on the street. She felt like part of the experience. Families stopped to take photos. Friends gathered around her. People asked questions, shared stories, and smiled as they walked by. That kind of connection is exactly why we love bringing her to community events.

The floral installations throughout the event were truly incredible, and we were honored to have one of the standout displays created by Design in Blooms. Their work transformed the space into something immersive and unforgettable. The attention to detail, the scale of the installation, and the overall artistry added so much to the atmosphere. It was inspiring to see their creativity in full bloom alongside so many other talented artists and makers.

Tempe Blooms brought together florals, murals, live art, music, and local vendors in a way that felt vibrant and welcoming. It was easy to walk through, easy to explore, and easy to enjoy. Events like this remind us how powerful community spaces can be when creativity is centered and local talent is highlighted.

We were also excited to see coverage of the event in Phoenix New Times. Being featured alongside the installations and moments from the weekend was such a meaningful experience for us. It is always encouraging to see local media supporting community events and the small businesses that participate in them. That kind of visibility helps tell the larger story of creativity in the Valley.

For us, Lucy represents more than just a vintage vehicle. She represents storytelling, nostalgia, celebration, and connection. Seeing her included in an event filled with flowers and art felt aligned with everything Dreamy Dubs stands for. It was a reminder that beauty does not have to be complicated. Sometimes it is a classic car, a field of flowers, and a community willing to gather in one place.
