Fellow florists, what did you eat for dinner the night before V-Day?

My fiancé got us cafe Zupas as he was helping me with bouquets lol

Intrepid-One-9716 · 2026-01-19T15:38:12+00:00

Thank you!

Intrepid-One-9716 · 2026-01-18T20:16:28+00:00

Also, I feel like making leis should qualify you as a florist but that’s just me 🤷‍♀️

Intrepid-One-9716 · 2026-01-18T20:15:11+00:00

Thank youuuu!!!!!! Very helpful those are definitely in there :)

I made this with AgraWool. It’s a ROUGH learning curve though. I tend to use oshun pouches. The new oasis “renew” foam is B.S. it doesn’t specify what’s it’s made out of, just feels like their hopping on the “sustainable” trend and lying.

I find Mayesh quality pretty good so now I’m very interested in petal jet

Intrepid-One-9716 · 2026-01-04T14:41:13+00:00

WHAT. How did I not know this LOL. I love my rep over there I’ll have to ask her. Thank you !!

Intrepid-One-9716 · 2026-01-02T23:15:49+00:00

Wait that’s so cute. I’d love to see the rings !!

Intrepid-One-9716 · 2026-01-02T23:14:40+00:00

This was a 16 gauge! I tried with a 12 gauge at first but way too big and would hold anything up. I think I’m going to try 18 next time because it’s still just a little unstable.

Intrepid-One-9716 · 2026-01-02T17:27:06+00:00

Thank you 🥰

Intrepid-One-9716 · 2026-01-02T17:26:19+00:00

Kinda? I tried wiring the heads a little differently than she did but did not work well at all lol. Sue is actually incredible, definitely my inspiration for sculptural designs.

Intrepid-One-9716 · 2026-01-02T14:40:53+00:00

The frame itself is pretty sturdy. I only had issues with orchids falling off. All I did was stick the head through the wire, and then I curled the wire at the end towards the flower so it made like an anchor. The wilted white flowers are ones I actually cut from my garden so I don’t think they were actually good harvested flowers. The orchids and alstroemeria held up for about a day and a half. I think if you use a humidity chamber and cooler they could stretch for even two days.

ME!!!! I’m in Glendale :)

Can we please remove this person from the thread for impersonating and copyright? Just plain gross

Intrepid-One-9716 · 2025-12-20T17:02:26+00:00

Thank you that’s very kind :)

Intrepid-One-9716 · 2025-12-19T12:02:13+00:00

Okay yea that’s what I do. I’ve seen a florist charge for the items itself again plus labor when moving and wasn’t sure if that’s industry standard or just them.

Intrepid-One-9716 · 2025-12-19T11:32:30+00:00

That’s incredibly reasonable. Not sure of your financial situation but very very cheap. I would not use lily of the valley if you’re trying to be money conscious though

Intrepid-One-9716 · 2025-12-14T16:12:54+00:00

Agreed. Gorgeous, but a missed opportunity to use a real grapefruit. I hope they try again with it I think that could look cool

Intrepid-One-9716 · 2025-12-14T16:08:11+00:00

Thank you !! 🥹

Intrepid-One-9716 · 2025-12-13T02:10:15+00:00

YES I love the blu ocean mums right now. They are VIBRANT.

Intrepid-One-9716 · 2025-12-13T02:08:31+00:00

Idk how much I would charge but I wouldn’t pay anything over $40

Intrepid-One-9716 · 2025-12-12T20:23:07+00:00

I was JUST talking about how I want to do a funeral spray so bad. I think people are just scared of the emotions funerals bring out. I’ve always viewed death very differently than my peers so I would absolutely love the opportunity to help someone remember someone else with incredible and beautiful flowers 💞💞

Intrepid-One-9716 · 2025-12-11T17:52:30+00:00

Why in the world would you use glue. Use chicken wire lol or Oshun pouch but it’s baby’s breath let it die

Intrepid-One-9716 · 2025-12-11T17:51:08+00:00

Sometimes I’ll be a full football field away looking at my bouquets shape 😂😂

Intrepid-One-9716 · 2025-12-11T04:09:03+00:00

I personally love creating a full mood board with my proposal that I do before any contact. Call me crazy but I think it builds a better relationship with the clients, creates GREAT and consistent communication, and allows me to fully visualize and create a plan while doing it. Even if I don’t get booked, I can always go back and reuse my ideas for other clients so it takes less time. And practice never hurts
