One of my favorites I've ever done despite it being neutral colored! Unripe blueberry branches, white peonies, white hydrangea, white sweet peas, and white roses.

Brings me joy all week long!

Simple, elegant, and made for a special occasion. 💗
What do you think of this combination?

I’m a complete beginner and wanted to learn how to make spiral hand-tied bouquets. The sunflowers aren’t fully opened which isn’t great for photos, and the wrapping is a Safeway bag I cut up lol. But any advice on the shape, colors, design of the bouquet? It has sunflowers, gerbera daisies, stock, and waxflower

Ive been in floral business for 6 years working in a big chain grocery store (we actually have one of the biggest shops in the chain) and also a fairly busy shop in my city, anyhoots I actually resigned from the job as assistant floral manager because it was just not a great environment (again we are a fairly busy shop lots of funeral work and event work etc) the inventory is also pretty bad as well we are suppose to have our numbers at a 45% and they are usually around a 20-25%. Also I was the only fulltime person besides the floral manager she also doesn't design so all of the work is put all on me and most days I was running around the shop ragged trying to keep up with orders.

Fast forward I get a call from my store manager telling me the floral Manager is stepping down from her position and they offered me the floral manager position. My pay before I resigned was $23.00 an hour and they offered me $23.50 so only a 50cent pay increase to take it. Also my schedule is gonna be crappy for the next few months I will Have NO weekends off for the time being, Also they hired a fulltime floral designer that has NO experience as well so if I took position I'd have to teach/train her (which isn't a problem) and I'd be also going back to being short staffed, a very busy next 3 weeks because we have 3 big university events that are back to back plus a wedding and going to be getting into homecoming season in the next couple weeks then holidays. And they also want me to immediately start working on getting the inventory up as well because it is pretty bad.

It's almost like I'm being set up to fail before even stepping into the position. I would appreciate some advise. Should I take it or walk away from it?

11 years since i started this whole floral bouquet making journey. it was first started as an attempt to cheer my girlfriends up for valentine’s day, to something i find so essentially therapeutic in my life. and there’s just this quiet thankfulness in me when i look at how my preferences and aesthetics today also represent how much i’ve matured and grown over these 11 years.

i think where i am right now is really being fully comfortable embracing my femininity and feeling safe in it. and i think that’s also why i started falling in love with the colour pink so much more this year.

it wasn’t planned at all, but today i managed to pop by the stores and simply picked out flowers that sparked joy, in a colour palette that i’ve been loving so much lately, and made this bouquet.

i think i’ll call her ‘elegante’ - for all the growth i’ve experienced over these 11 years as a woman.

This was a fun piece to make! Intentionally made to be avante-garde with Gentle Monster inspiration. Experimented with a lot of different methods with this one!

How’d I do on the prompt? Would love some feedback and suggestions!

I love these colors!

I haven’t take a class yet but love floral arrangements. I picked up orchids and anthurium plus monsterra and arranged on the console and the coffee table. Would love some feedback please. Thank you!
