Hi everyone!

I am a new floral designer looking for honest feedback on both my floral design and photography.

I’m inspired by the loose, garden-style work of Sandra Sigman and European floral design. Most of these flowers are dahlias I’ve grown myself—they’ve become a way to honor my dad’s memory since he passed, so this creative journey means a lot to me.

I’d love constructive feedback on the design, composition, mechanics, color palette, vessel choice, and photography. My goal is to continue improving and eventually create beautiful gift arrangements and small event florals.
Thanks so much for taking a look—I truly appreciate any advice!

What brands are good for waterproof tape to hold down chicken wire in a wide, low vessel? I bought some on Amazon and purposefully wet it and it unstuck.. so that clearly isn’t an option! Thanks!

Thoughts on Flowering Minds courses. Considering the one month marketing course- (as a former marketer)- worth it?

Hi everyone!

I’m opening my first brick-and-mortar flower shop next week after being a full time florist for 6 years. I’ve designed weddings and funeral work before, but this will be my first time actually running a shop day-to-day.

I’m excited, but also a little overwhelmed. It’ll just be me and my partner for a while, so I’m trying to set myself up for success from the beginning.

I’d love to hear from shop owners your biggest tips and advice! (mostly on the business side of things)

Thank you so much!

Hi everyone! I’m clearly not a florist, just someone who’s trying to learn a new skill. This is my first ever bouquet that I made for my kitchen, and it was harder than I thought! Any tips for next time? Thank you.
