As a florist, you try to minimize the amount of extra flowers you have after a wedding. This helps keep the price down for your client and also increases the profit you can make on an event. Inevitably you will have some left overs. I tend to buffer a little so that I can account for any potentially damaged flowers that arrive. When you do find that you have few extra you can create great little give away pieces for family and friends. I delivered to a wedding on a Sunday afternoon and my aunt's birthday dinner was on Sunday night. I was able to give her a great little arrangement with some of the extra flowers I had. |
