Big Events, No Chaos: How I Produce Large-Scale Weddings


Listen Later

Ever wondered how to execute a $30K–$35K large-scale event with only three weeks’ notice?

In this episode, I’m breaking down exactly how I approach high-revenue, high-pressure floral events — from concept to production schedule — and why mastering event logistics can completely change your income ceiling.

Because here’s the truth:

If you want to pay yourself $100K as a florist…
You need to know how to confidently say YES to big events.

And not panic when they land in your inbox.

In This Episode We Cover:

🌿 1. Start With Feasible Design

When time is tight:

  • Choose containers you can source quickly
  • Confirm rental availability early
  • Leave room for substitutions
  • Protect quality (always order samples if needed)

Transparency builds trust. Flexibility protects you.

💰 2. Price for Profit (Not Ego)

Before anything:

  • Factor in rental vehicles (U-Haul, mileage, fuel)
  • Account for additional labor
  • Include processing time
  • Charge for delivery properly
  • Collect a substantial deposit

Their urgency is not your emergency.

Big events require big down payments.

📋 3. Reverse-Engineer Labor

If 40 centerpieces take 45 minutes each:

That’s 40 hours of production.
Plus processing time.
Plus install time.
Plus teardown.

You cannot “midnight warrior” your way through volume.

You build a team.

🌸 4. Build Recipes Late (Not Early)

Don’t lock yourself in too soon.

Instead:

  • Conceptualize first
  • Write recipes closer to production
  • Check market availability
  • Source strategically

Flexibility = power.

📦 5. Production Prep is Everything

Before flowers even arrive:

  • Pull rental inventory
  • Order candles + supplies
  • Soak foam in advance
  • Prep totes for stacking
  • Create production + install timeline
  • Map delivery schedules

When event day comes, you execute.

Not scramble.

Why This Matters

Large-scale events can fund your year.

Three or four of these?
That’s your salary.

But only if:

  • You understand logistics
  • You build formulas
  • You price for profitability
  • You lead like a CEO

Confidence in event production changes your revenue ceiling.
