I'm glad you found this helpful! I love the San Francisco Flower Market. I used to live in San Francisco. Such a fun place! If you're interested in learning more about local sourcing, I offer a class called Growing Your Business with Local Flower Sourcing. It's a great resource for florists that want to source locally. thegardenersworkshop.com/product/review-florist-school-online-growing-your-business-with-local-flower-sourcing-with-ellen-frost/

Thanks so much!

Glad you found it helpful! Do you make alot of big urns?

@ellenfrostflowers no, actually, I'm very new at this. I really enjoy watching and learning.

This is such a great question! I would definitely start setting up meetings to meet florists in your area. Be sure to reach out to home based, studio and brick and mortar florists. It's helpful to start to build a portfolio of your work to be able to share with florists you approach. This could just be an Instagram page. Do you have a IG for your flowers currently?

so glad you found it helpful! if there other behind the scenes videos that you think would be helpful, let me know!

Thanks so much for watching!

So glad you found it helpful. Do you make alot of bud vases?

@@ellenfrostflowers I've mostly done mason jar arrangements but want to start doing bud vases.

We let all of our flowers air dry in our studio. Once they're dry, I cut them into small pieces for the confetti. Do you do any flower drying?

YES!!! Angling is the KEY! Hope the video was helpful!

I hope you'll give them another try! The variegated Solomon's Seal is a favorite and for sure can be a sub this time of year!

Amazing! I love to hear it! THANKS so much for watching!

@@ellenfrostflowers I look forward to every video. Our local area is having a flower show, and I am entering some arrangements one is a mason jar. These tips will up my game

So glad you liked it! Do you ever design in mason jars?

@@ellenfrostflowers Yes, but just recently. I’ve grown a lot of cut flowers this year but I’ve needed more help designing flower arrangements! I was very pleased with the arrangements I did today. I felt much more knowledgeable! And I was very pleased with the results! Thank you again!

@@ellenfrostflowers Yes! I’ve just started!

So glad you found it helpful!

Thank you SO MUCH!

I just added the retail price to my Cost and Materials sheet. You can see how much it cost to make and how much I sell it for retail.

Thanks so much! So glad you found it helpful!

I still love blue mason jars too! very classic!

Glad you think so! Do you ever make arrangements in mason jars?

I'll add it in! great idea!

So glad you found it helpful! Do you ever make arrangements in mason jars?

@@ellenfrostflowers Yes, I do, and now I realize that putting the foliage in first for a base is a key part. Thanks.

Thank you! 😊

Dusty miller is great! Especially for cool color palettes!

Sometimes! it's a cute look! Usually I remove it and give the lids and rings away to canners in my neighborhood!

Thanks for watching!

I like the lazy susan but I feel like I use it more for footed vases and larger arrangements. Good luck with the BBQ wedding! What kinds of flowers are you using?

@@ellenfrostflowers Good to know just curious! Thank you so much, I'm in WA PNW so I still have porcelain ranunculus blooming well! I have fragrant sweet peas, sweet William, queen Anne lace chocolate mint and Veronica's. 🙃🥰

Thanks for watching! Do you ever make arrangements in mason jars?

@@ellenfrostflowers I have a lot of mason jars but somehow the notion that it's passé has kept me away from arranging in them. I know it shouldn't. And your video inspired me to go ahead and use them! Love your flower arrangement videos using locally sourced flowers. Would love to learn how to get a longer vase life.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!

I love them! they are so whimsical and fun!

totally agree!

so fun!

Totally! That's what we used it for! it was really fun!

I think so too! I've been loving them!

I agree with the exception of maybe a focal flower in a bud vase arrangement with a few smaller flowers and foliage.

YES! that's what we've been talking alot about is SCALE!

Thanks for watching! I'm hoping to do a few more of these for other key years in the business. Next up is the year I bought a building!
