  • Episode 14 | What my backend paperwork looks like!
    2025/04/24

    An unfortunate part of owning a wedding floral business is the non-ending cycle of PAPERWORK.

We talk about what I prioritize and how to stay on top of the current weddings, booking weddings, and upcoming weddings!What were your biggest takeaways?

    Episode 12 | How to create a specific style or emotion in your wedding floral designs

    ——

    Let's break down some of the elements that create certain styles and emotions in your floral designs!

    Some of the strongest tools to do this (in my opinion!) are shape, color, and texture; different combinations of these elements can create a look that runs the gamut from sleek/polished/streamlined to whimsical/wildflowery/cottage-core.

    SO let's unpack some ways to do this AND practical tips on how to hone in on a specific style that you want to create for a client!

  • Episode 10 | My favorite way to make wrist corsages

    Episode 10 | My favorite way to make wrist corsages | October 8, 2024

    Here is a quick and simple rundown of how I like to make wrist corsages for wedding work! I typically use elastic wristbands (unless the couple requests otherwise) and a combination of wire, glue, and moss mechanics.

    This system has been honed in over the years (and is sometimes tweaked for specific styles) but gives a consistent look AND quality to my designs!

  • Episode 09 | Is owning a wedding floral business right for you? | September 25, 2024
    2024/09/26

    While there are MANY factors to be considered when deciding whether to start your own business in wedding flowers, this chat mainly covers the differences in being the owner of a floral design company vs working as a floral designer!

    As the owner/CEO you will wear many hats, and be in charge of LEADING your company. You need to be willing to do this (even if you are still learning & growing as we all are) as the owner! Running a business is not all about designing, prepping stems, and building centerpieces all day after all ;)

    Listen in and see which parts of this resonate with you—let that help guide you to your true purpose and find the correct role in the floral design industry!

  • Episode 08 | Quoting wedding flower orders WITHOUT your money mindset blocks getting in the way | September 17, 2024
    2024/09/17

    A lesson I learned in business was that MY mindset about money was blocking me from best serving my client!!

    If a price quote felt like “a lot” to ME I was watering down the order, pricing to the budget, and not giving the couple the chance to spend for their DREAM vision! You should feel confident in your pricing strategy, the value of your product/service, and not be afraid to send that quote!!

    It is our job to educate the client, and if their vision costs more than their budget, it is our job to communicate that to them—not to low-ball, water-down, and reign-in their vision. Since realizing how this was happening in my business, I’ve practiced better communication in our consultations. I let the couple know that I can quote to their VISION or to their BUDGET, and 100 percent of the time the couple wants to know the price for their dream vision!

    If needed, I will offer some options to bring the total closer to their budget, BUT if the flowers are important to the couple more often than not they will spend the extra needed to bring their dreams to life! It is a win-win, watering down the vision is NOT the best way to serve the client (when the vision and budget do not align) but communicating and giving them the ability to CHOOSE is!
