WORKING THOSE ANGLES 💁🏻‍♀️⁠ -⁠ One

WORKING THOSE ANGLES 💁🏻‍♀️⁠
-⁠
One of the many things I love about floristry as an art is how different our designs look from different angles. These table florals are actually the same ones I posted on Monday (have a peek if you missed it! 👀) but from above.⁠
-⁠
As a Florist, it's my job to make sure all designs look perfect from every angle. When making the designs in my studio, I make them on a turntable so I can easily see them from the sides and back. At a venue, myself and the team squat behind seats all around the reception to check each guest has the perfect view 👌🏻⁠
-⁠
After that, we disspapear for a few hours of rest and food, smiling to ourselves as we leave and hear guests commenting 'I've never seen wedding flowers like this, they look amazing!' 🥰⁠

PSA: NOW FULLY BOOKED FOR JULY & AUGUST 2021 🙌🏻⁠
-⁠
I really didn't think I'd be saying this in my first Summer doing this full time but postponements have actually meant that I got fully booked pretty early. ⁠
-⁠
I'm now beavering away behind the scenes to get things ready for wedding season after heartbreakingly packing it all away last March, not knowing for how long. ⁠
-⁠
Iris & Co has changed a lot since then, pivoting left right and centre to make sure the bills are paid and I was able to stay open. Most of my days now are spent getting houseplant stock, adding them to the website, packing orders, writing care cards etc and the endless admin that comes with an eCommerce store. Come wedding season, that's all going to have to change as the vast majority of my time I'll be flowering in the studio, up ladders and in gorgeous venues. ⁠
-⁠
I've been automating as much as humanly possible so that the shop stays running in the background, without me having to do too much effort. So far, I've automated my Google & Facebook/Insta catalogues (I literally used to manually add each product to both websites, then make changes, manually 🙄) now the websites talk to each other and everything magically appears! Labels now (almost) print themselves and I've got a decent stock of house plants, dried flowers and pots that should keep me going. I can't automate packing the boxes, which would be the dream but it does mean I can still keep running the shop, which I do enjoy whilst building beautiful weddings at the same time. ⁠

HOW READY ARE YOU FOR SUMMER? ☀️⁠ -⁠ And I

HOW READY ARE YOU FOR SUMMER? ☀️⁠
-⁠
And I don't mean in a hideous 'must lose wiright, bikini body ready' nonsense. I'm sure that like me, this summer will be all about soaking up that feeling of being in a pub garden, sunnies on, cold drink in hand. Or BBQ's round a friends house and picnics in the park. All those things we've always taken forgotten are going to feel so, so good. ⁠
-⁠
To me, everything looks better in the sunshine, colours are brighter, the shadows are beautiful and the sunsets are stunning. The flowers are starting to pop open, sharing their colourful interiors as I walk to the studio, along the river. It's filling me with a hope I had lost over Christmas when things were at their hardest but it's back and it's not fading 🥰😀⁠

HAPPY FRIDAY 🤩⁠ -⁠ Leaping into the weekend

HAPPY FRIDAY 🤩⁠
-⁠
Leaping into the weekend with this STUNNING image, I just love everything about it! ⁠
-⁠
I adore colourful weddings, they're the perfect excuse to get bold and brave and bring your personality through. They're the most fun flowers to choose too, picking from nature's loudest offerings and making them all work beautifully together.⁠

🧁CAKE MAKERS - THIS ONE'S FOR YOU 💁🏻‍♀️⁠
-⁠
I've just written a blog post for you guys and I'm actually pretty excited about it! A big thanks to Sabina from @cakeenvyy for inadvertently giving me the idea for it! ⁠
-⁠
I've taken 3 of the most fabulous boho and modern cakes from events I've been part of and have dissected the floral additions to identify all the fresh flowers and dried flowers on them, with links to my shop so you can buy and style your own. ⁠
-⁠
I think we take for granted sometimes that not everyone knows the names of all flowers (even I don't!) so hoping this will be a helpful resource if you've ever asked someone where they get that 'fluffy stuff' from. ⁠
-⁠
You can find the full blog post over in the link in my bio!⁠

AND THEY'RE UP! 🌾⁠ -⁠ Thanks for everyone's

AND THEY'RE UP! 🌾⁠
-⁠
Thanks for everyone's feedback on the dried flower bundles, I've now added them to the shop. I've kept them in small bundles so that you can mix and match different styles. ⁠
-⁠
If you're a stylist, stationer or cake maker, these are a great way to start working with dried florals and adding them to your designs and photos. ⁠
-⁠
I've got spiky thistles and lots of fluffy dried grasses and everything in between so head over to the link in my bio to see them. ⁠
-⁠
I've not yet got the fabulous @sideyclarkphoto to take shots of them yet so its my terrible studio photography for now! As ever, just DM or email if you've got any questions.⁠
