Dear Readers,
I want to take a moment and say thank you for all of your generosity this week. I have so enjoyed looking through the websites and looking up the companies that you have suggested. In this business, it is important to remember that we are colleagues, not competitors, and we all work with the same goal: to bring the dreams of our clients to life.
Today, I would like to ask you what you have learned from one of your peers? How has it made you stronger professionally?
Blessings,
Preston

What I’ve learned from YOU Preston is that “Nothing is impossible” I come from the Caribbean like you and learning your story gave me strength to take my business to the next level. Without you realizing it, you inspired a lot of people and make a difference in their lives! It was like having you as my mentor. Thank you so much!

To work on an even level with them. Not get involved in any confrontations between companies. Work with other companies to bring the bride and grooms wishes togehter seamlessly. To make sure that all busiensses involved are credited for their work. And if there are issues between vendors to not take sides, but to work the issues out so that the bride and groom and their guests are not aware of any problems and they get to sit back and enjoy the night with no worries

The list would go on and on! I have learned so much from my peers and am always eager to share my own experiences as well. Aside from all the wonderful things you have taught us, one of the most important things I learned is the importance of professional packaging. Delivering product to a venue in a shabby box does not exude a professional image. I am set apart from my competition locally in this area. I take special care to package corsages, boutonnieres, bouquets, etc. in professional boxes that are labeled with names of the recipients, and include my logo on the packaging. Most photographers pick up on this and take pictures of the flowers in their boxes. This is a subtle way of advertising when the bride posts those pictures on Facebook!
