Wedding Florist Seminars

Petal Payday:Max Your Floral Sale

Bron Hansboro, The Flower Guy Bron

Your couple watched floral videos on TikTok. Now they think they’re experts. They show up with over-the-top Pinterest inspiration, yet insist on a modest budget. How do you sell to the over-inspired, under-budgeted couple?

  • Realistic budget conversations that don’t kill the sale
  • Referrals, wedding expos, and planner connections
  • Packages that account for seasonal flower prices

Garden Of Grandeur:Live Floral Installs

Couples want their wedding spaces to feel impressive. Nothing transforms a venue more than a bold floral install. Large-scale designs deliver maximum impact through creativity and structure. Sometimes, more really is more.

  • Watch a fast-paced, large-scale floral install
  • Structural elements for breathtaking visual impact
  • Suspended ceilings, archways, and walls

Pick Me:Social Media For Florists

Susan Davis, Fresh Designs Florist and BloomVision

The flowers are breathtaking in person, but the photos don’t do them justice. How do you capture that in-person Wow Factor that makes your designs stand out online?

  • Techniques to make your flowers more photogenic
  • Blend design with photo-friendly techniques
  • Imagery that boosts your sales

Blooming Frenzy:Inspired Floral Trends

  • Sleek suspended garlands

Hand Picked:Marketing Struggles And Solutions

Adrienna McDermott, Founder, Ava and the Bee

Consider this your modern-day society paper, uncovering the marketing missteps quietly costing you bookings. In a world where couples are researching and forming opinions before they ever inquire, beautiful florals alone is no longer enough. Create content that converts, increase your visibility, and position your brand to be chosen.

  • Where you’re losing bookings (and how to fix it)

First Impression Rose:Before They Book

  • Turn floral inquiries into ready-to-book clients
  • Sales inquiry workflow and tips
  • Simple shifts that increase your closing ratio
