The Bouquet Blueprint™ Workbook
for farmer-florists
Build Gorgeous, High-Selling Bouquets —
That Work For Your Farm
Master a proven, efficient design system that helps flower farmers create beautiful, balanced bouquets — no matter what’s blooming.
You grow stunning flowers — but when it comes to building irresistible bouquets that sell out, things can quickly feel overwhelming.
Without a clear framework, bouquet-making becomes stressful, inefficient, and costly. You're stuck trying to figure out how to create balance and avoid overstuffing — while what your fields are producing changes from week to week.
The Bouquet Blueprint™ gives you a simple, repeatable method to design stunning, seasonal bouquets that are beautiful, profitable, and easy to build — even as your harvest shifts throughout the season.
Skip the trial and error, and feel confident in every bouquet you create.
We’ve asked it before, too…
“How do I make gorgeous bouquets that sell out
regardless of what’s growing…and do it efficiently?”
“Before I developed this system, bouquet-making here at Sweet Piedmont was chaotic. I’d over-harvest, overstuff bouquets, and still feel like something was missing.
Once I built The Bouquet Blueprint™, everything changed.
I could plan better, harvest faster, design easier — and most importantly, confidently sell bouquets that customers couldn’t resist.
This system saved my time, improved my sales, and brought so much more joy back into farming.”
— Sharon (owner and founder of Sweet Piedmont Flower Farm)
Topics Covered In This Workbook
-
The Bouquet Blueprint™ Framework is our tried and true (and easy to repeat!) design method that takes the guesswork out of the process of creating beautiful, balanced bouquets that SELL!
-
We dive deep into the 6 variety types - the “6Fs” - and help you to assess what you currently grow (or need to grow!). Become fluent with each ingredient’s role within a bouquet.
-
We’ve cracked the code for beautiful, balanced bouquets and we’re handing it right to you. No matter the bouquet size, our ratios can be universally applied.
-
Not into manual math? We’ve got you covered with a handy Plan & Harvest Calculator - whether you input bouquet quantity to get your harvest goals or reverse the equation by providing what you’ve harvested, the math is done for you.
-
Saving time doesn’t stop at planning and recipes! We provide the exact steps our team implements for sorting ingredients and prepping the design workstation.
-
Complete with real bouquet photos and helpful diagrams, we explain exactly where to place each ingredient type within a bouquet so each flower is fulfilling its proper role!
-
The Bouquet Blueprint™ doesn't tell you exactly what price you should set for your bouquets — because every farm, market, and customer base is unique.
Instead, it gives you a flexible system to design bouquets that stay consistent in size, value, and beauty — even as your flower availability changes.
This means you can confidently avoid overstuffing, build professional, profitable bouquets, and maintain brand consistency — all throughout the growing season.

A Local Flower Vision
We believe the beauty and joy of flowers transforms the world for the better. Flowers can redefine a space, enliven the heart, and say things that sometimes words cannot. We also believe that locally produced flowers are exponentially healthier for humans and the environment, especially when they are sustainably and humanely produced.
As we support and educate fellow flower farmers, we hope the accessibility of local flowers continues to rise and ultimately become the standard in communities across the globe.
