Making Myself $1000 Bouquet 💐💐💐 (or at least as big as I can)

🌷 The florist creates an average of 100 bouquets a week for sale at a roadside stand and farmer's market, with some peak weeks reaching up to 300 bouquets.

💐 There is a sense of monotony in creating similar styles and recipes for bouquets regularly, and the florist finds excitement in crafting special, decadent arrangements when given the chance.

🌼 The florist is taking the opportunity to indulge by making a luxurious white bouquet for personal enjoyment using flowers that are typically hoarded and not sold.

🔵 An exceptional sea holly plant with a striking blue color is being used in a personal bouquet, despite its prickliness and potential liability if sold to customers.

🌸 The florist focuses on incorporating bright and colorful flowers, combining yellows, pinks, whites, and oranges to create a vibrant arrangement.

🌱 Some interesting plant choices for the bouquets include a burr plant, which is typically considered a nasty weed but is being used for its appealing look.

🏵️ The desire for extravagance extends to the selection of flowers, with the florist opting for special elements like echinacea plants and lizianthus, which are usually too precious to include in regular market bouquets.

🌻 The bouquets are crafted using the spiral technique, which allows for a circular arrangement and results in a creation that can stand on its own.

🤏 The sheer size and weight of the bouquets challenge the florist, one bouquet weighing nearly four pounds, showcasing the indulgent scale of these personal creations.

🛍️ Presentation is important even for personal bouquets, with the florist wrapping the arrangements in tissue paper and staples, mimicking the presentation of a gift bouquet.
