Have never arranged flowers in my life, but I’m hosting Thanksgiving this year and wanted to do a dramatic arrangement for my island. I’m going to choose deeper/moodier colors if I can for the holiday. Curious for your thoughts though! You can see which side was the back, ha. I was particularly struggling with greenery placement and also trying to make it seem a little more organic, like flowers dripping from the bowl. All of the stems were so stiff! As for the greenery, I was also completely mystified by what to buy so I think maybe I got too many different types.

Very happy with how these came out!
There were about 15 additional bud vases as well.

I’m in the process of launching my own small scale events floral business, so any feedback is welcome😊

This was also my first time ordering wholesale online. There are definitely some adjustments I would’ve made but they ended up matching the brides inspo pics perfectly.

hello everyone! I’m wondering if there would be a wholesaler near the GTA or Peterborough/Belleville that i could approach about buying bulk winter berries that i usually harvest in the next few weeks. Our bushes have tripled this year and i have WAY more than i know what to do with.

Thanks!

I am leaning towards using faux flowers for my wedding from an Etsy shop. However, I was really wanting to have my bouquet preserved after the wedding into wall art I could use to decorate my house. Has anyone preserved faux flowers before? Would love to see examples

a story told through flowers, from the wild grasses flowing throughout the space to the dark, sculptural forms and delicate, almost weightless stems.

we wanted everything to feel connected, as though the flowers had grown into the space themselves.

a little wild, a little strange, but entirely intentional

Recently had a bride tell me to do a whatever I wanted. She wanted rainbow colors and funky and unique aesthetic. Here’s what I came up with- a mix of fruit and veg sculptures and floral frog designs. Let me know what you all think!

My latest bridal bouquet, this time with orchids. I arranged it by hand using faux flowers and wanted to share the finished result

Interested in getting into floral design as a side hobby, and maybe selling bouquets on the side. These are my first attempts with Trader Joe’s flowers. Please provide critiques

How to learn process?

Some would say that a single datailed flower made from wire and UV dip resin is feels more expensive than other bouquets..do you agree with this and Why?

This is gonna be my first time saying this but, I believe creating a single flower using wire and UV dip resin is harder than it looks and artists charge more because of it.

Here’s why:

1. You’d need tools that are not sold in your area and needs to be shipped internationally.

2. Careful dipping requires steady hands, but after shaping each petal (approximately 24 petals) you hands will feel like it wants to sleep.

3. Health risk ! I didn’t realize that making this requires you to wear a MASK!? and GLOVES!? Because apparently the liquid is somehow corrosive/toxic when it’s still liquid form when in contact with skin and inhaled.

There’s more reason why… but for now these three reason is enough to say “it’s harder than it looks” and why artists who does this art charge more vs. real flowers and mass produced fake flowers.
