I always did everything myself, but my coworker fixing a messed-up bow showed me why it's good to ask for help.
This person came by my shop last Friday asking for a custom sample for a big party. They promised to return with payment but left and blocked my number. How do you protect yourself from folks who take samples and run?
I started sourcing blooms from nearby farms instead of imports. The freshness is unreal and clients love the story.
Most guides insist on underwater trimming, but my flowers last just as long without it. I save so much time on large orders now!
They add a touch of wild charm that stiff, perfect arrangements just can't match.
I was getting so frustrated with peonies breaking right before deliveries, lol. Turns out, I was cutting them too short and not giving enough support in the vase. Now I leave extra stem and use a grid of tape at the top to hold them in place. It's been a game changer for my spring weddings. Anyone have other tricks for delicate flowers like this?
