Florist Tips and Advice

This week’s Tuesday Q&A dealt with 3 good questions from real florists!

  1. What if a customer hasn’t paid a bill, but they want you to do another event?
  2. How long can you leave flowers in a hydration chamber?
  3. What are some foam free tips for holiday arrangements and table runners?

Click to watch now and get my answers to these questions! And if you have a question for me, reach out anytime.

The takeaway: try something new and experiment a little! You don’t have to reinvent the wheel in your business, but it can be fun to try things and learn something new!

Keep doing beautiful work and I’ll see you next week for more live Q&A as well as my Pricing Chat!
