Golden Flora

I’ve had so many pinch me moments in the first year and some change of owning Golden Flora. One happened a couple weeks ago when @theknotworldwide / @theknot emailed me. They needed florals for a networking event for wedding professionals (😱) they were hosting and had gotten my name from someone I had sent flowers to (hi Katie!) earlier this year. I was given their branding colors, scoped out the venue online, and rannnn with it. Grateful grateful🧡 (Who is coming back to the @nightingale.rooftop with me to ENJOY IT?! I cannot adequately express what a fun space it is.) #theknot #theknotweddings #theknotworldwide #theknotwedding #weddingwire #hollyspringsnc #hollysprings #raleigh #raleighwedding #tropicalvibes #apexflorist #apexnc #caryflorist #apexweddings #theknotpro #ncwedding #colorfulflowers

I died when I saw this for another creative field so knew I had to make one for flowers😅😅 #kevinhart #lookatme #florist #floristlife #floristshop #meme #valentines #valentinesday

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! If there’s a tip you’d love to see, feel free to comment here or message me🫶🏼 #caryflorist #weddingvendor #boutonniere #weddingplanner #weddingphotographer #weddingday #weddingflowers #weddingtips

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bud vases💃🏼 Sometimes bud vases can look cute with just one single stem, but the idea that that’s ALL they can do is outdated.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!😊

A quick explanation of how to make a handheld bouquet💐: 1. Hold your hand loosely in the shape of a fist 2. Make a greenery nest with angled stems 3. Insert flowers from above maintaining a circular shape and balance 4. Rubber band and trim stems The first (and 2nd and 3rd times) will be wonky and unnatural, but I promise you the more you do it the easier it will get🤓 #cary #raleigh #floristtips #flowertips #caryflorist #apex #morrisville #hollysprings #flowerbouquet
