A 27-year-old woman left her corporate job to pursue floral design full-time, building a successful business that earned over $175,000 in its first year, with clients including celebrities like Sabrina Carpenter and Katy Perry, largely thanks to social media promotion and her passion for flowers.
According to a floral designer, the key to keeping flowers fresh in a vase is to change the water every two days, along with trimming the stems and keeping the vase clean. Placing a vase of flowers near fruit, especially bananas and tomatoes, is not recommended as the ethylene gases released can speed up the aging process of the flowers.
To create a beautiful bouquet, take inspiration from a garden and arrange stems of varying heights and shapes. Avoid common mistakes such as using a vase that is too small or too large, overcrowding the flowers, using too many colors, and neglecting to trim the stems.
