Okay, so for someone like myself who is a Pennsylvania resident, I am thinking of opening a shop. Basically, would you just purchase flowers in bulk then resell the flower arrangements?

You would buy flowers in bulk from a farm or wholesaler. Then, create the flower arrangements from those.

In my 50+ years in the floral industry, I have known zero professional designers to use pruning shears to cut stems while designing! ZERO!
@billtaylor96792 ай бұрын
A professional floral designer cuts the stems of the flowers with a knife, not a pair of pruning shears!
@ChelseaFuss2 ай бұрын
Different florists use different tools. Yes, many prefer a knife. Some of us prefer clippers or snips.
Hi Chelsea, thank you for your informative video! I have only recently struck and interest in doing flower arranging as a career. I am doing a 1 week Flower Arranging Course at the Judith blacklock flower school in February to get in depth knowledge and hands on experience. After I have done the course I will stil be forever learning. Is it a good idea to build a portfolio of my work and set up a media page and over time go from there in making it into a business?

Hello! Love your video! I have a question. Aside from changing the water, cutting the stems and cleaning out the dead leaves, what more could I do to make my flowers last longer once they are in a vase? Is there a specific mixture or vitamins that could help them last even longer? Thank you in advance!
@ChelseaFuss4 ай бұрын
You can use a flower food, purchased from a floral supplier or florist. But you can also just make sure you are using a clean vase, clean water, and clean tools. Flower food is not necessary. Additionally, keeping flowers away from heaters and bright sun will prolong their life. I hope that helps!

I don’t think you know what a wholesale florist is! A flower shop can’t be a wholesaler. A wholesaler sales to florist. You video makes no sense! I believe you are trying to tell people how to sign up a flower shop business to shop at flower wholesalers, NOT TO BECOME A FLORAL WHOLESALER!

This video is about how a floral designer can get a license to shop at a wholesale market. It sounds like you are confused. Have a great day!

I worked 2 years at a flower shop during college. I was only getting $0.50 an hour and worked 35 hours a week. I learned so much but they never wanted to give me a raise so I left. I worked at flower shops during holidays. After graduating from college I was an educator I still had a side flower business-did friends weddings, sold items during holiday. I still love creating with flowers.

Hello, I've been trying to look up this question elsewhere but I've been unable to find it. I'm just starting out my florist journey on a small scale and I had planned on sometimes buying single stems from my local florist shop and incorporating them in the arrangements I do. A part of me feels wrong doing this and I haven't seen anyone else mention doing it. Is it okay to buy single stems from other florists in my area and use them in the arrangements I sell for small events?? Or is this frowned upon? Lol Thank you in advance and congrats on your success❣️
@ChelseaFuss11 ай бұрын
Hello Erin! That's a great question! It's not a problem to do that once in a while. You don't want to source all of your flowers from another retailer or you'd never make.a profit and that would be frowned upon. Typically you should be buying your flowers in bulk or directly from the farmer but many floral designers have to buy "emergency stems" from time to time for weddings or other situations. I hope that helps!

Hello Chelsea, how do you find wholesaler and what's the minimal spent? How do we store flowers in the car so they don't break? Thank you!
@ChelseaFuss11 ай бұрын
Hello! Google Floral Wholesaler and your city to find one near you. The minimal spent will vary with each particular wholesaler. Each florist has their own packing techniques and it will depend on the car. I typically try to keep my flowers on the floor of the card, in a box stuffed with paper around the corners. For large events I use, long florist boxes, again with paper, and for large events use a van. Best of luck!! Thanks for watching!

@ChelseaFuss Жыл бұрын
Hello! Thank you for your question. I don't use sprays for fresh flowers. I use temperature control and conditioning practices. I also source locally so that the flowers are as fresh as possible! I don't recommend using sprays. Keep the flowers cool before hand and make sure they are hydrated and fresh. Thanks!
