The Business of Flowers

The Business of Flowers

Honest, strategic mentoring for wedding florists navigating bookings, pricing, systems, client experience, and sustainable growth in a changing industry.

1:1 MENTORING FOR WEDDING FLORISTS

Stop exhausting your creative energy trying to navigate this business alone.



 Does this sound familiar? 

  • Your bookings aren’t looking quite like they have in years past.
  • You’re spending hours searching for answers, but still feeling unclear on your next step.
  • Your client experience feels reactive instead of intentional.
  • You know your pricing and systems need work, but you’re not sure where to begin.
  • Burnout is creeping in, and the business side of floristry is draining your creativity.
  • You want honest perspective from someone who truly understands the florist world.

Running a wedding floral business asks a lot of you creatively, emotionally, and strategically. I’ve been there too.

You don’t have to navigate this season of business aLL on your own.

Sometimes clarity changes everything. My goal is for you to leave each session feeling encouraged, equipped, and confident in your next step. 🤍

I still remember how overwhelming the floral industry felt when I was first starting out. I spent countless hours searching for answers, trying to piece together what it actually took to build a thriving floral business.



Under the guidance of my own mentor-turned-friend, I gained not only confidence in my creative work, but clarity in how to navigate the business side of floristry, too.

At the time, the industry often felt closed-off and difficult to break into. Maybe you’ve felt that too.

Now, after building a 6-figure floral business and serving over couples for over a decade, one of the greatest honors of my career is helping other florists navigate their own seasons of growth with honesty, encouragement, and strategic support.

Whether you’re refining your systems, navigating slower bookings, elevating your client experience, or simply craving clearer direction, there’s a seat for you here.

I've had an exceptional experience with Michaela as a floral mentor.

Whether you’re navigating slower bookings, refining your client experience, cleaning up backend systems, or simply craving honest industry perspective, mentoring sessions are designed to meet you where you are and help you move forward with intention.

Mentoring conversations often include topics like:

• Pricing and profitability refinement
• Inquiry and booking flow

• Website and messaging feedback
• Sustainable growth strategies
• Navigating slower booking seasons
• Social media and marketing direction

Sometimes the most valuable next step isn’t another course or tutorial — it’s an honest conversation with someone who understands the florist world firsthand.

You don’t have to navigate this business alone.
