Hi and thank you for your interest in the community.
Your boxes are beautiful and it's obvious you take great pride in what you do. I'm just not sure what is to be gained for you by being a member here. What are your thoughts?
Do you sell wholesale to flowershops?
Thanks for taking the time.

Thanks for the welcome Victoria. The URL listed is actually incorrect. The correct URL is www.givebella.com.
My background is in event design and in retail marketing. I was raised in a family of event specialists and public relations professionals so it is in my blood.
Being in event design I have had the opportunity to work with experts in lighting, culinary arts, floristry, photography and more. Some of my favorite experts have honored me with the opportunity to work with them including pastry chefs and my preferred local floral designer. The floral designer has retired and encouraged me to get into this side of the business as I currently have the clientele I'd like to serve. It is something I'm sincerely investigating as a love of floral and fauna has stayed with me since co-owning a garden center and greenhouse in PA with my former in-laws.
As to what I hope to gain here...knowledge. An insider's perspective. I'm a strong believer in fundamentals and although I am known professionally for my design, production concepts, value and service...I know you have to have a sound core group of skills in order to build off of. Because of this I am looking into a good short term school, lasting 3-4 weeks. Thus far the most appealing one is Phil Rolluda's http://www.philrulloda.com/. Although I would prefer an east coast school I would willingly travel to California to study under someone doing the modern lush styles my clients and I favor.
I'm very open to any advice or opinions on Phil's classes or others as well. Thank you so much for the welcome and hopefully this has answered your questions and shown a sincere interest in the profession.
Sincerely, Michelle

Hi Michelle:
Thank you for expanding on the information about yourself. Because you have no real experience (yet) in the floral industry, I'm going to suggest you find another community to suit your needs at this time. This site is geared towards the professional florist and related industries. Once you've become established please let us know. It would be a pleasure to welcome someone with your perspective and apparent passion.
As Cathy (Phil's wife) is a member here, and because I'm a huge fan of Phil, his school is the one I'd recommend (no I don't get paid to say that!).
Thanks and best wishes for a successful future in the floral industry.
