1. Why should I choose you over another florist?

Not many florists can offer what I can. As a silk florist, I can offer your flowers that will never wilt, that will never die, and that can remain a keepsake for a lifetime. In addition to that, in many but not all cases, I can offer you a much more affordable price than a florist working with live flowers. Also, reference silk vs. live flowers in my blog.

2. Does the florist have photographs or a portfolio?

Yes,…

Forever & A Day Décor is pleased to announce the release of a new type of flower girl basket. This innovative design allows the flower girl to hold the “basket” just like the bride and bridesmaids hold their bouquets.  The hollow center offers storage space for the petals, making it possible for the flower girl to sprinkle petals as she struts down the aisle.

Being chosen to be a bridesmaid is an honor and should be treated as so. The bride has chosen to entrust you to become a part of her special day; it is your responsibility to help make it as special as she deserves. Some brides will delegate jobs where others may have their maid (or matron) of honor delegate the jobs.

If you are part of the bridal party…

Flowers have a language of unspoken words that although silent rarely go unheard. The ambiance certain flowers induce is undeniable. Whether choosing them for their vibrant colors, soft tones, or the underlying meaning they hold, it is irrefutable that flowers are a tool of human expression. No wedding decoration can claim to have the mass abilities of flowers. Flowers, whether elaborate or simplistic, add a unique quality that no other decoration can measure up to.

Whatever…

The potential flowers hold is held captive by the boundaries of your imagination. When you think of flowers at a wedding what is the first thing you picture? Is it a beautiful bouquet or maybe a breathtaking centerpiece at the reception? In deed those are a common uses of flowers at a wedding, but make sure you don’t limit yourself to those things. Bouquets are widely recognized and world renowned, but don’t forget flowers aren’t just for bouquets.

Accessories hold a wide range of…

There are many advantages when purchasing silk flowers instead of live flowers.



•The selection of flowers is not limited to season. This means the options are basically endless.



•A silk arrangement is less fragile. Although both should be treated with care, the additional sturdiness obtained with a silk arrangement offers a little bit more forgiveness.



•Real flowers deteriorate and wilt. Silk arrangements however will not wilt, will not die, and…

Don’t get lost or overwhelmed in the details.

When you are planning a wedding, different things will inevitably get stressed to you as more important than others. It is easy to get lost in all the details. Should I personalize the favors?

Construct a timeline with deadlines.…

As a new business owner I find that I am constantly learning new things. No amount of schooling can fully prepare you for everything you will face once you take the step to create your own business. I often find myself researching online, reading and learning from others, and teaching myself helpful ways to improve things such as productivity, marketing, and efficiency.

Despite whatever amount of  infallable knowledge or talent you possess it can still be disheartening when you…
