        • Why she wanted her work to be a layered sensory experience — beyond flowers

        • The power of intentional branding and hosting a strategic rebrand launch

        • Shifting to higher prices, fewer weddings and a deeper client experience

        • The importance of a strong, updated portfolio when increasing your prices

        • Creating a full sensory experience at weddings — from flowers to linens and candles

        • Hosting a rebrand party - How inviting the right people made a big difference

          • 🛠️ Mentorship & Coaching

            • Jennifer believes in community over competition — one person’s success doesn’t diminish another’s

            • Professional consultation is common in every industry — it should be normalized in floristry too

              1. Authenticity is Everything
                2. Staying true to your own creative vision and voice is key. Don’t chase someone else’s version of success.

              2. Put On Your CEO Hat
                3. It’s not just about the craft — understanding numbers, pricing and strategy is essential to longevity in business.

                          • Com.Post - Hannah & Fiona talk about the success of sustainable florists who are composting their floral waste

                            Hannah and Fiona talk to Deirdre about how Florists can turn their floral waste into compost easily.

                             

                            The COM:POST system takes Florist's weekly green waste and turns it into reusable compost. This helps to reduce the florists environmental impact and reassure their customers of their sustainable practice.

                             

                            There are 4 stages

                             

                            Stage One: The Florist.

                            We provide all our florists with compostable paper sacks which they in turn fill with green waste - either from conditioning or when they return from a wedding or event.

                             

                            Stage Two: The Collection.

                            We regularly collect the full sacks from our florists, either via our wholesaler partners or using our fleet of vehicles.

                             

                            Stage Three: The Composter.

                            We work with composting partners across the UK. It takes up to 16 weeks to turn all green waste into rich, nutrient filled compost. The compostable sacks are a valuable addition as it helps with the process.

                             

                            Stage Four: The Grower.

                            We pride ourselves with creating a closed loop system as all compost produced by our system is returned to growers for food and flower production.
