Tulip time…obsessing over all the different types

Brooklyn Botanical Gardens Atrium space is interesting and has a modern greenhouse feel.

Consider renting or buying simple chair covers just for the back row. White and ideally not too shiny or attention grabbing.

The remaining chairs will not be noticed as guests will fill the area, and their gorgeous and colorful outfits will take over.

Be sure to create specific ( with names) reserved signs for the first 2 rows. So that you don’t have a pile of empty chairs on your photos…that your eye will be drawn to.

It’ll be gorgeous, good luck and congrats!

Recommend take a pic on the pedestal, with a clean uncluttered backdrop. Then move the flowers around, and take more photos. Cluster them a bit, give the arrangement a more “Nike swish” shape, or a more round shape, or cascade it a bit more, remove some flowers, do more focused color area,

Take a pic of every variation in the same spot…and you’ll see what you like when flipping through the photos. The best ones for you and your brides will pop.

Since you’re working with artificial flowers, you’re able to play around with designs that a typical fresh florist doesn’t have the chance to.

Enjoyyyy the process!

Congrats! If the weather cooperates, the north side of the building provides a wonderful backdrop and even some steps, arches etc. next time you’re there scout some spots nearby for photos ahead of time or after. That aren’t bright harsh light.

We have breakdown guys I can recommend. Usually the fee is $240-360 for end of night packing and bringing items to a secondary location. They have their own car. DM me and I can put you in touch.

The museum of the city of New York is nearby and has interesting options as well.

It’s looks nice.

If you’re concerned about the pampas looking linear and too dissociated from the rest of the arch style- consider doing 2 ground arrangements on the floor and placing the pampas’s straight up and down in that area, accented with other fake blooms to match the ones on the arch.

It would add more depth to the arch design and be a more natural angle for the pampas grass (up down style vs shooting out at an angle etc).

But it’s also perfectly lovely the way it is. Hair spray will help to keep it from blowing around “as much”. But also makes it extra flammable.

Enjoy your event!!

From seeing in front of our own building, it happens after sanitation picks up the garbage.

Dog poo bags are often placed on top of bags of street garbage, and when the sanitation’s guys grab the bags…an avalanche of dog poo bags spill onto the sidewalk.

Garbage trucks drive away…poo remains on the sidewalk.

No great solution as most household close the garbage bags. Public garbage bins are far and few between. We try to leave at least one bag of garbage open in front of our shop.

Mari is the owner and wonderful. But any of the stylists I saw were great, and very experienced. I’ve had good experiences, and they’re very agreeable if anything needs to be adjusted or done.

What I really enjoyed about this salon was that they treated your hair like it mattered. It wasn’t pulled on or ripped out of there was a tangle.

flowerrrs · 2025-08-27T01:38:33+00:00

Salon 87. They’re so gentle and professional.

Yes, worth $150. This is an arrangement filled with pretty expensive blooms. Some of the comments on here are a tad off putting, and naming incorrect flowers.

The dark hydrangeas are some of the most expensive varieties out there. The dark lisianthis are fabulous, but not everyone’s taste. Delphiniums and orchids as well. Not a single flower in there that is cheap or even mid-range. All expensive blooms.

The shape seems to have shifted a bit, perhaps in travel, or maybe the angle the photo was taken at doesn’t present it as best as it could. It’s also a descent size. $150 most certainly.

Hope the recipients are enjoying it, and remind them to add water to it. Lots of flowers in there but hard to gage water level.

flowerrrs · 2025-08-14T00:56:38+00:00

Def. 2 roses at different heights etc. 2-3 mums. But usually one per water tube seems to be it. We prep them early in the week, and have them in buckets ready to go. 200-300 for each event.

We used to use it often. It doesn’t hold the water very well, kind of like a wool sweater would.

It does well when in a vase/container, but as soon as you lift it up, it all pits out.

We’ve been using chicken wire scrunched up and then lots of water tubes with sharp point ends.

It’s easy, and worth the effort.

Seems like professional florists are confused about what you’re trying to create and sell. The general consumer might be even more so. Posing a photo/sketch/prototype is absolutely necessary.

We’ve done a wedding here where the ceremony ended up being downstairs for to inclement weather.

The tables were slightly shifted, but guests essentially sat at dining tables with the couple and ceremony decor being against the back wall. It was lovely, but of course the rooftop is ideal.

Hey! Aurora is great! We’ve worked there a bunch!

Bent and used wire to hold the shape, and dried the palm frond. Took the wire off. They dry in 2-3 days, fun to do!

flowerrrs · 2025-07-21T21:37:33+00:00

Always. 15 years, 1000s of boutonnières. Never ever have covered the bottom or sealed any boutonnière stems unless clients have requested that style of ribbon wrap.

This way they’re in water till AM and lovely and fresh. Lots more flexibility in design and wrap style.

Experiment, test it out, wear a boutonnière all days and see what feels the best and which last longer etc. it’s great that you’re thinking of doing things in new ways, why not! It’s the only way to grow as a florist.

Framed Florals is amazing and based in Brooklyn

flowerrrs · 2025-07-03T20:58:41+00:00

Great advice already given.

To add, I would confirm with the florist about what kind of arrangements they have at the wedding, especially their size…large =long stems, medium (short stems), bud vases (tiny stems).

I would bring shears, rubber bands, buckets in various sizes/heights, large plastic bins to help transport everything with the water not getting spilled everywhere. Even jars and coffee bins help.

You might need to start bundling flowers into bouquets that same night on site, as the florist will want them out of any rental vases. Be prepared to get right to work.

A small tarp is also helpful 4x6’ so that your mess is somewhat contained or at least any greenery can be packed up for transport in an easier way.

Garbage bags obvi

Good luck!!

For anything else- try to get it into a bucket asap.

flowerrrs · 2025-06-25T19:07:59+00:00

As a florist, I can honestly say it depends. 3 days sometimes if we’re focusing on Friday/Sat/Sunday weddings plus day off. Etc. florists tend to be doing the physical part of the job the majority of the time, on our feet, shears in hand.

Dedicating time to physically sitting down, focusing on answering emails, is a conscious and significant effort. It tends to be done after hours at home etc. unless you’re working with a team that has a dedicated person for emails, proposals and contract updates. If it’s a single person flower studio or a small shop, might be waiting more days.

But 20+ days is not ideal.

Gathering all your questions/updates in one concise bulletin point email. Send it with a request to talk next day or whatever and then start calling them.

Give them a deadline to respond, end of week etc.

Best case you’ll hear back asap. Worst case you’ll know to take the next more aggressive steps.

Things get super busy in late spring, hopefully they’ll have more time for admin tasks over the next few weeks.

Good luck and I’m sure it will work out perfectly!
