Two Weddings, One Weekend

[@radmilamiljanic5977]

I am frankly impressed how you are able to even think with small kids around you, let alone organizing and executing everything, bravissima:)))

[@nikkiholton6318]

I ditto this!

[@jenamann3484]

I don't think you should worry about making the brides bouquets as your hand tied bouquets are absolutely gorgeous!!! Definitely worthy of any event - wedding or otherwise.

[@ShiftingRoots]

Aww, thank you!

[@valerieoster8049]

Oh my goodness! You did such a beautiful job on every arrangement,!! You should feel so proud of your accomplishments.

[@user-gr8rw1cm2d]

Ваши букеты - прекрасны, очень красивые сочетания цветов и оттенков. Вы - умница и молодец! Вы - профессионал!

[@MsSuj1]

I love how you pulled together the color patterns in these 2 wedding styles. They are bold and Victorian romantic. Nice !!

[@Midwestmama612]

Absolutely stunning arrangements and bouquets! I love the color choice/combos you pulled together! Great job!

[@rochestewart9580]

Lovely gorgeous, very talented flower woman,so you'll go far.Thanks for sharing Well done

[@victoriaschwaegler8751]

I am just so inspired by your evolving bouquet vision based on floral/filler availability. Heck, I even ran outside and started adding grasses and shrubbery to my bouquets and voila! instant Shifting Roots inspired floral arrangement❤️ Love it!!!

[@ShiftingRoots]

Aww, that makes me so happy!!

[@lynnemalone284]

6:44. I feel like this is sumac. I have used it in my bouquets too. Such a nice fall accent!

[@gardengirl7446]

Gorgeous bouquets!

[@EmsPlantPlaceEmmaLeeFreistadt]

Those all look stunning!!

[@kelleyspiller5330]

I bet your brides were thrilled! It would be cool to see some photos from the weddings! The teapots and centerpieces in coordinating colors really came together nicely. Thanks for inspiring me to think outside the box with greenery.

[@adz5bneweng589]

Your bouquets are spectacular!

[@gildamolinar5155]

the bouquets turned out gorgeous. I could watch bouquet making videos all day.

[@anniewildmush1284]

love them

[@DenSvaraTradgarden]

Amazing work! I never liked the fall color palette before, but it’s growing on me and what you created in this video is stunning! I think I need to grow some of those fall colored straw flowers next year.

[@ShiftingRoots]

Yes!! Definitely grow some, they're so useful.

[@bloomingnut23]

Good video👍

[@rachelj4970]

Those bouquets were just stunning!

[@kellymcfadden7514]

Very pretty! ESP love the second wedding with the bright colors!

[@ShiftingRoots]

Thank you!

[@cherylowen1519]

So beautiful! All of them! You are blessed with a wonderful talent.

[@ShiftingRoots]

Thank you!!

[@hopemorrison2367]

Why don't you go to farmers market with 100 bouquets I am positive they would all sell you must think positive and positive results will happen all the bouquets are very pretty even the ones you say you don't like I wish I was close to you I really like your arrangement s

[@gardengirl7446]

GORGEOUS WORK on the flowers 💐

[@AndeeMurray1]

your bouquets are so beautiful and I love the little special treats you put in each one.

[@ericamacnab6505]

I don’t know if anyone answered already but the shrub is a Turkistan Burning Bush. 😉

[@igthe_flower_mom9843]

Gorgeous results, love to see your process

[@connielynn7236]

Great job! Everything turned out beautifully. Loved the Victorian themed wedding with those tea pots. Loved seeing all the fall colors.

[@ShiftingRoots]

Thank you! I so hope I get to do a wedding like that again!!

[@dc0145a]

Beautiful bouquets 💐 😍 oh no dahlias not blooming in time; stressful. Good job thinking on your feet; alternatives. 🥰

[@candyrushascendedphoenix8]

Those are beautiful!!

[@margarethairsine8648]

Really pretty wedding bouquets and arrangements! I love the colour pallets! Well done and very inspirational. Cheers from Kingsville Ontario.....Canada's most southern tip of mainland xo

[@kcbeyer3467]

Absolutely gorgeous!!

[@helenachase78]

Beautiful work !

[@nealam100]

Gorgeous bouquets!!

[@quentinzeques5853]

Really like your bouquets! The colour mix is really inspiring :) Just think that the bride's bouquet is a bit big to hold, but great job!! Congrats.

[@ShiftingRoots]

It’s the style these days. And I might get just a tiny bit carried away… lol.

[@kingonyx2195]

8:52 its called treechoker, its very poisonous I think, its pretty tho

[@ShiftingRoots]

Thank you! I definitely won't get it for my yard, my two littles occasionally eat flowers.

[@kingonyx2195]

@@ShiftingRoots since in english you don't call it tree choker, its celastrus... Google translator told me "tree shrike" but I don't think thats it

[@altheab.8907]

Oh, Kristen, 2 weddings in one weekend with toddlers and having to run around to pick and buy. You are indeed a very brave soul. I did weddings back in the ‘80’s as a little side business. I worked full time. My children were teens, not toddlers, and I bought everything from the wholesale florist. Bouquets were much more traditional back then. Lovely grasses wouldn’t have cut it. The best weddings were the ones with silk flowers. Plenty of time to get it done. Charging for time is really hard, but you will figure it out. It will be much better when you have more growing space. You also must keep track of your mileage if your tax code allows that for a deduction. I hated the numbers part. I thrived on the creative part. But the numbers are very important. You also must add in a little for florist tape, wire, etc. Now growing your flowers….there’s a whole lot of cost there. I guess you could look up wholesale price lists and double that for each type of flower. It’s an overwhelming task, but you’ll figure it out, and then everything will fall into place. The bouquets and centerpieces were beautiful….as always. The peony leaves made a huge difference. You have a good eye and you’re very creative. So many disappointments with your flowers not blooming at the right time, etc., but you pulled it off beautifully. Congratulations. Best wishes for success always.

[@ShiftingRoots]

Thank you for always cheering me on--and you are totally right. I think when I set my prices, I thought about the cost of the flowers and the ribbon, but not really anything else. Oh well, live and learn!! And yes, the toddler part adds an extra layer to everything!!

[@altheab.8907]

I’m happy to be of any help to you that I can. You never look like you need cheering up. You are always smiling in your videos and looking to the bright side while just mentioning the disappointments. I saw what I suspect were a lot of “OMG, what am I going to do now” moments….that’s how I would have felt….maybe I would have shed a tear or two. Weddings are the best and the worst….a lot of satisfaction in the end, but a lot of anxiety striving for perfection in the process. You pulled it off beautifully. I think the universe is with you… your mom’s neighbors offering up their flowers, the choke cherries, the wild grasses just waiting for you to pluck them up, the peony leaves, etc. You did great! You had a lot of obstacles and you conquered them. You should be very proud of yourself. Perhaps you could get some banquet work this winter using the wholesale florist. I always found that the easiest and most profitable. I would set up however many containers with floral foam, green it up, design one piece, then do a production line. You may not have time if you’re moving…and you certainly deserve some time away from it. Keep smiling, Kristen, you’ve got what it takes.

[@thethirddayfarm9480]

I have had terrible luck with my Dahlias this year too. I think I have had 4 or 5 usable stems so far. :(. I am zone 4

[@ShiftingRoots]

It's just been so terrible for anyone on the prairies/Northern US.

[@jongbasco]

im not sure, that pink flower from the neighbor could be oleander.

[@jongbasco]

if it is indeed oleander, oleander is poisonous.

[@nikkiholton6318]

So how many gardens do you have ? I know u have one at your house and 1 at your moms and then another somewhere? Do u plant everything and manage all of them ??? Omg. My dahlias are very slow to open ....and just not as prolific as I had hoped. I am in zone 8 and they have been in the ground since early March

[@ShiftingRoots]

3. The one my Mom has I don’t do much except give her the plants and seeds. I take care of the one at my house and my MIL’s. It’s crazy, but it’s the only way I can attempt to grow what I need to right now.

[@nikkiholton6318]

@@ShiftingRoots I hope you are able to get more space at your new place so you don't have to run yourself ragged. Your energy and tenacity is very impressive. Ty for sharing all of your hard work !!

[@yvonnedebruin595]

Gorgeous bouquets and what a lot of work for you. Could I ask what the lovely wispy type filler is that you put in the bouquets?

[@ShiftingRoots]

It's probably the frosted explosion grass.

[@luvflowers1]

Beautiful! Girl I think you are way under charging for your bouquets. Thanks for uploading.

[@ShiftingRoots]

Yeah, I really need to review my prices over the winter.

[@donnabauerofbrilliancebyde1178]

You are picking on Tuesday for a weekend wedding? How will you keep them fresh that long? I do farmers markets and no way could I keep them fresh that long nor would I want to.

[@ShiftingRoots]

It’s not ideal, but that’s what coolers are for.

[@meirosetiger]

Gorgeous! How much did u charge for this bouquet?

[@ShiftingRoots]

Not enough, lol!! These were a lot of work!

[@pattibrown5974]

Beautiful work!
