Included: My Trusted Supplier & Resource Lists
One of the most valuable parts of this workbook is something florists rarely share — my personal lists of suppliers, growers, and go-to resources. These have been built up over years of hands-on experience, trial and error, and trusted industry relationships.
You’ll find:
Recommended flower wholesalers – reliable, florist-friendly suppliers who understand the needs of event work
British suppliers – Nurseries and small-scale growers
Sundries & floral supplies – from candles to ribbons.
Prop hire & fabricators – Specialist hire companies and custom props
Essential florist kit – everything I carry on-site and behind the scenes, plus links to where to find them.
No fluff. No filler. Just the knowledge you wish you’d had from the start.
