5 minutes? Let’s gooooooooo fast 👩🏼‍🎨🎨🌸🌻🪻

Everyone deserves flowers especially when they’re coming home! 🏠 🤍

It’s funny because I remember years ago when I was afraid to design. I would prep for everyone so we could stay on schedule. I knew if I designed we would get behind because I didn’t know how to do it. 🤷🏼‍♀️ One day I had to learn regardless and every time I design a daily arrangement I have flashbacks to that time.

Just remember that everyone starts at the beginning!! No is born knowing how to do this and we all learn as we go. Don’t be scared to try new things and definitely never give up! 💪🏻

Interrupting your regularly scheduled floral post to share more BTS of our wedding since things started to hit the fan around this time last year! 😆

It’s been a year since I tried on wedding dresses @amourbridaltexas so I thought I’d share a few pictures of dresses I tried on but didn’t choose! 👰🏼‍♀️💍 I think I tried on maybe 5 or 6? I can’t remember but it wasn’t many! I also wanted a long veil with blue floral embroidered on the bottom but my stylist Katherine put this one on me and I fell in love with the whole look! 🤍

You have no idea how badly I wanted one with pockets. We all know how I feel about pockets. 😂

First one was the winner 🥇 👏🏻

As designers, we all have our own quirks and ways of working…so tell me, are you a single designer or a double designer? 👩🏼‍🎨

Lately I’ve caught myself leaning more into being a double designer. I don’t know what shifted, but it just feels like things flow faster and smoother when I work that way especially depending on the setup of the piece. 😂

Do you stick with one design at a time, or do you like working in pairs for big pieces?

I’m curious to know what works best for you! ⬇️

Let’s get one thing straight you don’t need shiny new equipment or every trending product to start a successful business.

When I started Cone Flower Designs, I wasn’t using top-of-the-line anything. I wasn’t buying the most expensive tools or following trends just to say I had them. I used what I had access to. I made it work. And I got really dang good at working smarter, not more expensively. 🤓

It’s easy to feel like you have to buy all the newest stuff to be taken seriously…but don’t fall for that!! Being resourceful, efficient, and confident in your own process is worth way more than having the latest fancy cutter or trendy clippers.

Do I have some upgraded things now? Of course!!! But that came with time, growth, money and actual need.

Start with what you have. Focus on the craft. The rest will come. 🩵

Work hard, play harder 👏🏻

Everyone knows (and loves) baby’s breath but have you ever met chamomile? 👀 Sometimes called feverfew, this dainty filler flower is one we highly recommend and love to use!

Here’s the thing: baby’s breath isn’t cheap when you need 27,378 bunches to pull off an install 😆 There are so many filler flowers out there that are just as pretty and sometimes even better depending on the design.

Don’t sleep on the power of a good filler! 👏🏻

Remember to always use your blue thistle first when designing bouquets! 💡

This will allow the shoots to be spaced out evenly vs all being tight together if you add the stems in after you do your greenery base. Since blue thistle shoots are typically lower down on the stem it’s smart to start first with them!

Sometimes the shoots will all be closer to the top of the stem and you can add it in second to the greenery but we always like to start with it first! 1️⃣

📋Let’s talk about our clipboards!!📋

If you don’t know what I’m talking about scroll back on our reels page and you’ll see where I talk about our clipboard wall.

Each wedding, event or order goes on a brown clipboard.
Blue clipboards are for order acknowledgments plus they divide our weeks out on the clipboard wall.

Our clipboards have our proposal, recipes sheets and any information that goes with that order. Timeline, layout, inspiration pictures, etc.

We add two stamps to every proposal which helps us know where we’re at in the process with that order. We mark them off based on where we’re at.

This system works for us and it works well but take our idea and tweak it to make it your own! 👏🏻 📋

Let us know if you want to know about our color coding system too!

It definitely takes a village and I wouldn’t want to do this with anyone else but OUR people! Some might have other businesses but we come together to help one another succeed regardless.

This wedding was massive. Like… flowers-everywhere, install-all-day, hydrate-and-hustle type of massive. And there’s just no way I could’ve pulled it off alone (nor would I want to).

The final product always looks beautiful in photos but these behind-the-scenes moments? The early mornings, the sweaty setups, the team communication, the “we got this” moments when things get wild… that’s what really makes this work so rewarding.

I’m beyond thankful for our team and everything they do to make our business what it is today. It’s not just me. It’s US!!

From prepping blooms to installing massive structures to cleaning up petals at the end of the night this crew shows up and gives their all.
Not featured:
- The farms where our product came from!! So important!
- @rlinflwrs and the @pikespeakwholesale who worked so hard to get us our supplies and flowers.
- @rileylouevents who helped process flowers and assist anywhere needed!
- Addie, my niece who helped us cut chicken wire and pull recipes all day!
- @saltcreeksocial who took BTS the whole week and day of us!! Thank you!

Success doesn’t happen solo. And I’m so dang proud of the people behind Cone Flower Designs 💪🌸

🌷 Price transparency post!!! 🌷

When you’re picking out your floral style for your wedding, remember this little nugget:
💡More flowers = more money.

Heavy floral with minimal greenery isn’t just a “look” it’s a luxury! This bouquet had over 40 stems (yes, 40+) including peonies, butterfly ranunculus, and standard ranunculus. Those are pricier delicate florals that our bride loved!

With our standard 3.5x markup (which includes tax, labor, supplies, etc.), this bouquet comes in just over $450. And that’s not just the cost of the flowers that covers:

🌿Processing and prepping each stem

🌿Last-minute product swaps

🌿The mechanics and design work

🌿Time

🌿Setup, delivery, installation...

You get the idea!! You’re not just paying for pretty you’re paying for professionalism and execution. 🌼

Every florist prices differently depending on two big things:

🌸 Their overhead

🌸 Their markup + where they source flowers

So if you’re asking “why does this cost so much?” it’s because you’re getting way more than just stems.

PS. let me tell you I made a mistake and ate the cost of peonies on this one. Yes, I make mistakes and no, I don’t go back and charge our client for it after the fact. That’s not right!! 😆

Some of y’all are going to be upset by this and some are going to understand! It’s okay!!! It’s hard to see why florals cost so much until you’re hands on doing it. Trust me, you’ll understand quite quickly where the cost comes from. 😉🫣

Created this bold beauty for a styled shoot with our friends over at @sloanebridal ! We’ve worked with them more times than we can count and when they said “shoot in Salado?” we said “say less!!”

Teamwork makes the flower dream work 💐 👏🏻

Stay tuned to see how this whole shoot came together. It’s GOOD. 😱

Our most used item!!!

These dish crates from @webstaurantstore have been the best investment for us! We use them all the time.

We have the 16 compartment (yellow), 36 compartment (green) and 9 compartment (black) crates.

We didn’t start out with them so don’t spend your money on them first. Reuse flower boxes and slowly invest in a few if you want!

Link is in our bio under Benable! Will also link them on stories. 🔗

📋Let’s talk about one of the most essential systems in our entire studio: the clipboard wall. This wall has completely transformed the way we run our business, and we truly could not operate without it at this point!

Every single wedding, event, or order we have gets its own clipboard. On that clipboard, we attach anything and everything related to that specific project. That includes the full proposal, floral recipes, timeline, layout, inspiration photos, contact information, and any other notes we need to reference. Instead of scrambling through files or flipping through apps, we can walk over, glance at the clipboard, and know exactly what’s going on and where we’re at in the process. ✅

😱 We also work several weeks ahead, so this wall gives us a visual roadmap of what’s coming up. We can quickly assess how full our week is, how many weddings are happening, and what stage each one is in. And here’s where it gets even better our entire team has access to this information too. Everyone can clearly see what is happening each week and can stay aligned without constant check-ins or confusion. That kind of visibility is everything. Truly everything!

One of our favorite parts of this system is the custom stamps we use to mark progress. Each proposal gets stamped and as we hit key milestones they get marked off. This helps us see at a glance what still needs to be finalized, what’s ready to go, and what’s fully wrapped. It might seem simple, but it has made a huge impact on our workflow and communication.

Over the years we’ve made little improvements to this wall and recently made another tweak that we’re showing in this reel. Every change we’ve made has come from trial and error and figuring out what makes our process more efficient and less chaotic.

If you’re a florist, planner, or really anyone who manages multiple events at once, having a visual system like this could make all the difference. It’s been one of the best things we’ve ever implemented and has truly helped us stay organized, proactive and chill during even the busiest weeks.

Let us know if you want a breakdown of what we include on each clipboard or how we built out the wall itself! 🙋🏼‍♀️

You completely caught me off guard in the best way, and I’d say yes 100 times over. Love you forever, babe. 🤍💙

Form ranunculus to mums to stick to delphinium, THIS is the perfect combo to hit that pastel perfection. 🌸🌿🤩

Bins inside bins inside bins…welcome to the hydration chamber! 🙌🏻📋✅

Let’s talk about what a hydration chamber actually is, what we keep in ours, and why it’s part of our weekly system. We’ve had a bunch of people ask, so here we go 👇

If you’re not familiar with our process yet, every wedding/event/order gets assigned a color for the entire week. That color gets buckets, a hydration chamber bins, tags, prep bins, you name it. Is it a little extra? Probably!! But it keeps everything organized and ensures nothing gets mixed up. 👏🏻

Inside our hydration chamber bin:
We keep three smaller bins labeled:
🌿 Bouquet ribbon
🌿 Boutonnière ribbon
🌿 Corsage cuffs
🌿 Plus our boutonnière holder

When we pull supplies on Monday, we also prep ribbon for bouquets and bouts, precut and ready, with pins included. That way, when we’re wrapping bouquets or packing bouts, everything’s ready to grab. It’s also a built-in checkpoint to make sure we’ve designed the right number of personals! The corsage bin just holds the cuffs until we’re ready to use them, keeping them off random shelves avoids confusion (ask us how we know 😅).

We also store our boutonnière holder in here, a test tube rack we snagged off Amazon (linked in our storefront!). We pre-fill the water picks and drop them in the rack on the correct shelf. It’s a game-changer: you can design the bout then directly put it into the water pick, then pop the whole rack into the cooler so everything stays hydrated until delivery.

And what even is a hydration chamber? 😱
For us, it’s where we store corsages, broken stems and delicate personals. Nothing goes to waste: broken stems from processing get reused for cake flowers, flat lays, boutonnières, etc. We line the bin with a damp paper towel, place items inside, and cover them with another damp towel to keep things hydrated and fresh for delivery day. We pack them up into nicer boxes on deliver day. Presentation is everything! 🤩

This system might sound over the top, but it works so well for us. Just remember: take the parts that make sense for you and make it your own! Hope this helps!

Love you, byeeeeee 🌸

Systems, baby!! 📋 They’re not just for the spreadsheets people they’re for the flower people too. 🌸

Once you find a flow that actually works for you, it changes everything. I’m talking less stress, faster designs, smoother weddings and even dare I say a more peaceful life. 😱🤯😆

Here’s our go-to system for designing floral cuffs (but remember, take what works and ditch what doesn’t):
🌿 Lay your cuffs out
🌿 Prep your flowers + greenery
🌿 Glue a base if needed (ribbon, moss, a leaf—whatever gives you structure). We didn’t use one on these and they were perfect!
🌿 Glue the top of the cuff and glue your focal flowers then place
🌿 Add filler
🌿 Add greenery
🌿 Check for holes or exposed glue
🌿 Hydration chamber until you’re ready to pack

That’s it. Nothing wild. But it works and it’s repeatable, scalable, and stress-free(ish). I mean you’re making corsages sooooo 🤣 If you’re trying to copy someone else’s routine and it’s just not clicking? It’s not you. Adjust it. Change it. Make it your own!

Let systems support your creativity not limit it!

That’s it. Nothing wild. But it works and it’s repeatable, scalable, and stress-free(ish). I mean you’re making corsages sooooo 🤣 If you’re trying to copy someone else’s routine and it’s just not clicking? It’s not you. Adjust it. Change it. Make it your own!

Let systems support your creativity not limit it!

Ever wonder why florists charge what they charge? 😬

Well…here’s 7 minutes of chaos, caffeine, flower buckets, mechanics, logistics, and magic to show you exactly why!

This reel takes you through an entire wedding week from processing flowers and designing for hours to hauling installs and making the day of magic happen.

It’s not just flowers in a vase. It’s strategy, labor, creativity, and literal sweat equity. So before you question the price tag, watch what really goes down behind the blooms. 👏🏻

Shoutout to @saltcreeksocial for helping making this video happen! 🤍

🚨Let’s talk about why transparency with clients matters especially when it comes to flowers.

This is salmon ranunculus. Same variety, same name, but it can show up looking peach or pink. And the kicker? We don’t get to pick which one arrives.

As florists, we work closely with our wholesalers and reps to source the best product possible but even they don’t always know exactly what shade is coming in from the farm. That’s the reality of working with natural product! 😱

This is why it’s so important to educate your clients up front. If a flower is known to vary this much, it’s not a reliable choice for a strict color palette. Even if a client falls in love with a specific photo, we explain how the flower world works:
🌿 There are seasonal limitations.
🌿 Colors can shift.
🌿 Substitutions might need to be made.
🌿 Pricing can shift.

Being transparent about the process builds trust and gives us the flexibility to adjust based on what actually shows up on the truck that week.

Florists: Say the hard stuff early & educate your clients. Don’t over promise and under deliver. 🙃

Clients: Trust your florist to pivot when needed. That’s how we make magic and keep it real. 🌸

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.

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 💥
