FLOWER ARRANGEMENT TUTORIAL FOR BEGINNERS 2022 th-cam.com/video/58Oa8mEECDs/w-d-xo.html

[@annpierce9039]

I absolutely adore your arrangements. They are unique, beautiful, and fun. It gives me ideas for a new floral design business I am starting in my retirement.

[@syddd9188]

THANK you . Being a native / black person in the floral world its surprising the lack of color in this industry. I love love watching your videos and you have helped me so much thanks SIS.

[@Flowersbyalexis]

THIS!! 🥲💕 is why I continue to make videos and do what I do!! Its important to show that you can do anything you want in life no matter race or gender you are. I’m so glad I could help inspire you! It’s messages like yours that really make my day ✨

[@alannahatkins9230]

Stunning ❤️

[@Flowersbyalexis]

Thank you so much for this sweet comment!

[@lucianacrupi2386]

Beautiful!

[@flowerflutter7772]

Yay! I really want to be a florist and this video helps 💕

[@xauceamani]

Hello,
I was watching a flower wrapping video. As my love for flowers have grown and the thought to try out creating my own bouquets for those I love. Especially to have cool ways to wrap them as stores tend to just do the simple wrapping.
Today, as I was watching a wrapping video. I got this spark to own a flower business. Creating bouquets for people and selling. The excitement and joy at the light planning I have. Even a name and slogan in the works!
Went on tiktok to start my research on those having businesses and how they've started. First video I watched, the lady recommended your channel. In response to knowing how to price. Haven't yet watched that video, as this is my first one.
Anywhoo, this got length but thank you.
For making videos and sharing your knowledge.
Muaah Much Love, X.A ❣️

[@Flowersbyalexis]

Aw thank you so much for your sweet comment!! I hope it works out for you! If you have questions DM me on Instagram @flowersbyalexis. I also have a free pricing guide linked on my pricing video to help break it down further. Good luck to you 🌸

[@tinaholbrook9719]

Oh my goodness! I love the colors and design you used! I am not a fan of roses, but that color is stunning. You definitely have an eye for how to work with colors and textures. So gorgeous! Also, I love that you included ranunculus. They are my favorite flower ❤

[@Flowersbyalexis]

Aw thank you so much for your sweet comment 🌸 I’m glad you loved it!

I would love to see more than everyday arrangements and bouquets. Would love to see you work some sympathy/funeral designs like casket sprays and saddles.

[@Flowersbyalexis]

Absolutely!! I do so much of that stuff now at the shop I work at, I can definitely teach you a ton!!

Would be good each time you do a bouquet just to mention the approx cost of stems, what they cost you and how much you charge, and a final costing for a finished item.

Hi! I love watching your videos! Thank you so much for sharing this and all of the info that you share! Would you PLEASE do a video that covers how to price everything? And will you share how/where to get a wholesale pricing list? I'm a new flower farmer/florist and need help with pricing! THANK YOU!! 💐😀

Yes!!! this is a highly requested video I need to get around to making that

[@virginiastephen6310]

@@Flowersbyalexis thank you!!!🙂

[@kimbrocato6724]

I have a suggestion . . . How about a small lazy Susan to put your vase on so you can easily rotate to work all sides of the arrangement.

[@doratheacarpenter9424]

Good job

[@Flowersbyalexis]

Thank you 😊

[@joelsteinberg321]

Would love a tropical design

[@Flowersbyalexis]

Will do!

[@KeeshaJ]

Loved your video thank you for sharing your knowledge. My question is with the use of the chicken wire how would you instruct the customer to care for the arrangement over the next week or so. Are they still advised to trim the stems? Thanks so much.

[@Flowersbyalexis]

Excellent question! I would advise them to change the water daily. Because the flowers are “locked in” the chicken wire, it would be too challenging to have to pull out every stem. I hope this helps

[@KeeshaJ]

Thanks so much for responding, that does help!

[@myeshiarhodman8755]

Hi Alexxis, this was a beautiful video I have learned so much! I do have a question. How do you know what flowers are in season? Do you do lots of research and just learn as you go? I wanted to learn how to make flowers arrangements but if a flower isn't in season I want to be able to let them know right away instead of not knowing or forgetting to tell them.

[@Flowersbyalexis]

Hi there! Honestly over time working at a flower shop I just learned what’s in season.
I came out with a flower identification book that tells you how to pronounce the flower, it gives you the time of year they are in season in as well as what pairs well with each flower. I’ll leave a link here so u can check it out for yourself 🌸 amzn.to/3zD3kIg

what you usually do with the tape on the vase once you finished

[@theoilymamatribe7168]

Do you have an Amazon wish list you could share of all your fave things you use as a florist?

[@tracyseneca5334]

Beautiful arrangement ! I noticed you didn't speak about "flower food". What are your thoughts on this?

[@Flowersbyalexis]

I don’t really think it’s all the way necessary 🤫 as long as your water and vase/ bucket is clean your flowers will be fine

[@Speakupok]

Where do you buy your ceramic vases from?

[@Flowersbyalexis]

I get my vases from Accent and Decor

[@sagehoff969]

I have a question about the chicken wire. The chicken wire has the pros of helping to figure out the structure of a design, it isn't bad for the customer's health, and it doesn't get everywhere. But one of the reasons foam is used (if I remember correctly from class) is that it helps keep water in for the plants. So would it be like a vase for the chicken wire, where you just fill up the container with water? Or is there wet tissue paper or something in the bottom?

[@PigwigginsFigs]

Yeah there's water in the bottom. The chicken wire is purely structural so the flowers don't flop about in the container. Really the only benefit of oasis (floral foam) is there's no loose water so spills won't happen, but it's really not worth the giant list of negatives..

[@sagehoff969]

@@PigwigginsFigs thank you for that!

[@ghddoo]

Yes how to price correctly video please

The monthly subscription- speaking to the $9.99 subscription; does that include faux floral design classes?

[@deborahdaniels2175]

How much (on average) does an arrangement like this cost to make?

[@deborahdaniels2175]

for anyone else wondering I found another one of her videos that addresses this question - th-cam.com/video/BrbmrsIK8sY/w-d-xo.html

[@Flowersbyalexis]

a general rule for flower pricing, if you have an $80 flower arrangement at retail price, you want to spend 30% of that in flowers/materials. so that would be $24 for materials and flowers.

[@debbieward2869]

When is the next class

[@Flowersbyalexis]

I am coming out with a flower school that I plan to release soon, sign up on my website to get updates about it 🥰

good day, what is the color of the carnation? is it pinkish? thus it goes well together with yellow? thanks
