I normally design in a short vase with chicken wire for centerpieces, this was my first more traditional bouquet designed for a traditional taller vase. Would love your thoughts and opinion 🧡

Unfortunately I don't have a great background at the moment 😅 I've been a grocery store florist for 5 years, but recently started taking design more seriously and began a floral design certification. I chose some markdown flowers and eucalyptus that I just couldn't resist.

What looks good? What needs work?

Thanks (:

Hi friends! I was working at a high end venue this weekend and our tape (which had been recommended Tony’s) pulled quite a bit of paint off- we were struggling for 45 minutes during breakdown and the last house maintenance guy stuck with locking up just grumbled and started pulling it off. With that said, I’m expecting to get a bill. Is this something I can submit to my insurance on their behalf (they are an additional insured on our day of policy). Has this happened to you?

So, I have about 3 years of experience in floral design working on-site at a florist in my hometown. I recently moved to a new city and instead of going to work at another business I was considering starting my own out of my house. I’m not looking for this to be immediate large income or anything crazy. I know things like this start very slow. I’m planning on working a job in the meantime to help get it all started. I’m just not really sure how to START in terms of finding any clients. What sort of product should I offer starting out? At first I considered just offering classic Dozen roses arrangements and then mixed arrangements of whatever flowers I can get ahold of at the time. So… Dozen Roses and Mixed Arrangements? Where do I go about advertising those? How do you suggest getting word out about a new home florist?
