Florist News

i've just read Floralprides post and i don't think it says what i think you feel it says. Perhaps you have taken it the wrong way? As she said, she didn't quite know how to put it but i didn't get the impression she was trying to be sarcastic. She wasn't to know whether the current contributions where from working florists or not.
Just my views

I agree with fly, If floralpride was trying to be sarcastic she wouldn't have said she recommends the magazine would she?

If you want sarcastic ask me a question instead

That post was from last August, and at that time Cath was asking for people to come on and be the experts.
I dont think that you were on board with Cath at that time.
You were one of the 'real florists' she was looking for.
My reaction was positive to Cath, and I take exception to your comment towards me.
Read the post again and you may realise what I was saying to the other florists on here was a positive towards Cath

Thank you fly and JM for your support

Thank you all for your comments - everyone has been very positive.

I'm sorry if there has been any confusion over the postings - it's definitely my fault for using the same thread when there was a lapse time!!! It's so easy to get these mails out of sequence!

I did appreciate that Floralpride's post last August was an open, genuine enquiry at the time. In fact I've got a feeling that it was one of her posts that drew me to your fab site at the time when I was listing sites that had mentioned the magazine.

A BIG BIG thank you to Kate for your glowing endorsement - it's great to know that you are getting a good response back from the magazine and your contribution has been much appreciated - please keep up the great work.

Thank you to everyone who is posting - please keep going - don't forget to add your signatures including your website address to your posts.

Sorry for the lengthy email - i have rambled on a bit!

I don't mean this as an insult but it's all very well us answering questions about flowers for weddings brides may have, however at the moment there seems to be quite a trend of brides doing their own flowers...I don't know if I would like to pay to give my advice. Have you any feedback from florists saying that being a part of your magazine has helped them gain more wedding orders? Or is it just a way for you to make your magazine look better while making a few quid on the advertising?

Honestly please don't take this post the wrong way but I'd like to know all angles before considering it...

I have the same concerns, I went into the site to see what it was all about and I read a post from a brides mother "doing her own buttonholes" wanting advice, that was as much as I wanted to read. If brides want advice why arent they asking the florist that is doing their flowers? thats what i dont get so this leads me to beleive that its 'have a go' people picking our brains

That was my concern too Apple...

Im tempted to post "ask your local florist" on all the posts

Only joking, wouldnt do such a naughty thing.......probably

I read through some of the Q & As on website. Is it beneficial to florists for a reply on DIY wedding bouquet to, admittedly in brief and without any true insight as to how to prepare etc., basically tell them how to make a posy.

It has been my understanding of Floristnews posts that genuine florists have been having quite a hard time competing with 'one and all' to get brides to entrust an important part of their very special day to someone qualified and experienced.

I would have prefered the reply to add that on such a special day, bearing in mind the photos will be with you forever, a florist will be able to provide exactly what you require, so no stress and disappointment.
