Flowers so goude · #1 (**permalink**) 22-08-2008, 04:50 PM

Hi Guys

There's a new bridal shop opening near me and i've been asked for some flower samples. What would you put in the window?. Would you just do samples of bridal bouquets, or would you go down the route of doing pedestals etc. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanking you guys in advance.

Be quite careful with this one. They dont tend to look after them and they often sit in direct sunlight and then look rubbish cos they dont think to change them. I'm inclined to think they wont want to pay you much either. If I ever do anything for the bridal shop round the corner its because I have stuff left overand want to get rid quick.

This is difficult....do they want you to promote your florists, if so they won't expect to pay for them....but as Alby said, they tend to sit in the sun, and look dusty and crap quite quickly, so not a good advert for you........I am assuming we are talking silk....if not, then fresh would have to be charged.......you are adding to their window dressing...and then they can order whatever they like......

I used to do a few silk bouquets every couple of months for the bridal shop near me. Actually got a good few orders for fresh and silk from it.
Only things I would say are

Use very good quality
Check every head is ultra tight
Make it wired. Posy holders do not hold up to be used as footballs by bored kids.
Go and check/change regularly.
Make sure you give them loads of your cards,

Otherwise

Good Luck
