Switching the look of my feed for a moment for earth day . I am grateful for all things provided to me by the earth. Well isn’t that just about everything? Today is a day to praise the mountains, the oceans, the wind and the rain. The sunrises and sunsets, and all the earths wonderful creatures! The places I have traveled and the nature I have yet to see. The nature that will never be seen by anyone. Natures great wonders and waterfalls, canyons and lakes! A day to give thanks to our home, a home we cannot live without! It is very important to protect our planet. After all, we only have one Earth. Have a great day, get outside.
Ps my video is from the Susquehanna river on one of my many summer evenings . Its one of my favorite places to go to be outside with family and friends. Those of you that know me, know I’m a river rat and proud of it. #suskey #suskeysunset #riverrats #susquehannariver
Posting a bouquet video just because. #haveahappyday #yorkpaflorist #eventflorist #weddingflowers #dahlias #anenome #bridesbouquet
That one time where I deconstructed a bridal bouquet from a wedding show to talk about pricing . Pricing talk is then #1 conversation when planning a wedding. People have no idea on how much floral costs and we understand that . Each and every stem has a cost , greenery, filler, blooms and luxe blooms. In this video if you can imagine the average of each stem costing around $6.00 ( no matter how small or big ) . Garden roses and peonies are about $10-$15 a stem . I believe there about 8-10 of those blooms in this bouquet alone.
Then there is labor added on . We add on 30%. I think this is where most creatives lose. Florists are most often willing to sacrifice their labor wage to design something above what was paid for .
Choose your vendors wisely. Talk openly about your budget . Priorities are different for every client . Some girls are all about the bouquets, some it’s the ceremony setting , for others it’s the wow at the reception.
Florists are people pleasers, that’s for sure ! We work on the weekends giving up time with friends and family . We work late nights finishing projects . We trouble shoot on site . We are magic hahah( well almost ).
Well it’s official we are SOLD OUT !!!
