Description
Every florist has quoted a bouquet from a photograph, then discovered at the market that the photograph held sixty stems and the quote assumed thirty. Recipes fix that. Once a design is written down by role and count, you can order to it, cost it, hand it to an assistant, and rebuild it next season without hunting for the original image.
The Floral Recipe Card Set gives you the counts, the substitutions and the timings behind wedding work — as printable cards you write on.
What is inside
- How to build a recipe in six steps, from finished size to honest make time
- Starting stem counts for eleven designs — bouquets, buttonholes, crowns, centrepieces, bud vases, aisle meadows, arbour sprays and full installs
- The five roles in a design: focal, secondary, filler, foliage and accent
- Substituting by role, with the four questions that keep the look intact
- A substitution table you complete for every event
- A blank recipe card covering palette, counts, mechanics, timing and cost
- An event order sheet that converts stems into bunches with a waste allowance
- A prep timing guide and the wedding week clock, from conditioning to install
- A sixteen-point conditioning and prep checklist
Who it is for
Wedding florists building their own recipe library, floral designers training staff or freelancers, and stylists who need to brief and check a florist’s quantities.
After you use it, your bucket orders match your designs, your quotes stop leaking margin, and your team can build a piece to your standard without you standing over them. When the market lets you down, you already know what you are substituting and why.
