Lesson Two

Here’s a good template to send to your pals:

“Hey, friend! I’m DIY-ing my wedding flowers through Flower Moxie, and I would LOVE your assistance during the week of my wedding! Would you be available?? Bras are optional. Yoga pants mandatory.

I will need help on (YOUR DATE + TIME). We’ll be (ENTER IN WHAT JOB THEY WILL HELP WITH LIKE PREP, DESIGN, OR TRANSPORT). Here’s the link to Flower Moxie’s Helper page to get us all prepared!”

Next, get hyper-detailed like the girl in school who always had 5 highlighters. (Calm down, Erica, it's 3rd grade.)

If you haven't already, fill out your DIY Workbook to identify exactly what you need and from whom.

For example: Your mamma may be free to help you on prep day, your besties may be able to take a day off of work to help you design, and the groomsmen may be able to drive your flowers to the venue.

List of tasks that you will want help with:

• Day 1- Flower Prep and Processing: Unpacking boxes, sorting flowers, cutting stems, spacing blooms, getting your space organized for building.
  • 1-2 helpers recommended for order less than $1,500
  • 2-3 helpers recommendes for orders $1,500+
    
    
• Day 2-3 - Flower Design and Building: Building all of your arrangement types. Assign people to specific arrangements so they can focus on 1-2 things. They will get faster as they do it a few times. (2-4 helpers recommended)
  
  
• Day 4 - Transporting Flowers to Venue on Wedding Day: Transporting flowers to the venue, packing the vehicle(s) nicely so arrangements stay in place, unloading at the venue, & placing arrangements in the correct locations. (2-3 helpers recommended)
  
  
• Post Wedding: Clean up and take floral arrangements to predetermined location(s).
