"
BE SMART ABOUT HOW LONG
EACH PROJECT WILL TAKE
Because any great event has many moving parts,
including other vendors, be mindful of the time
allotted for delivery and setup. Having proper
schedules and talking to the right people in charge
will alleviate many potential problems.
"Asking venues for specific diagrams or layouts is a
great start to be more of a community and allowing
everyone to have more of a 'schedule' when it comes
to loading in and out," says Andrew omas. "It takes
an army to put on a magical, seamless, memorable
event. All of us in the floral industry would agree that
we are 'in it together,' from start to finish."
But one can never forget this truth. It's always near
the finish line where one can experience the agony of
defeat. So, plan ahead to triumph over the transportation
challenges—which can translate to more jobs, as well.
We will often reuse the
boxes that roses come in to
transport low compote-style
arrangements. is keeps
them snug and secure, and
they can be offloaded easily
from the truck into the venue.
