Showerthought: The personal touch in bouquets is fading with pre-made trends.

I used to know every customer's story when they ordered a special bouquet. Now, most just show a photo from the internet and want the same thing. Are we just putting flowers together instead of creating?

People still get pretty flowers they like.

I get that people find flowers they like, but I mean, sometimes shops just push the same stuff you see online. What I've done is bring in a photo of something from my grandma's garden or whatever, even if it's old-school. Like, last time I asked for daisies and carnations, and they were surprised because it wasn't one of those popular peony mixes. But they made it, and it was perfect. You kinda have to speak up or you'll just get another copy of that Instagram bouquet. Maybe it's just me, but being specific helps.

Bringing a photo always gets me what I want.

See this trend firsthand, my local shop now mostly duplicates internet pictures.
