Spoiling my mum

My mum really enjoys having a florist for a daughter! I've spoilt her this Mother's Day with two bouquets - one I made on work experience yesterday and the other is from me and my siblings. Unsurprisingly she loved them both!

Mother's Day orders

I'm still training as a florist, so for big occasions like Valentines and Mother's Day I don't expect to receive any orders. However, for this Mother's Day I did receive a few orders so I was very pleased with that! And one was even a repeat customer - I made a teacup arrangement last week and she liked it so much that she asked me to make another one! I also made another teacup and a bouquet.

The girl who ordered the bouquet - her mum is a florist so I really wanted to impress with that! She gave them to her early and apparently she loved them, so that's pretty great.

I was also struggling to find a way to transport the teacup arrangements, but I had some of these bags for putting bouquets in and they're the perfect size to carry a teacup!

Nan's birthday teacup

My facebook page was live for all of about 2 hours before I got my first order! Goes to show how much impact social media has. One of my work colleagues ordered a teacup arrangement for her nan's birthday, and here is the result.

Teacup arrangements

I've finally gotten round to setting up a facebook page for my flowers - find it at https://www.facebook.com/hannahlouiseflowers. For my first post I decided to promote my teacup flowers, as they're my favourite arrangement to make and I think they look so lovely. I've done them for birthdays before but they would also make a nice alternative to a Mother's Day bouquet.
