Flower tips from Spitz & Peck

Yesterday's Bridal Show at The Woodlands was a great success - thank you! During the show, I had the chance to chat with Mike from Spitz & Peck regarding FAQ's Florists get. For those of you looking for a few great ways to save on flowers, here you go!

1. Go seasonal! Of course we live in a world where peaches are available in NY 12 months a year but take into consideration the fact that they have to be flown in from somewhere where they are in season (usually half-way around the world). By selecting a flower that is in season here, you can save considerably.
2. Don't be afraid to use branches, feathers and other "filler" - fewer flowers but an equally full arrangement will save you a pretty penny.
3. Communicate (I say this all the time)! By communicating with your florist (and any vendor for that matter) they can either demonstrate some flexibility or make a suggestion to get you where you need to be. And remember, if you ask for something, the worst thing that can happen is you are told no.

In case you missed yesterday's awesome Bridal Show, save the date for our next one at Water's Edge on April 21st from 3-7pm. Great opportunity to see me and Spitz & Peck!
