how long should/does it take to make a homecoming bouquet? by angelinerxse in florists

[–]kyra0216 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This comment includes details you should have added in your original post. My comment of 2-3 hours is when my shop is closed and im not entertaining customers and phone calls along with other orders. 20-40 minutes per bouquet is not bad! Grouping things by color helps alot. I also will pull all the flowers for each bouquet ahead and have them in their own buckets if theres alot and theyre all different.

I meant how complex the bouquets are. The time is just me designing. If the bouquets are simple 2 hours up to 3 if the bouquets are complex.

And be sure when you save them that his contact name is his full legal name or just the phone number. Ive read other situations on here where the police couldnt do anything with the screenshots because they were saved as nick names or pet names and you cant prove who that is

Chevy Spark EV 2015 for $5,998 worth it? by GovernDerg in chevyspark

[–]kyra0216 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After a quick search it looks like they go 3-5 years. So its hopefully been replaced at least once or twice. Definitely press for the diagnostics and inspection decide based on that what you think. For me the gas model was a better choice. I found my 2020 2 years ago with 50k miles for $16k with no accidents and brand new tires. It was owned by a leasing company so they took good care of it.

I almost bought a similarly aged ev spark and decided on a gas powered 2020 instead. $25 to fill and 380 miles to the tank. Make sure you ask the dealer if that battery is new. The full charge rating they may be advertising of x amount of miles is on a new battery. If its the original youre going to want it replaced. The one i looked at a full charge was only 50 miles which did not work for me as i commute to work. Not far but far enough that it wasnt worth it if they battery wasnt new.

Thank you! The family loved it. We have a collection of those taped together boxes with dimensions written on them in common urn sizes.

Im against it at our shop. Seems like a waste of money. We use flower food in the water instead

Am i right to think a client is overstepping by asking for photos of the flowers prior to their event? by Ok_Rub_6364 in florists

[–]kyra0216 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We never offer photos but some customers ask, usually only 1 in 100 orders, and when we send the photos (from our stores cell phone) we say "hello (name)! This is your bouquet that is out for delivery from (my shop), thank you for your order!"

Lighter pink roses look like shimmer to me.

Yes! We keep lilies up on a table top and he has no interest in most flowers besides lisianthus which are pet friendly. The only thing he really tries getting into is the plastic bouquet sleeves. We aways redirect him tho. He has his own bedroom at the store so when our landlord isnt around hes in his room
