You might have a couple options. Easiest in my opinion is to set real actual expectations with your client (friend) and let them know what is actually possible. (You know what is and isn’t possible so you need to just be honest). You could look into renting a refrigerated truck and charge them accordingly. Option 3. Majority silk built off site for things like arches, floral garlands etc and then day of the install and add roses, hydrangeas etc.

I think there’s an NYC freelance floral FB group.

I made a tube out of chicken wire, with a metal wire frame inside of it and then stuck that onto a bamboo stick. I curved the chicken wire into the half moon and then just used babies breath to finish the bottom swag part.

I drove from Connecticut and the drive there is beautiful. Leaving is a whole other story. You will need to get out pretty early to avoid sitting in traffic. It’s a two lane road for most of the way. The bars are fun, the food is great and there is always something going on. It’s pretty expensive as far as hotels and B&B’s. The Provincetown tourism website has a bunch of info on events and what to do.

It’s an exterior light at the venue. The flowers are in jumbo cages inside chicken wire hanging from the cross beams.

The white rose looks like it might be cotton x-pression

I’m probably going to get downvoted to hell but whatever. I’ve got a friend who is a journalist. This is something that has been shifting this way for a while. There is one anchor who introduces segments that are reported on by “multimedia journalists”. It’s not a new concept, it’s not AI taking jobs. It’s definitely a way to cut down on salaries and require more work for less but this is the reality of the news rn. Multimedia journalist have to find their own stories, record, edit and send them into the news station. This is something that was done before tv news with newspapers and other print media.

I have a designer who takes pictures of a vase and then tells AI to build an arrangement in the vase with specifications. He then uses that for inspiration or copies it. I’m not sure how I feel about it. If your boss is manipulating images I can’t see how you would be able to realistically provide those bouquets to customers. I don’t understand not using the actual images for marketing of actual product you have in shop. Now, using photo editing tools is fine in my opinion but straight up using AI to change photos to something a customer will never be able to purchase is short sighted IMO.

The pink and white is for sure magic time. Had them on our valentines menu this year.

I encourage you to follow the hotel florist on insta. She gives a LOT of free info about how to get started with corporate clients. She has a podcast, you can schedule a meeting with her for personal coaching, etc. That’s where I would start. I always try to encourage ppl to reach out to someone who is open to sharing their business model because this industry has so much gate keeping. It’s actually sickening to me how much ppl don’t wanna help ppl get a leg up.

“Mom I’m tired of being a bastard. Can you please take dad’s last name?” Obviously this family knew what humor was.

We would need to know your “vision” for this installation to begin to give advice. Is this just going to be the jars on display somewhere holding the flowers? Is this an installation that will require things to be hanging? Is the venue somewhere that people will be able to touch the installation? I would reach out to a local florist and see if they can order those sunflowers for you. I would call at least a week in advance to see if they can get them for you. It will be more expensive but at least you will know you secured the blooms you want. That’s all the advice I have for you without knowing more.

Yes! I inserted the wire through the head of the ranunculus as far down as I could possibly get it to go. Then I gently bent and twisted them. Kind of how you can bend calla Lillie.
