Description
A vague order is the reason so many florists spend the day before a wedding redesigning around whatever turned up. Stems short, lengths too short, blooms already open, a substitution nobody agreed to. Almost all of it traces back to how the order was written.
The Floral Order & Wholesaler Sheet fixes that. It shows you how to turn signed-off designs into stem counts, how to write each order line so a wholesaler cannot misread it, and how to set substitution rules in advance so a swap on delivery day is a conversation you already had.
What is inside
- How to build an order backwards from the finished designs, plus your buffer allowance
- Seven rules for writing an order line a wholesaler can fill exactly
- A substitution plan with three levels: accept, ask first, never
- Minimums, bunch sizes and order cut-offs, and how to record them per supplier
- A lead time planner for standard stock, specific cultivars, imports and volume orders
- A printable order sheet with variety, length, maturity, bunches, stems and pricing
- An order header you can copy straight into an email
- Word-for-word scripts for reporting a shortfall to a supplier and to a couple
- A five step delivery check-in process and a printable check-in table
- The habits that make you the customer who gets the good stems in a tight week
Who it is for
Wedding florists opening or tightening up a wholesale account, studio managers who place orders for someone else’s designs, and stylists who buy flowers for their own installations.
After you use it, your deliveries match your orders, your shortfalls get resolved the same morning, and your costings finally reflect what you actually paid.
