As the event season approaches, it's time to start thinking about how to make your gatherings truly unforgettable. Whether you're planning a wedding, corporate function, birthday celebration, or any other special occasion, incorporating flowers into your event can transform it from ordinary to extraordinary. At The Real Florist, we're here to share why flowers should be a key element in your event planning and how they can elevate your experience. 1. Set the Perfect Ambiance Flowers have an incredible ability to set the mood and create a welcoming atmosphere. From the soft elegance of roses to the vibrant energy of sunflowers, each bloom can evoke different emotions and themes. Imagine walking into a venue adorned with lush floral arrangements that perfectly complement your event's theme—it's an experience that will leave a lasting impression on your guests. 2. Personalize Your Event One of the most exciting aspects of floral design is the ability to tailor arrangements to reflect your personal style and preferences. At The Real Florist, we work closely with you to understand your vision and create custom arrangements that align with your event’s theme, colors, and overall vibe. Personal touches like bespoke floral centerpieces or customized bouquets can make your event uniquely yours. 3. Enhance Photographic Moments Flowers are not just a visual delight; they also play a significant role in photography. Beautiful floral arrangements provide stunning backdrops and focal points, enhancing the visual appeal of your event photos. Whether it's a bouquet for the bride, a centerpiece for the dinner table, or floral decorations for the venue, flowers can make your memories even more special. 4. Freshen Up the Space A well-chosen selection of flowers can bring freshness and vitality to any event space. They add a natural element that contrasts beautifully with modern decor and can even help to mask any less desirable odors (carpet after a few too many dance floors spills). Fresh flowers create a sense of renewal and can make any venue feel more inviting and vibrant. 5. Create a Sensory Experience Flowers are not only visually stunning but also aromatic. The gentle fragrance of fresh blooms can enhance the sensory experience of your event, adding another layer of enjoyment for your guests. Imagine a venue filled with the delicate scent of lilies or the sweet aroma of peonies—it's an experience that goes beyond the visual. 6. Symbolize Meaningful Moments Different flowers have various meanings and symbolisms, and incorporating them into your event can add a layer of significance. From symbolizing love and passion with red roses to representing new beginnings with lilies, flowers can convey messages and sentiments that resonate deeply with you and your guests.

Our Luxe Mother's Day arrangement was a HIT!! BUT...Was it profitable? Mother's Day is one of the biggest events on a florist’s calendar. The shop is buzzing, orders are flying in, and emotions are high, but once the last bouquet has been delivered and the petals settle, there’s one crucial task left: Review your numbers. As tempting as it is to breathe a sigh of relief and move on, this is the most important time to stop, reflect, and document EVERYTHING while it’s still fresh in your mind. Here’s why it matters : When you take the time to evaluate what worked (and what didn’t), you’re setting yourself up for a smoother, smarter, and more profitable Mother’s Day next year. The notes and insights you capture now will become your roadmap for success. What you should be recording : Best sellers:  What products flew out the door? Slow movers:  What didn’t sell as well as expected? Profit margins:  Which products or packages gave you the best return? Sales performance:  Did you hit your goals or fall short? Calculate the percentage increase or decrease  in sales compared to last year. Team feedback:  Was your staffing level right for the workload? Marketing performance:  What strategies drove orders—email marketing, social posts, local ads? Customer feedback:  Were there any common praises or complaints? Operational wins and challenges:  What processes worked well? Where were the bottlenecks? Set KPIs ( Key Performance Indicators ) for next year Once you have all this information, use it to set meaningful goals for next year: Revenue targets Profit percentage goals Stock and supply ordering limits Turnaround times for pre-orders and delivery Customer satisfaction benchmarks By setting these KPIs NOW , you’re not only building a stronger business, you’re saving yourself time, stress, and money in the future. Final Thought: Floristry is creative, emotional, and joyful—but it’s also a business . The more data you collect and analyse, the more confidently you can make decisions. So take an hour. Grab your laptop (and maybe a leftover sweet treat from the weekend), and start!! Next Mother’s Day, you’ll be so grateful you did!

It’s not just about the beauty of a bouquet—it’s about what those blooms say. They say: “Thank you for every late night, early morning, and all the love in between.” “I see you.” “I appreciate you.” “You’re blooming amazing.” Flowers carry meaning in a way words sometimes can't. Whether it’s the soft sweetness of a pastel posy or the bold joy of a vibrant bouquet, they reflect Mum’s unique personality and the love you hold for her. And when those flowers are grown and designed locally? That love grows even deeper. Why Is Local Support Important? Supporting local florist isn’t just a feel-good moment—it’s a powerful choice.
