Holidays can be tricky: long hours, lots of phone calls, and piles of pretty blooms. It’s important to strategize, plan, and cut out unnecessary hurdles.
One way to be highly efficient and highly profitable during these busy seasons is to reduce your offerings and minimize the palettes, flowers, and foliage types you’re working with.
Your team will operate best if they are familiar with the products, don’t have to figure out how to make a new palette work, and aren’t overcome with decision fatigue every time they have to invent a new designer’s choice!
Below are some of our favorite palettes for Mother’s Day 2023. Select palettes that have overlapping or complementing colors with each other or with the other designs on your website that way you can use each flower in different contexts. If you try to carry every bloom and every shade, you’re going to end up with random leftovers that don’t look right together!
We always recommend ordering in advance to best guarantee the blooms you want for a busy season. Check out our Mother’s Day pricelist or shop these blooms right here!
