WHAT WE ARE ABOUT:
The purpose of “The Workshop: Pricing and Design” co-hosted by Sweet Root Village and Amy Nicole Floral is inspired by our shared passion for profitability and great design! This is a no-frills, no fluff, nitty gritty workshop packed full of value and loads of information!
Our time together will be split evenly discussing profitable business practices and hands on design of centerpieces and bouquets. We casually refer to our education approach as “fire hosing you” because we have SO MUCH to share in our collective decades of education and experience. We are confident that this will be a valuable investment no matter what your design level or years in business.
Rachel and Lauren from Sweet Root Village will be leading and teaching all about the business of flowers! You will be guided through a classroom style session that will cover pricing flowers for profitability, practice hands on recipe writing, staffing, workflow and so much more. The SRV ladies will be answering your burning business questions in a tell all Q&A where we will dig in to your individual business questions and nothing is off the table! You will learn loads of actionable tools and ideas to apply to your business right away.
Amy Balsters of Amy Nicole Floral will be leading and teaching her in depth approach to artfully inspired loose and airy floral designs. You will be guided in two hands on design sessions learning Amy’s techniques to achieving lightweight, artful, hand tied bouquets and lush centerpieces full of airy movement. Amy’s comprehensive approach to design is rooted in key fundamentals and she is passionate about empowering you to better understand your work and learn new ways to improve your design techniques. Key themes covered are; how to design more intentionally and with profitability in mind, techniques to working with color, how to not overstuff your designs, how to avoid bulky bouquets and designing with loose and airy movement.
THIS WORKSHOP MIGHT BE FOR YOU IF:
– You struggle knowing what to charge for your floral designs or finding
that you are just generally not profitable
– You are overspending or overstuffing arrangements
– You are struggling with ordering and sourcing your materials
– You struggle with making arrangements with loose, light, and airy movement
– You struggle with adding or balancing color in your designs
This might not be the best fit for you if you – don’t like making money and seeing
your business succeed enough to live a balanced life. It might also not be
the best fit if you prefer a more open handed approach to ordering and designing
that doesn’t involve structure or recipes (this is the key profit in our humble opinion).
If you don’t want to explore design styles and color theory and learn how create well
balanced floral designs, again – maybe not your cup of tea, that’s totally cool man.
