A Fresh Flower is a home based floral design studio. I receive many questions about what this means. Simply, I work from a studio located in my
home. Our flowers are brought in fresh for
each order since we are a studio instead of a traditional retail flower shop.
I typically order my
event flowers about a week prior to the event and they are delivered 1-2 days
before the event date. When I order
flowers for a wedding, I place the order 3-4 weeks before the wedding. I order them that far in advance to insure
that what I have specified to the bride is available and if not, it gives us
time to select new options.
I have all the
flowers brought directly to my home studio from floral wholesalers. I use various wholesalers, local and in
Indianapolis, depending on what flowers I need and how many I need. I don't really have a favorite, I use
whomever can guarantee the best price for the best quality. I do a lot of research before I make my
orders so that each client gets the very best options. Quality is the number one priority and so far,
all of my wholesalers have been amazing in that department!
My decision to make my business home based was a no brainer
for me. My priority is my family and
working from home allows me to be with my kiddos and also have a job that I
love! Working from home allows me to
keep my prices lower, helping brides and corporate clients stay on budget
without sacrificing style and quality. There may come a day when I need to work outside of my home, but for now, it works well for me and my family. I hope this gives you a little bit of an insight into what a home based studio is like!
