Taylor & Jim's Wedding

Lane Albers Photography

Every Tuesday this routine occurs and we wouldn’t want it any other way! 🌼🌺🌷🌸🌹🪷🪻🌿

Sometimes it’s just me, sometimes it’s an entire team. Every week is different and keeps us on our toes!

Every Tuesday this routine occurs and we wouldn’t want it any other way! 🌼🌺🌷🌸🌹🪷🪻🌿

Sometimes it’s just me, sometimes it’s an entire team. Every week is different and keeps us on our toes!

As a florist one of our top skills is problem solving. That’s why we carry a Mary Poppins bag 💼 😆

The morning of this wedding my gut was telling me to bring extra supplies just in case.
- bricks
- extra greenery on top of the extra we already had (we brought it all)
- extra flowers on top of the extra we already had (we brought every single stem)
- extra zip ties (on top of the extra that were already in tool boxes)

This was rare but we did it and holy moly thank goodness we did because the wind kicked our butt 😵😬😵‍💫

We had never experienced wind THIS intense.
- we zip tied the aisle trays to the chairs
- we zip tied bricks to the grounded arch trays
- we used all the greenery to hide the bricks/mechanics in the front of the design + added more stems to all the trays because stems were breaking

Right before the ceremony I had an allergic reaction to something I kneeled down into. THE CRAZIEST THING 😱 I’ve never experienced that so that was nutty. Popped a Benadryl and pushed through to get the flip done. ✅

We repurposed the trays in front of the stage, cake and Photobooth area at the reception. We basically had 5-10 minutes to make this happen and FIX everything.

It was all hands on deck and our team stepped up to get it all done. There’s no really training for these moments and when they happens it’s trust, problem solving and clear communication on what needs to be done.

Let me just say that after this flipped I passed out in the car because of the Benadryl 😂 This was a rare one because we were cleaning up at the end of the night. We had an hour and twenty minute drive home at midnight when we finished at the venue.

10/10 wedding though. No ragerts (IYKYK) 😆🤍🌸🌿

A little alstromeria hack for you!!! 🤯

We saw this many months ago. If this was you who shared this or if you know who did please tag them so we can give them credit!

Alstromeria is so underrated. We go back and forth between loving it and hating it. 😆

Let us know how you feel below! ⬇️

@jansjewelsokc 1 1/8 gold cuff
@oasisfloralproductsnamerica cold glue
@sterilitecorporation bin as hydration chamber

Leaf as a base, put glue on the leaf as well as the blooms, wait a few seconds then put your blooms on the base. Repeat the process until you’re done! We start with our base, focal flowers, greenery then filler. You do what process works for you but this seems to work great for us!

Remember to do the shake test! I forgot to film it before I packed them up this time but if you look at our studio highlights I’m sure you’ll see a handful of videos where we shake the hell out of the corsages to ensure they don’t break!

Some of our corsages a few weeks ago BROKE. 😱😳😵😵‍💫 Thankfully I record everything because ya know everything is content. 😆 I watched the video and realized I skipped gluing the bloom and only glued the based on three corsages. It sucked that this happened but thankfully we were there and fixed it right away. We didn’t have glue in our toolboxes because the glue tube exploded from the heat since we keep them in the Betty’s. CRAZY!! We used glue dots and it worked but always check them before packing them up!!

Sharing this because it happens to us all! We all have things happen in the studio, during delivery, on site, etc. just do what’s needed to correct the situation and move forward. Don’t dwell on it because you can’t go back. You can learn from it and I promise you won’t make the same mistake twice! 😉

Corn Flower or Bachelor Buttons. Ever heard of it or used it?

This is one I forget about often but always love it when it pops up! I’ve only seen it in white but am loving the pink! 🌸

Really got stumped on the word handkerchief 😆

Just know brides, if you want something done all you gotta do is ask! Lauren wanted to use parts of her dress and a handkerchief to wrap her bouquet and we said absolutely!

She provided it to us a few weeks before the wedding and it was perfect around her bouquet. We also put some around the grooms boutonnière!

Highly recommend if you have something meaningful you want to carry with you. 🤍

Happy Friday, indeed!! 🌅☀️🌸🌺

Lauren & Josh are tying the knot today and the florals? Whew. Literally a sunset in a design. 🌅✨ Warm tones, juicy textures and just the right amount of drama, this palette is everything we love and more. 🧡💛🩷

But y’all… just wait until you see the entry table install. 😆😂We may or may not have pulled out some wild mechanics to make it work and yes, we filmed it. 👀 Stay tuned!

Rebekah was my floral design teacher in high school and one of the biggest reasons I got into flowers in the first place. To now be collaborating with her on something creative years later is wild in the best way. She started her own embroidery business and has done so many projects for Cone Flower and Simplee Cone already and now we’re teaming up on something super special.

I’ve wanted to do limited merch drops for so long and this finally felt like the right time. Can’t wait to share what we’ve been working on.

We hope you love these pieces as much as we do! You can shop the items through @circletdesignsllc website! This is a limited drop and items will be off the website on Friday at 12PM CT.

You wouldn’t think this would come in handy but holy hell. 🤣

We typically empty our buckets into a strainer that sits in the sink but sometimes the water is in a bucket for less than 24 hours so we just scoop it out and keep going!

We took a rectangle bucket and drilled holes all over the sides + the bottom to make our own strainer. So quick and simple!

Easy hack that I’m sure majority of you know but wanted to share in case it comes in handy for you! 😂

Our dried product was getting out of hand so what did we do?

We found a solution using @sterilitecorporation bins of course!

Laurel came up with a great solution a few years ago on how to maintain and keep up with the amount of dried product we had.

We went through event stem of product. Organizing it by type, throwing away bad product, selling product we would never use, etc.

We grabbed some sterilite bins from walmart (on sale!!) and started to organize everything.
- we drilled holes in the top of the bin for air flow so product wouldn’t mold.
- pampas grass is in an old pikes box because the pieces are so long!

This cut our dried product cost significantly!!! It was truly nuts because we would order the same item constantly just because we couldn’t find it. It was crazy and a complete waste of money. 😑

This is an inexpensive way to stay organized, save money and keep a handle on your dried product!

I’ll link the bins on our story + save it to our “links” highlight!

That post-wedding high five just hit different… until we saw the aftermath 😵‍💫 😵

From perfectly placed blooms to flower carnage by the end of the night 😬 this is your reminder that your florals are here for a good time, not a long time!!!

Design it. Deliver it. Let it go. ✌️🌼

Tag your ride-or-die planner who gets it 🙌

There’s only a handful of planners I’d do certain things for and @sister_events is one of them. 🤍

We’re making scraps into stems. 🌾

Pampas grass doesn’t get tossed over here. Ever.

When we prep stems for bouquets, we keep all the extra fluff in a designated prep bucket and that’s exactly what we use for boutonnieres, corsages, or any of the little extras.

We even make our own stems to add into designs that need a little extra!

Batta bing batta boom 💥

Need a floral bag on the go? We made one and it’s the perfect size and so cute! 🤩🌸🌿

Comment the word “bag” to receive a DM with a link to shop all the things! Make sure you’re following us or it won’t come through.

🌸 This exact bag is from @hobbylobby and I’ll link it in stories!

🌸 We love our zip ties from @harborfreight but I’ve linked from Amazon that work too!

🌸 We have little clear containers for rubber bands, pins, gloves, command hooks, etc since we don’t need the whole package!

Don’t tell me I can’t do something. I’ll take it personally then make it educational 😂👏🏼

Laurel dared me to hold all 200+ hydrangeas and I wasn’t about to back down.

Knowing how to process these babies so they actually last. This is how WE process them! Some people do it differently but this is what works for us!

Remember hydrangeas take in water through their petals!

Hydrangeas need more love than most florals:
✔️ Take off plastic
✔️ Fully submerge the head for 30ish minutes
✔️ Then give it a fresh cut
✔️ Let the head dry completely
✔️ Then put them in the cooler

You can always mist them to help hydrate in addition to them having a water source! We always have our spray bottle with us.

Say it with me: Don’t challenge a florist unless you’re ready to lose 💪🤪😬🤣

Our 4th digital product is HERE! 🎉

Comment the word “RELEASE” to get a DM with the link to purchase.

We just launched our Floral Pick Up & Delivery Release Forms and y’all… this is something I wish I had YEARS ago.

These forms cover all the fine print that protect you as the florist when someone is picking up or receiving a delivery!

THINK: who’s signing, what condition the florals are in, when/where they’re being dropped off, and confirmation that everything looked good. It’s peace of mind in writing!

You can use these with clients, family members, venues basically anyone who’s taking florals off your hands.

No more awkward convos or “he said she said” later.
Print it, save it, use it on every order. 👏🏻

Let’s make a 72 inch table 👏🏻

Problem solving skills 100 on this one y’all!

Remember when we were shooting our corporate designs a few months ago? Well I finally got a chance to edit this and piece it together. It was pretty funny watching it all bad. It came out so good!

We had a lot of doubters but no one would even know we did this if didn’t share the BTS on pulling this off. 🤪

I’ll share some pictures @wildanduntamedphoto took from our shoot. Thankful for her collaboration on this shoot. If you’re local and need a photographer we definitely recommend her! She’s one of the best!

Also, shoutout to @stagecoachsalado for collaborating with us on this one too! Grateful for their team and support for local businesses. We love working with them! We also may be a little bias as they have the best ballroom for a wedding reception! 😉

Thinking about starting a business? 🤔

My biggest advice is don’t do it unless you’re willing to truly put in the work to get to where you want it to be.

It won’t be handed to you. Success won’t happen over night. When things get hard or you feel defeated you HAVE to keep pushing forward. Hard work pays off and having the right mind set is the biggest challenge. You have to know that you’re going to work 24/7 and overcome challenges to get to the next level.

I’ve worked so hard for the past 7 years and continue to do so. Through all the ups, downs, pandemic, slow seasons and busy seasons to keep pushing forward to get to where I want to be.

Work is shifting but in the best way possible! Am I done? Absolutely not! We’re just getting started. 😎

So don’t give up if you’re just starting out. Don’t compare yourself to others or compare Instagram followers. Success looks different to everyone and that’s the joy of owning a business. You get to determine what success looks like to you! Celebrate the small victories and know that you’re not alone. 🤍🌸

Bet you didn’t see that one coming! 😱👏🏻

Yep this design is a mix of fresh and faux flowers!

We’ll say it louder for the florists in the back: it’s totally okay to blend the two when it makes sense for your client!!

Sometimes faux is the more practical (or budget-friendly) option and when you’re using high-quality stems, no one will know the difference.

This design is proof that you don’t have to sacrifice style for flexibility. It’s simple, elegant, and honestly…I’m obsessed. 🤩 😬

Did you know you can open carnations?

Some may know this trick but others may not!

We go through each carnation and open them before designing. Why?

Look at the difference it makes! It’s a HUGE difference and makes a big impact in designs.

Have you tried this trick? What other tricks for flowers should we share? Drop yours below! ⬇️

🌿 Flowers and greenery don’t just come in and go out.

There’s more prep than you think to using fresh product!

Check out what we do with Italian ruscus. Comes 5 stems to a bunch.

We cleaned each stem throughly plus cut off dead leafs, crispy pieces from where berries use to be and more!

We’ll even cut it down and prep it for you for round tables. We do this for round tables when we’re setting up but for pick ups/drop offs we’ll do this as well!

It’s all about giving you the best of the best and ensuring that each leaf, stem, or flower is perfect. 🤩

HOLY SH*T! Her words, not ours 😂

This is the exact reaction we aim for with every order that goes out the door. No filters. No fluff. Just honest, full-body chills when you see your flowers for the first time. 🥶

We pour so much intention, design strategy, and BTS chaos into these moments and getting a text like this? Worth every stem!!! 😉

Tag a florist who knows the feeling. 🤩
Tag a bride who better say this on her wedding day. 😂

🌿 Designing broken arches in the studio has been a total game changer for us! It’s less chaotic, we have all our supplies on hand, and we can take our time making sure mechanics are solid before heading to the venue!

For this install, we built the entire thing at the studio, loaded it into WB in two sections, and then transported it to the ceremony site. Once there, we brought an extra product to fill in any gaps and account for any shifting during delivery (always bring backup product!). 👏🏻 The best part is that it was transported to the sweetheart table during cocktail hour!

Bonus: The client returned it to us after the event! 🌸

🤩 If you’re a florist and have the space try designing off-site! You’ll reduce day of stress especially if you have a short set up window!

For this install, we built the entire thing at the studio, loaded it into WB in two sections, and then transported it to the ceremony site. Once there, we brought an extra product to fill in any gaps and account for any shifting during delivery (always bring backup product!). 👏🏻 The best part is that it was transported to the sweetheart table during cocktail hour!

Bonus: The client returned it to us after the event! 🌸

🤩 From prep to placement here’s a BTS at this 9” lomey arrangement we designed for a recent wedding. You’ll see the build, the transport, and the final setup at the ceremony site.

We love how this size hits that sweet spot between impactful and versatile. Perfect for aisle markers, altars, or small installs!

Remember to have a friend or family member move these pieces to your reception! 🌸🌿

Let’s get real about zip ties!! 😱

I’ve tried a lot of brands over the years, Amazon multipacks, overpriced “pro-grade” ones, you name it. And I always end up right back at @harborfreight . These are the ones we trust for installs, and the only ones we keep stocked in the studio + toolboxes + The Betty’s!

We buy them in bulk and use both black and white because venues are never one-size-fits-all. Black blends in with darker poles and draping, while white disappears on arbors, fences, and lighter structures. It’s one of those tiny details that makes a big difference. 🙌🏻

If you’re still using the cheap, flimsy ones…stop it! These are strong, reliable, and they actually hold up under pressure (literally).

Trust me, your future installs will thank you. 😊

This design started with a flower pull! 🌸

Our rep Rachel picked out a variety of blooms for us to play with and this is what came out of it! 🤩

A flower pull is when you give your rep a budget and some guidance on what you’re looking for and they pull together flowers based on that! We love this because we get to sometimes play with new product and it’s a fun surprise to open the box and see what’s in there!

She pulled:
— Pincushion protea for bold texture
— Ranunculus for softness and color layering
— Kangaroo paw for height and playful movement
— Rhododendron for richness - 🆕 to us!
— Calendula for that cheerful pop - 🆕 to us!

We filled in with nagi, salal, and a few anemones to complete the look.

It’s always fun to see how a good flower pull can spark inspiration. When you start with great product, the design just flows! 🌼

Have you ever created something just to see where it takes you while designing?

I’ve never been more embarrassed on a wedding day than I was a few weeks ago…😣

We made a major mistake and I want to talk about it. We didn’t follow through on something super important to our bride: her mono floral bridesmaid bouquets. Instead, we designed our standard mini versions of the bridal bouquet. WHY? Because mistakes happen and we missed it. 😞

As soon as she brought it up (so kindly I might add), we dropped everything and started pulling them apart to remake them on site. Right there. In the venue. Sweating. 😅

I felt defeated. I was overwhelmed and honestly a little heartbroken that I’d missed such a crucial detail. But it was a turning point.

👰🏼‍♀️Brides, this part’s for you: if something isn’t right on your wedding day, say something!! Kindly, calmly, directly. You deserve to have your vision honored and we can’t fix what we don’t know. Our bride handled this situation with so much grace, and it allowed us to make it right instead of her walking away disappointed. Even though I was extremely embarrassed that our bride pointed this out I was so grateful she did. 🌸 @hanna__low thanks for being the best!!!

Mistakes are inevitable even when you live by systems and organization like I do. What matters more is how you handle them in the moment. ☑️

This one moment could’ve derailed the entire day, but instead it became a trust building moment with our bride. She was thrilled with the fix, and it ended up being the right design choice all along.

So if you’re in the industry, here’s your reminder: you’re going to mess up. Own it, fix it, and learn from it. That’s what builds a reputation that actually matters!

One 6 inch baby’s breath lomey dish coming right 🆙

Create bundles to cover the foam vs individual pieces. You can design a lot faster this way! It took about 5-10 minutes to complete this design!

Remember you always need more BB than what you think! 🤪

The team knows to give me the roses during processing 😆

Does anyone else use this method? If not, you should! 👏🏻

My bad @thegardeniavenue 🙃🤪😂

Had to share to the main feed for everyone to get a laugh lol

But on a different note…we love our Madison’s bridal bouquet turned out!
- We used the single wire method to build the base + whole bouquet. Worked like a charm! 💙🤍🌿

I can’t believe it’s taken this long to do this…

We prep everything else when it’s dry so why not this?

We started putting our zip ties through our cages when we pull supplies on Monday! 💥 GAME CHANGER 🤯

There’s no more forgetting and having to do it after the arch piece is made. It’s genius and we’re so smart 🤪

When we soak the cage we fill the sink up and drop the cage in with the zip ties. It soaks up just like it would without the zip ties. 👏🏻

First time making a flower crown… for a horse.
(Okay fine, it was a mini donkey but she served Kentucky Derby realness.)

We kept it super simple: started with a base of Italian Ruscus and built out a floral collar using bind wire. We wired on everything roses, carnations, filler, right down the line and then connected both ends to make a full circle that sat perfectly on our four-legged friend.

Was I stressed about water? Absolutely. It was HOT in Texas and I was panicking about how the blooms would hold up. But truthfully? It was way more important that everything was secure and snug on the collar than having a water source. The flowers held up beautifully for what we needed.

This was our first go at a floral collar like this, and honestly it worked like a charm. I’ve got another method up my sleeve that I’ll share next week…stay tuned for Flower Crown for a Donkey/Horse: Round 2.

We’ve had tons of questions about White Betty!

Specifically the removable shelf. @malek_works custom built this for us and it’s the best thing we ever did!

It’s easy to remove + put in and we use it every single time we use WB.
