Golden Flora

Ever wonder what really happens when you order from 1-800-Flowers or FTD? Spoiler: They take your money, keep a big cut, and then pass the order to a local florist for way less than what you paid. The result? You get a smaller, lower-quality arrangement than if you had ordered directly from a florist. Skip the order gatherers, support small businesses, and get the flowers you actually paid for😘🌸 #supportsmallbusiness #apexflorist #1800flowers #ftd #ncflorist

I had a blast teaching a wreath workshop at @downtowncarypark last night. Is it just me or has downtown turned into a Hallmark movie this season?!😍 #wreathmaking #carync #downtowncary #downtowncarypark #caryflorist

Wedding professionals. Prom parents. Kind friends- this is the video you need to bookmark: How to securely attach a boutonniere! 1. Place boutonniere in the middle of the lapel 2. Turn the lapel over. Insert pin from the back into the base of the flowers (usually the thickest part of the stem) then come back out on the underside. 3. Repeat at a criss cross diagonal. 4. Time to dance🕺🏼💃🏼🕺🏼💃🏼🕺🏼 Special shout-out to @anhpointphotography for suggesting this video!

Watch the next minute and 30 seconds to learn how to elevate your bud vases💃🏼 Sometimes bud vases can look cute with just one single stem, but the idea that that’s ALL they can do is outdated. Instead, try: 1 piece of greenery 1.5 to 2x as tall as your vase 3 flowers at 3 different heights (biggest bloom should go at the base of your vase) Now you have a miniature arrangement that looks a little more special than a single stem. Sound off with any questions in the comments OR send me a picture of what you make!! (This is the perfect arrangement for some backyard bits!)🤩 #caryflorist #floristtips #floristtipsandtricks #raleighflorist #flowerarranging #budvase #downtowncary #carync

Super easy way to spruce up your roses when you buy or receive them from somewhere other than a florist⬇️ Pluck off the guard petals! These are the outer layer petals that most often get damaged during transport from the grower to the seller. Note: If you start plucking, and the layers continue to be bruised/damaged, the rose is old or poor quality. Happy plucking🥀 #floristtips #howto #flowertips #roses #caryflorist #carync #raleigh #morrisville #apexnc

A glimpse into my flower arranging class! Classes are booked for the summer, but I'll be posting more for the fall soon!😊

How many colors should you include in an arrangement? Short answer: 3!! (Or less) Any more than that and your arrangement starts to look rainbow-y or like it was found at a grocery store. Elevating your arrangement means also including shades of each of those 3 colors. It softens the look and creates congruence 💚🌴🌲🌿🥑🐢🌳🧤 Also remember that rules are made to be broken😉 #colorpalette #floralarranging #floristtips #cary #caryflorist #raleigh #morrisville #raleighblogger #caryblogger #carysmallbusiness
