Podcasts about wedding flowers

This week, I have an inbox full of your wedding flower questions to share!  I also put together a list of the top wedding flower mistakes that I see couples make, to further help guide you to "DIY wedding flower SUCCESS". Today we're reviewing: How much should 5 relatively simple bouquets cost?  I'm being quoted over $1200, which feels so ridiculous. Visiting a flower farm to pick stems w/ my bridal party - how early should we pick & arrange them so that they are still fresh? How much time should we allocate to making the bouquets & centerpieces in the day or two before the wedding?   Downsides to ordering flowers online?  Considering Costco but the prices seem too good to be true We definitely want to do flower bouquets for me & bridesmaid and a simple flower on the guys' jacket, but do you have any ideas for creative centerpieces that are more affordable than flowers? From your engagement ring to your wedding day, you can protect your most cherished memories with BriteCo.  Visit brite.co/wedpod for a fast, free quote today and unlock peace of mind knowing that you're covered!

In this episode of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael is joined by co-host Niki Foster of the Front Royal Warren County Chamber and her guest, Katie Bonnet, owner of Fussell Florist. Katie shares her experiences over the last two and a half years since she last appeared on the show. Initially, she bought the florist shop from Betty Showers and had no prior experience owning a business. Despite challenges, including a major remodel and unexpected flooding from Hurricane Debbie, she has successfully made the business her own. Katie discussed the journey of establishing her unique identity for Fussell Florist, distancing it from corporate chains like Teleflora. She is thrilled with the shop's recent renovations, including an open space and a creative succulent garden in what used to be a fountain. Katie is hosting a grand reopening on November 16, 2024, complete with a ribbon cutting, giveaways, kids' activities, and a unique blindfolded floral arrangement contest with her team.  Niki emphasized how the Chamber supports local businesses, from new ones to well-established ones. They provide networking opportunities and practical help, like connecting Katie with people who assisted her cleanup efforts post-flooding. Katie offers specific advice for aspiring business owners: seek insight from others and don't hesitate to ask for help. She acknowledges the importance of community support, whether it's from family, staff, churches, or local organizations. The conversation also highlighted some of the unique services Fussell Florist offers: wedding arrangements, funeral flowers, gift baskets, corporate flower deliveries, and more. Katie announced a new membership program where customers can receive regular flower arrangements delivered to their door. Fussell Florist provides both live, artificial, and dried flowers, along with a variety of gifts and plants. Even silent auction items and seasonal wreaths are available. Niki informed listeners about the Chamber's upcoming Valor Awards and Coffee and Conversations events, underscoring the Chamber's ongoing commitment to fostering community connections. You can contact Fussell Florist at 540-635-1334 or visit their website at fussellflorist.net, or follow them on Facebook and Instagram for all your floral needs. Stay tuned to the Chamber's Facebook page or visit FrontRoyalChamber.com for updates on their events and initiatives.

This week, I have an inbox full of your wedding flower questions to share!  I also put together a list of the top wedding flower mistakes that I see couples make, to further help guide you to "DIY wedding flower SUCCESS". Today we're reviewing: How much should 5 relatively simple bouquets cost?  I'm being quoted over $1200, which feels so ridiculous. Visiting a flower farm to pick stems w/ my bridal party - how early should we pick & arrange them so that they are still fresh? How much time should we allocate to making the bouquets & centerpieces in the day or two before the wedding?   Downsides to ordering flowers online?  Considering Costco but the prices seem too good to be true We definitely want to do flower bouquets for me & bridesmaid and a simple flower on the guys' jacket, but do you have any ideas for creative centerpieces that are more affordable than flowers?

Ellen Frost, owner of Local Color Flowers in Baltimore, joins host Jennie Love for a five part series focused on key drivers of flower math for floral shops.  An informative listen for both florists and growers!   In Part 2 of the Flower Math series, we dive into product shrink and how it can be devastating to a flower shop's bottom line.  A staggering 45% of wholesale flowers never get sold, instead ending up in the trash as a total loss.  We discuss best practices at both the farm and in the shop that will help reduce this product shrink so florists can be more financially stable.  Growers, you'll want to listen because the less shrink florists experience with your product, the more they will buy from you!      Ellen and Jennie both teach online courses that may be valuable to your floral business.  Here is a link to Ellen's course and here is a link to Jennie's courses.   Ellen also has a YouTube channel and a valuable weekly education email.   This podcast is brought to you by the Philadelphia Floral Guild, where we're building community around sustainable local flowers.  If you're a florist in the Philadelphia area, we'd love to have you shop with us!  Click here to learn how.  Not a Philadelphia area florist? Look for flower farms near you on the Rooted Farmers website or through localflowers.org.  Why use local stems?  You'll hear a lot about that throughout this podcast series but here's a few of the reason:   Less Shrink: Without the stress of a long ride in the global supply chain, our stems are superior in quality with much less breakage and far better hydration. Less Labor: Our growers do all the work of a studio assistant, stripping stems and making fresh cuts on stems that go directly into water and never leave a water source. This means you do not have to process anything! Less Trash: There are no boxes, packing paper, bubble wrap, box straps, plastic sleeves, and all the other usual trash that comes with a flower delivery from the traditional wholesaler. Less Carbon Burned: Imported flowers in the US typically travel 2,500 or more miles in refrigerated planes, trucks and boats to reach you.  

I'm pretty sure I've shared my very own DIY wedding flower disaster story with you before on the podcast.But as the lessons are both timeless, relevant and in hindsight, pretty funny too, it bears repeating especially in the context of interviewing Liza from Fifty Flowers in the United States.  Liza is a trailblazing entrepreneur, a hot yoga enthusiast and the owner-operator of one of the biggest, most education-supported, customer-centric and innovative farm-to-arms DIY wedding flower companies in the world.Today Liza is going to teach you:her 8 best tips for budget-conscious couples looking to create stunning floral arrangements on their own,the 3 different levels of involvement you can choose to have with your DIY wedding flowers, andthe new wedding trends and shifts she's seeing for this year including the increased use of AI.Plus she will share what she considers the biggest misconceptions and mistakes people make with DIY wedding flowers and how you can overcome them.RESOURCESFifty Flowers website: https://fiftyflowers.com/Fifty Flowers Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fiftyflowers/Send Unbridely a 90 second audio message on Speakpipe: https://www.speakpipe.com/unbridelypodcast*The Unbridely Podcast is sponsored by its listeners.

This week on The 1 Girl Revolution Podcast we welcome Maggie Hartman, founder of Maggie's Flowers – a flower business that raises money for Christmas gifts for children in need.  When Maggie was 5 years old, in the spring of 2012, she wanted to go hang gliding while on a family vacation in North Carolina. Her parents, not wanting to say no but also not having the money to give her to go, encouraged Maggie to be creative and find a way to raise the $100 to go hang gliding. That's when Maggie's Flowers was born. Maggie sold flowers that Spring/Summer to raise the money to go hang gliding and she loved it so much - she decided to do it again the following summer. But instead of spending the money on another adventure for herself - she decided to start using the funds to buy Christmas gifts in need. Maggie's Flowers has continued ever since – every Summer Maggie sells flowers and buys Christmas gifts for children/families in need during the holidays.  Maggie has given away tens of thousands of toys and she's still going strong. Maggie is in college now, but continues to run Maggie's Flowers - selling flowers in the Spring/Summer, curating flowers for weddings and events, and more. She also has opportunities to give flowers away to those who may need a little extra love. For instance, she has a place on her website where people can purchase a bouquet from Maggie's Flowers and have it delivered to an area nursing home.  In this episode, you'll hear:  Maggie's inspiring life story; The story of how Maggie started Maggie's Flowers when she was 5 years old; How Maggie's Flowers became the incredible social enterprise that it is today, buying Christmas presents for children/families in need; Stories of children and families who have been blessed by the work of Maggie's Flowers; How Maggie continues this great initiative from her college dorm room; And so much more. The 1 Girl Revolution Podcast is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartRadio, YouTube, and everywhere you listen to podcasts.  For more information on Maggie and Maggie's Flowers, please visit: www.1GirlRevolution.com/MaggiesFlowers    For more information about 1 Girl Revolution, please visit: www.1GirlRevolution.com

Wedding bouquets and floral design at weddings in general have evolved a lot over the years. Today, flowers are not only used as decorative elements in weddings but can also evoke memories, tell a story, pay tribute to those who've passed away and even signal to your guests where they can find you (*cough* at the bar).In fact, Graham of Tweed Twigs encourages his couples to recount the specifics of important moments that he can weave into the design of his florals to create a sense of connection and unique intentionality too.Today Graham is going to teach you: why flowers have never been more expensive,and how to be creative with your flower budget so you can make more of an impact with what you've got,how event florists differ from a retail flower shop,plus how your personal stories and memories can be a springboard for your wedding decor plans.  RESOURCESTweed Twigs on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tweedtwigs/https://www.tweedtwigs.com/Send Unbridely a 90 second audio message on Speakpipe: https://www.speakpipe.com/unbridelypodcast*The Unbridely Podcast is sponsored by its listeners.
