Lesson Two

Form Army of Helpers

Lesson Overview

Goal: Outline everything you need to make. Schedule your prep team. Assign tasks to each helper. Leave no carbs behind.

Make it happen: A good month in advance so your friends and family can make arrangements with work or schedule childcare.

Breeze through this lesson: In under 10 minutes. Spend an additional 10-15 minutes filling out your course worksheet and emailing helpers.

Do It Yourself does not mean Do It Alone. Hundreds of our clients email us post-wedding freaking out about the fun they had arranging their flowers with loved ones.

How to be one of those clients:

  1. Identify everything you need to make, floral-wise.
  2. Ask for help.
  3. D-E-L-E-G-A-T-E.
  4. Make a plan in advance.

Task #1: Secure the assembly line.

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!”


Task #2: Assign helpers to specific tasks.

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).

This is going to be amazing!!
