Doing your friend’s wedding? Listen to this before you ruin the relationship | Ep 10

Almost every florist starts their wedding career with a friend or family member saying, “Can you do my flowers?” And at first, it feels like such an honour. You’re excited. They trust you. You say yes. But what happens next is where so many florists go wrong. In this episode, I’m spilling the full story on how I’ve flowered 10 of my friends’ weddings (three of them as a bridesmaid!) and never once had a horror story. Not because I’m lucky, but because I built a clear policy, set solid boundaries and treated every friend like a proper client from day one. You’ll hear: 🌸 The $400 wedding that started it all and why I lost money but gained clarity 🌸 The common horror stories florists experience (scope creep, drama, and even lawsuits 😬) 🌸 My 3-stage process for working with friends: The Ask, The Lead-Up, and The Wedding Day 🌸 How to say “I charge full price” without sounding cold or awkward 🌸 The mindset shift that turns a gift into a powerful surprise (hint: it's not about discounts) 🌸 5 pro tips that will save your friendships, your sanity and your Saturday nights Whether you’ve already been burned or want to avoid the chaos altogether, this episode is your go-to guide for navigating the emotional minefield of friends-and-family weddings with grace, confidence, and generosity on your terms.Mentioned in the episode: If you’re craving more support, strategy, and behind-the-scenes training, jump into Wildflower Academy.
