Let Talk About | Start Your Floral Business for $500–$1,000 (Phase 1)

This is Phase 1 of my 3-part series on building your floral business—from zero to fully functioning. Today we set up the core essentials on a budget of $500–$1,000: workspace, tools, basic supplies, and your first marketing steps. I’ll also share how I avoid waste (no same-day orders) and where to buy when you don’t have wholesale access yet.

What you’ll learn
*The exact essentials to buy first (and what to skip)
*Budget-friendly workspace setup (countertop + shelves + white buckets)
*Tool kit: shears, pruners, wire, foam/mechanics, tapes, ribbons, glue gun
*Business basics: phone camera, IG/FB/TikTok setup, starter ads
*Smart ordering: next-day only, buy per order, Trader Joe’s when no wholesale
*Delivery supplies: wraps, kraft/cellophane, delivery boxes

Starter shopping list (quick)
-Countertop work table (Home Depot): $100–$200
-Shelving: $50–$100
-5–10 white buckets (Walmart): ~$50 total
-Floral scissors/shears + pruners + wire cutters: $35–$65
-Floral foam/mechanics + wire + stem tape: ~$65
-Ribbon basics (white, blush, red, lavender): ~$30
-Glue gun + sticks: $15–$30
-Wraps/boxes for delivery: ~$55
-Use your smartphone for photos + set up IG/FB/TikTok
💡 Rule: Don’t stock flowers “just in case.” Take next-day orders only so you can buy fresh to recipe and avoid waste.
