Watch florist design 3 flower pieces for a funeral.

Today I have three new pieces to show you. I'm making an open heart wreath, standing spray and vegetative design for a family. I noticed that I said in the video a couple of times that I want to make sure it's not too bright. These pieces are definitely still on the bright side, but the ones the family looked at and wanted me to adjust had a lot more yellow and were almost fluorescing with brightness, so this is less. :) I hope you love these. Please let me know if you have any questions about the design process, the flowers I'm using, etc.
This is almost real time. I only cut about 5 minutes out of the video of me walking around. There is a fourth and fifth piece that I wasn't able to record myself making. This was a gorgeous service. #funeralflowers #designer #florist #howto

I watched your video and you are so informative. I wanted to make my first standing spray, but was feeling a bit intimidated. After watching your video a little of the pressure had lifted and my spray came out beautifully!!! Thanks again for sharing your knowledge. ❤

So beautiful. I made my mother’s funeral casket spray that sat on her rustic wooden coffin. It was very similar to what have just made.

I value your commentary throughout. I learned so much. Thank you!

These florals are exceptional. Really enjoyed your creating these lovely arrangements. You are sooo informative as you do each flower! I am just getting started making floral arrangements.. You are such a through designer/instructional explaining each step. I have really enjoyed this entire video. I will keep looking for your videos.

I cannot find any easel at Amazon. Btw I did the heart it turned out great,and I loved it.thanks so much for these steps and tips.

[@TheFlowerRoom]

You are so welcome! I do see some for sale at floral supply outlets that sell direct to consumer and one on Amazon, but it’s $60… not worth it. If you make a relationship with a local Flower shop, sometimes they’ll sell them to you.

How do you prevent water coming out of oasis onto the floor?

[@lazaroramirez2821]

Beautiful!!!!! Do you happen to have any pricing videos? Like what would one pay for something like this? And how to build a recipe?

[@TheFlowerRoom]

I’m happy to share my pricing strategy, and there are some industry standards, but there will always be a need to price based upon your own costs. The breakdown usually needs to be 25-30% Cost of raw goods, 25% labor, 40-45% for overhead (rent, utilities, insurance, education, etc) leaving hopefully 5-10% for profit to reinvest in the business. ❤️ I can make a more in depth video talking about it for sure.

[@lazaroramirez2821]

@@TheFlowerRoom thank you so much. Im a newbie in the floral design realm. took a few design classes and sometimes I’m like, “there’s no way anyone’s gonna pay for this!!”

[@TheFlowerRoom]

We all have to stick together. We deserve to make enough money to be able to live. The one thing we have to make sure not to do is undercut each other. What happens when you undercut or you are undercut by someone else, is that it gives the customer the idea that the person charging the higher price is ripping them off. That is no good for the customer because the florist they are buying from likely won’t be around the next time they need them. It’s not good for the undercutting florist because they can’t pay bills and now their customers expect to not have to pay more. It’s not good for the florist who gets undercut because they have clients who think they are getting charged too much. No one wins unless we all charge enough to be able to live off more than instant ramen. I believe in you! You can do this.

How do you water the heart I watched the whole thing and you didn’t do the water… Can you please let us know?

[@lorivickers6522]

I have trouble with pricing as well. People in my area dont like to pay over 75 or 100 for a stand of any kind.

[@TheFlowerRoom]

I understand where you’re coming from. You have to charge enough so that you can afford to buy groceries, etc. a lot of florists get caught up in this kind of thing. You are not alone. Stand firm and offer a choice in the price point they want to pay, but let them know that easel sprays start at … whatever you need them to. I’d say my average for an easel spray is $225. I usually tell people that if they want to spend less than $150, that they will likely be happier with the presentation they get from a traditional “urn arrangement” or whatever you want to call it. Every area has its own names for things. I’ll say something like “If your budget is $100, I can design a beautiful arrangement in an urn container using basic flowers in whatever color scheme your prefer. Designs on easels start at $150 for a basic design and are more commonly designed using more premium flowers between $200-$350.” It takes some practice to get the wording down. You can do it! I’ll make a video about my pricing and how to talk to customers about it.

What size is the open heart that you used?

[@TheFlowerRoom]

I usually use an 18”, but some orders require 24

[@Gina52962]

@@TheFlowerRoom what size is this particular one? I have an order next week and am able to be creative. I ordered a 24” and want to be sure I ordered enough of a mix of everything. I typically cover shapes in pom pons so this time trying something new. ❤️

@@Gina52962 that was definitely 18

I didn't appreciate you talking about your employee, that he broke your easel .

[@TheFlowerRoom]

Thanks for watching the video.

[@teresamarrufo2775]

I think it's a good reminder that employees can ruin an arrangement or the equipment and the end product may not be up to the customers or the florist's standards. She didn't name the employee, just that the employee damaged the stand.

Can you talk about in a different video finding a good supplier when you are a florist in a rural area?

Do you mean that I'm obstructing the view of the insertions on video with my body?

[@elnosworld9893]

i'm looking at the quality of work and I can see that you're choosing flowers and fillers very well as far as color and freshness however what I am noticing about your work is that you're very top-heavy you favor the right side and the top and not so much the left or the bottom This makes the piece less stunning as it could be I know you have a very fixed feeling about the bottom not being important but it should be balanced with the top in the amount of flowers fillers and Balance of the type of flowers that you're putting where you put the lilies at the top and then the midsection some towards the bottom That shows a lack of quality in your work because it might be important to you but I'm sure the families are going to notice and they're probably going to wonder why that Most people are going to deduce that it is an effort to save money What you charge for spray I have no idea What you pay for your aperture I have no idea I'm sure it depends on where you're shopping and of course you should be able to get wholesale So that will save you some money But I find that people in business way too much money as opposed to creative aspects If you do a good job and you're consistent and balanced in You will be financially rewarded for that because word of mouth travels And the last thing someone wants to be disappointed Particularly when it's their loved one they're off and that is one of the most work you will ever do
