Do florists treat flowers like a commodity?

 Consider whether you yourself view West Vancouver Flowers as a commodity vs. art.


When peonies are $39.95 for 10 stems wholesale, do you view them as art? Or are you grumbling about the price per stem?


They’re gorgeous! They’re local! They’re at the perfect stage of openness!


But they’re expensive. Are they worth it? That’s up to you.


Value is always in the eye of the beholder.



Florists should be committed to providing value to clients while at the same time also valuing your time, skill and expertise. 


We’re fortunate to work in an industry with standard pricing formulas that allows us to do all of the above.


Remember: In the end, it doesn’t matter what you charge if you overbuy.
