Luxe Blooms:Wedding Floral Craze

Liza Roeser, CEO/Founder, FiftyFlowers, and Darin Bahl, Owner, Tailored Twig

The average couple spends 10% of their budget on blooms; which makes sense because flowers completely transform the look of any wedding venue. Whether the blooms are held, suspended, or placed their power radiates from each petal. From minimalistic to opulent flowers can make or break the overall look.

  • Unexpected colors and new varieties
  • Living art centerpieces

Flower Follower:Social Media For Florists

Florists have a visual business and are some of the most-followed accounts online by engaged couples. Hearts and likes come before bookings, and a strong social media following turns online inspiration into an appointment and ultimately a sale.

  • Target followers in your market
  • Posts that inspire appointments
  • Six month plan of content ideas

Flowers are the scene-stealers of the wedding day. Wedding couples are looking for a florist who’s up on the latest trends. Be that florist using textured flowers, single-color arrangements, and faux options.
