Become A Florist | Behind the scenes of my day as a Studio Florist

[@heathermoore1985]

Please do not stop doing these videos! Totally new to your channel but you have helped me so much. I own a funeral home and prepare, arrange, and stress over floral arrangements all the time. Your videos are saving my brain from exploding, so thank you. Your confidence and laughter are contagious. Thanks again!

[@jemsfloralstudiotheacademy7091]

Awh, thank you so much. Where is your funeral home based? My family owns funeral homes in Staffordshire. I’m lucky as I get to make the flowers for the families. I can totally imagine your stress doing the flowers as well, but that’s some good going! Xx

[@suzanneharper4877]

Thank you sooo much Jem.. You’ve helped me to do a friends funeral flowers..The main problem I had was sourcing the flowers, all the whole sellers are for trade only.. 😊❤😊

[@jemsfloralstudiotheacademy7091]

I can imagine! But I’m glad you got them sorted xx

The cricket bat & floral spray look great.. Well done!🎉😊❤

[@abigaillathwood4987]

Absolutely love your videos, made my first ever funeral tribute after watching your videos ❤ thank you xx

[@jemsfloralstudiotheacademy7091]

That’s amazing! I sure it was beautiful! Thank you so much xx

[@Juliamccarthy-w3f]

i have used the pre-pleated ribbon before and its just so handy! the cricket bat tribute is ace! instead of using the moss, perhaps fake grass might work or artificial moss?

[@karenbishop477]

Love your videos Jem. Beautiful flowers, I'm in the process of creating a funeral brochure. Keep the videos coming ❤️ xx

[@jemsfloralstudiotheacademy7091]

[@ByfieldsBlossoms]

Beautiful work as usual. Im learning so much from you. Thanks Jem!❤

[@jemsfloralstudiotheacademy7091]

Thank you so much! I’m glad I can help 💕 I will keep them coming xx

[@suzanneharkins5371]

i love that they arent in boxes! So they arrive to you in crates??

[@jemsfloralstudiotheacademy7091]

Yes, but there is one supplier I use where they come in boxes and it annoys me so much 🤣🤣

[@BonjourtheFlowerShop]

Beautiful work. Can i ask how do you keep your flowers? Do you have a cooler?

[@jemsfloralstudiotheacademy7091]

I don’t have a cooler. In the summer in England when the temperature is hot. I will use an air conditioning unit xx

[@allanahflowers]

Amazing work. Another great video with lots of tips! You are a great teacher! How do you price your wedding bouquets please? And the big cream skirt bouquet, what would you charge for that round about? Thanks in advance :)

[@jemsfloralstudiotheacademy7091]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that 💕 For wedding bouquets I have set prices that I know will cover the cost of any flowers. I usually use more expensive roses in bridal bouquets so I always keep this in mind. My bridal bouquets start at £120, but if someone literally just wants a bridal bouquet and doesn’t mind what does into it. I price this at the same mark up I do for my other flowers (3x) and don’t use the more expensive flowers. For the skirts, I charge an additional £6 Xxx

@@jemsfloralstudiotheacademy7091 thank you so much for your help!❤️

Beautiful flowers

Thank you 🤍🧚‍♀️ xxx

[@jessbannister1966]

Thanks for sharing 💗 did u wet the moss base1st Jem.xx

[@jemsfloralstudiotheacademy7091]

Hey babes! I didn’t wet the base first, but you can do. I find it very heavy to do this so I just spritz the moss with water spray before it goes out xx

[@suejolly2770]

Great tutorial. Can l ask what filler flowers you would use for small bridesmaids bouquets, we are using white roses and gyp so far, thanks in advance:)

[@jemsfloralstudiotheacademy7091]

Thank you! I would stick with just white roses and gyp for bridesmaids, simple and classy. If you want to you can layer a few eucalyptus stems around the outside of the bouquet, but just gyp and roses are enough. If you did want to put something extra in as a filler flower- for the shape I would recommend spray roses or eustoma xx

[@suejolly2770]

Thank you for your advice Jem, much appreciated X

[@lorrainelawrence8265]

Hi have you thought about using AstroTurf instead on the moss?

[@jemsfloralstudiotheacademy7091]

I have actually but never done it! I will try it next time 😍 xx

[@suzanneharper4877]

Could you use fake grass? Would it give the same result? Minus the bugs😂😂

[@jemsfloralstudiotheacademy7091]

Yes, some people use fake grass. It actually looks really nice. I’ll be doing that next time! Haha xx

[@tach4473]

How long the flowers can be kept without refrigerating or putting in a cold place? Does it even possible to keep them fresh?

[@jemsfloralstudiotheacademy7091]

@@tach4473 It depends where you are in the world. I wouldn’t leave the flowers out for more than 2 days before they are sold xx

[@suzanneharkins6812]

so much eucalyptus 😂😂

[@jemsfloralstudiotheacademy7091]

I know 🤣🤣

[@heathermoore1985]

Scary moss bags 😂😂😂

[@jemsfloralstudiotheacademy7091]

I always dread moss work! You never know what company you are going to be graced with 🤣 I worked with another florist once and she found a mouse in hers. From then on I always have the fear xx
