AITA for teaching brides to DIY their wedding flowers? Another florist in my comments thinks so. But then there is Katie, who said: “working with a traditional florist would not have been financially possible to achieve what I wanted.” DIY wedding flowers are not for everyone. Nobody is saying they are. But for the couples who want to do it, who are capable and just need guidance, we are here. And they are saving thousands. joonflowershop calls it a scam. Our couples would disagree. #diyweddingflowers #diyflowers #diywedding #flowertutorial #diywithconfidence

Hands-free, loose and airy bouquet with summer pastel flowers. Most of the flowers are from a local flower market @connecticutflowercollective with a few from my small garden. Working with smooth, slender, healthy stems makes the bouquet making process much easier, and helps the bouquet feel lighter and softer 🌿 Flower materials: – dahlia – lisianthus – delphinium – phlox – tweedia – didiscus – strawflower – snapdragon – cosmos - zinnia Floral Tool: StemSlider bouquet tool (rose gold) . . . . #stemslider #stemsliderbouquet #handsfreebouquet #weddingbouquets #bridalbouquets

When the design gets bigger… the mechanics need to step up too. Loved seeing how @jennyt.floristry used OASIS® Wedding Belle Grande Holders to create a double-holder base for this cascading bouquet. It’s such a great reminder that strong design always starts with a strong foundation. From merging two holders into one base, to reinforcing for stability and keeping everything clean and polished… every detail matters when you’re working at this scale. Because it’s not just about the flowers—it’s about building something that can support them beautifully. Have you ever tried a double holder setup before? #floralmechanics #weddingflowers #floraldesign

If there is one thing that really irritates me, it’s a sloppy bouquet. I see so many florists sharing “supported” bouquets built with cut stems, chicken wire, or hidden structures. And every time, I think the same thing. It tells me you can’t make a bouquet away from your workbench. It tells me you rely on support instead of technique. And it tells me there’s a reason you’re not showing the stem side. The top might look beautiful. But I can already picture what’s happening underneath. Stems crossing in every direction, awkward angles, no real structure holding it together. And this matters more than you think. Your bride will struggle to hold it comfortably. It won’t look good in photos, because yes, photographers do capture the underside. And when you need to adjust something on the go, you won’t be able to. A well-made bouquet should work with you, not against you. You should be able to build it anywhere, with the stems you have, quickly and with control. After 15+ years of weddings, I can promise you this: things don’t always happen at your workstation. You adapt, or you struggle. So to the newer florists coming up: learn a proper spiral. Let go of the chicken wire. Step away from the bench. You don’t need the crutch. And once you trust your hands, everything changes. You’ll thank yourself later. - #funkybird #floristinflorence #florenceflowerschool #tuscanyflowers #bruidsboeket

Did you know that steaming artificial flowers brings them back to life? It's true! Our team member Brie was busy this week steaming a new shipment of real-touch hydrangea bunches, and the transformation is incredible. A little heat from a handheld steamer smooths out wrinkles, fluffs up petals, and makes faux flowers look fresh and full... just like they were meant to! Why steam your faux flowers? 💙 Removes creases and flattened petals from shipping ✨ Restores shape and fullness 🌿 Makes them look fresh and realistic 💚 Works on most high-quality artificial flowers Whether you're arranging them for the first time or refreshing older pieces, a quick steam makes all the difference. Come see our gorgeous faux flower selection (freshly steamed and ready to go!).

I still see this mistake everywhere—even from experienced florists. Here's the thing: how you soak your floral foam directly impacts whether your flowers last through the ceremony or start wilting during cocktail hour. And it's not about soaking longer. It's about soaking correctly. Floral foam bricks have perforated holes on the bottom for a reason—those channels are designed to pull water up through the entire brick. When you place the foam gently on the water's surface and let it naturally sink, those channels do exactly what they're supposed to do. But when you push the foam down (which I see constantly in DIY videos), you're forcing air into those channels. The brick looks wet on the outside, but inside? Dry pockets everywhere. Your stems land in those dry spots, and no amount of misting later will fix it. This is the kind of practical knowledge that separates arrangements that last from ones that disappoint. Whether you're a bride doing your own florals or a florist building your skills, this one technique will change your results. The correct method: place your brick on the water surface, perforations down, and walk away. Let gravity and design do the work. Fully submerged, fully hydrated, fully ready. Here's what couples should know: when you hire a florist who obsesses over details like this, you're not just paying for arrangement skills. You're paying for flowers that still look stunning in your sunset photos, not just during getting-ready shots. DM me CONSULTATION if you're planning a Houston event and want a florist who sweats these details so you don't have to. #floraldesign #weddingtips #eventflorist #houstonweddings #floristlife

A florist hack when you need extra height use bamboo skewers to extend your stems and lift your design while keeping it airy and elevated. Push skewer into stem and then place into place or even tape it to stem. If you are concerned that stem might not do well - put in water tube and tape it to skewer then place. 12 allium schubertii 2 bunch tobacco 4 bunch muted yellow butterfly ranunculus 5 stems white poppies 4 bunch white dianthus chinensis 2 long garlic 10 garlic pieces 10 quail eggs A florist hack #floristhack

✿ Bloom 5 — Behind the design A heart-shaped bouquet built from faux twigs. If you want faux flowers to feel natural, start with movement. Let the twigs curve. Bend your stems. Layer blooms at different heights. And don’t skip the small details — tiny flowers and greenery are what make an arrangement breathe. Spring bouquets shouldn’t sit flat. They should move🤍 #100bloomschallenge #springbouquet #fauxflorals #floraldesign #flowerarrangingtips
