Design for the sake of designing and let the magic happen.

Introducing our biggest ordering option ever: “In Volle Bloei” which literally translates to “in full bloom”.

The name comes from the Dutch still life exhibits and honours the art that flowers can be.

To quote Ariane van Suchtelen, curator of the Mauritshuis museum of art, “Flowers […] represent the transience of life, itself.”

My most recent wedding bouquet … versus my very first one.

Those wilted foliage leaves. That single, sad garden hydrangea. Those poor snapdragon buds that never had the chance to bloom. Those flowers never had a hope of greatness (and we thank them for their sacrifice).

This is exactly what I mean when I said that pretty mediums hide poor technique. Is the first wedding bouquet I ever made objectively pretty? Sure. Flowers are pretty.

Is that wedding bouquet good floral design? Absolutely not. It was really, really, REALLY bad.

Scrolling through my old feed is humbling and hilarious and humiliating. But there’s a point in mid 2022 where you can start to see the creative bones of what Green Bee would become. And that’s the point where I really started wanting to understand my craft. It’s when I realized that if I wanted to do this full-time, I needed to stop *pretending* that I knew what I was doing and actually learn the skills necessary to do floral design well. I got tougher on myself. I got tougher on our staff.

I had to stop expecting that the inherent beauty of the flowers themselves would carry my business forward.

And let me tell you, my relationship with floral design changed for the better.

Because the moment I separated my finished florals from my self worth and instead looked at my work with a critical eye, I stopped being afraid of taking risks and learning new things. The only way to propel yourself forward as an artist is to get over your own ego and need for validation.

Floral designers put their work out into the world for better or for worse and we have to be willing to accept that we’re not owed accolades on anything we do. (And don’t come at me for the irony of my posting on socials for the likes 😅.)

Designers are propelled by the evolution of their craft. It’s why we’re tough on ourselves.

So that our standard becomes the work in the first photo.

No more salal. No more baby’s breath.

Just an elegant glass vase filled with floral magic. ✨

Present Design (photo 1) —> Past Design (photos 2 + 3)

The first photo is the most recent wedding floral installation. The second two photos are some of our first.

And WOW past Brittany thought she was really doing something there (she really wasn’t 🥴).

Present me would say some pretty harsh stuff about past me’s designs. And rightfully so.

❌ Overstuffing mason jars because more is obviously better (spoiler, it’s not).

❌ Shapeless design because I hadn’t yet learned the math and angles of proper floral design.

❌ Not enough focal flowers on a greenery heavy install because I used the budget elsewhere and ended up not having what I needed to do the arch the way I had actually envisioned it (clients loved the flowers, but that’s not the point).

Goodness, the lessons I’ve learned.

I learned how to wire spray roses and ranunculus so the heads don’t pop off boutonnieres.

I learned how to arrange large focals and spikes so that they don’t look like deer anymore (you see it, right?)

I learned how to properly cost wedding work so that arbour florals don’t look sparse (straight to flower jail for this one.)

Because you deserved better.

Because I deserved better.

Because the flowers deserve better.

Calls for improvements to industry expectation aren’t an attack. They’re an invitation: to florists, farmer-florists, and to anyone wanting to find their footing in the industry; learn the craft and keep pushing yourself because 3, 5, 10 years later, your skill should be improving.

And if you’re in the industry and read that and see it as a personal attack - that I’m calling you out specifically, that’s on you. My floral manifestos are about me: where I’ve started and where I’m going and how our standards can and should be changing — how our clienteles’ standards can and *should* be changing.

Regardless of whether you follow from our immediate community, as fellow designers/flower farmers, or from our flower farm’s Youtube community, I want you to know I’m not going to sugar-coat industry expectations so feelings don’t get hurt.

Because I’ve been the bad designer. And I wish someone had told me.
