Smile Vases for hire

Hi all, I am very to the site,but I have been looking at it now for the last three hours, I can;t believe how good it is! I have been in the business for over 20years now and it is so good to speak to other people in the trade and get their views and tips on all aspects of floristry.I'm also new to all this high tech so try to be patient with me.look forward to hearing from you all.

Hi there Ruscus, glad you joined us

The site can be quite difficult to work at first. I think your question is about vase hire and if it is a good idea?? I hire vases out with designs in them for table centres and i consider them a very good profit maker. Low in labour and high in cost. Just my meagor (sp) opinion.

Bit of a tip, if you have a question you will get more response by starting a new thread in the appropriate section so this would be florist shop section. click on that and at the top click on new thread and then put your question in the title and then we can all see if we can help

Hi Ruscus

Nice to meet you, tell us more about yourself - we are a very nosey bunch here but very helpful.

We too hire vases out, filled, for weddings and events. We charge a nominal fee but put in our T & C's that if any are broken or stolen then we reserve the right to charge the bride or company the full retail value.

Does that help?

I always cost the vases in the quote for the wedding. if i get them back then thats an added bonus for me but if i dont then thats fine too. Always go back next day, just to check are they there or not lol. The bride most times asks anyway can she give them away afterwards.
