My name is Brandie and I am the owner of Fleur De Lis Concepts. I run my business out of my home and I primarily work on weddings and banquets. I just started into the floral design business so I'm looking for any ideas and suggestions I can get!
 
I'm sorry, I'm going to be completely blunt here. I looked at your gallery on your website and I would suggest you get some schooling and hopefully some refrigeration. I did notice in your photos, flowers that looked "old" or having been subjected to warmer temperatures which impair the longevity.
I am not perfect, but I find your designs lacking in some basic principles of design. I highly suggest you invest some $$ and energy into some hands on classes in your area. I wish you the best.....if it is what you love, pursue to be the best.
 
Ok.....First of all - I'm wondering if we looked at the same website. The one I saw used Flash, had music playing constantly, and featured some average arrangements...........some were quite nice, others needed refinement. In reading the bio, it did say she was looking to gain AIFD and CFD and has apparently entered and won some design competitions. She did mention pricing structure and admit to being home-based. I am assuming?? that she has gained all the neccessary licensing to operate a legitimate business from her home?
