This is just a small snippet of the many things it takes to be a small flower business owner. I am stripping the leaves off of each individual stem. I am not just a flower prepper. I am also a - marketing strategist - event scheduler and planner - designer - employer - accountant - admin - stick-shift driver - 1,000 random small things. Stripping the leaves off of every single stem is just one small part of the job. I do it so my customers have a long-lasting bouquet. Thank you for your business and for allowing me to be these many, many things. It is such a fun adventure! #flowers #flowersofinstagram #flowerstagram #florist #florists #bhamflorist #flowertruck

Have you ever wondered what this box is in the back of Fern the Ford? It’s actually a cooler! 🤯 When I started this truck a year ago, after doing a few flower events in the heat I knew I needed something to 1. transport the flowers in and 2. keep them cool while they travel and between events. I commissioned my amazing step-dad to help me with this project. If we’re honest he did most of the work, but I measred a few things and cut a few things! Lol. Here’s how the process went: 1. We insulated the inside of the truck bed where the cooler would sit so the weather wouldn’t effect the temp of the box. 2. We built a wooden frame inside the truck bed, then insulated and water-proofed the inside of the frame. At that point, we had an insulated cooler! 3. We then added some deco board to the outside to make it look nice. 4. Added a lid on hinges, and then put tin on the lid to make it look like a cute lil’ house! I put buckets of ice in there, and it keeps the flowers nice and cool until I put them out for display. Does it work perfectly? Well, it’s no Yeti. But it certainly helps! 😁 Shoutout to my step-dad who I couldn’t have done this without, and couldn’t do life without either. 🧡

We welcome fall with open arms and fall-inspired flowers. 🧡🎃🍂🍁 #flowers #flowersofinstagram #flowerstagram #florist #florists #bhamflorist #flowertruck

5 Main Flower Types for Your Bouquet

Sometimes when people approach my flower truck, they have a look on their face like, “…where do I start…” My encouragement is usually, “Just pick what you like!” I mean, after all, it’s hard to make flowers look ugly, ya know? 🤷🏼‍♀️ But for those who need more practical steps, let me tell you the 5 main flower types you need to keep in mind when building your own bouquet. 💐 1. Filler: something wispy and airy. In this bouquet it’s babies breath. Think of this as your canvas. 2. Main/Focal: something big that gets your attention like a rose, gerber daisy, or dahlia. 3. Support: these are usually round in shape and smaller than your focal flower, like a carnation or spray rose. 4. Line: think “height”! In this bouquet, it’s the white flower in the top right corner called “Veronica.” It gives the bouquet some height and makes it dynamically interesting. 5. Greenery: you can never go wrong with eucalyptus. Everyone loves it and it smells like Heaven. 🤤 a few sprigs will do. And there you have it! You’ve made a beautiful bouquet! Next time you stop by Fern the Ford, use these steps to build a sure-fire beauty that you can enjoy or gift with confidence. ❤️ #florist #flowertruck #bham #flowers
