Unique Wedding Floral Decor

Q. Describe the most common types of jobs you do for your clients.

A. We do a lot of personal flowers (bouquets and boutonnieres), ceremony decor (big arrangements in the church and pew decor as well as reception centerpieces.

Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

A. It is always helpful if you already know the colours of your wedding, your favourite flowers, style and budget. That way we can make suggestions that fit your budget.

Q. What questions should a consumer ask to hire the right service professional?

A. The experience of the professional is always important. Also ask to see a portfolio of previous work and check out the website, facebook and google plus pages to get more info.

Q. Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?

A. FlorUnique gives exceptional attention to every detail. We devote our attention to only one event per day and if it is a big event, only one event a weekend. Since we are not an everyday florist we use all the flowers that we bought for the wedding to decorate the event. So you always get a little extra.

Q. What do you like most about your job?

A. To stand back and see all the decor from the event coming together. The most beautiful picture is when everything is in place and you see your happy bride walking down the aisle. Very satisfying!

Q. What do you wish customers knew about you or your profession?

A. You are not only paying for the flowers used in your floral designs but also for the labor which is the most expensive part of wedding flowers.

Q. How did you decide to get in your line of work?

A. When I came with my husband to the US I did not have a green card and started doing classes to keep me busy. I got hooked on the flower classes and started out by doing flowers for a friend's wedding. After working a few years in a flower shop I decided to started my own bussiness.

Q. Do you do any sort of continuing education to stay up on the latest developments in your field?

A. I continue seminars and workshops at the Southern California School for Floral Design to stay up to date with the newest trends. I also do tons of online webinars (The Knot, etc) and tons of research.

Q. What are the latest developments in your field? Are there any exciting things coming in the next few years or decade that will change your line of business?

A. Right now the trends in wedding flowers is still the vintage and travel theme. More organic and interesting elements are used in the bouquets and with the trend of "green weddings" we expect more natural (flower pods, succulents) and different accessories (feathers etc)

Q. If you were advising someone who wanted to get into your profession, what would you suggest?

A. Be prepare to work long hours and remember it is hard work but very satisfying.

Q. What is your greatest strength?

A. Flexibility. If you want to be a great designer you have to adopt to changes all the time since an event never goes a 100% according to plan.

Q. Write your own question and answer it.
