Corsage Demo
I just found out that it can take up whole day just to make one web page... I was trying to write a step-by-step demonstration showing how to make a corsage / boutonniere using a carnation and baby's breathe. A little corsage has involved a lot of steps. Lots of wiring, taping and labor work. Often time when the prom or wedding season comes, when customer are there to bargain the prices for these corsages and boutonnieres, they never thought how much work and effort each corsage or boutonniere has involved. Discount should only applied to those manufactured goods, not on the hand-craft goods with fresh flowers. I mean when you try to sell a carnation corsage for $6, how much discount can you give for the time and labour you gave in? Sometimes when the customer is not happy about the price, I will suggest them to buy the loose flowers to make the corsage/boutonniere/bouquets themselves. They will save money by half; and also learn to do it yourself. Then they may appreciate the $6 they will pay for the finished carnation corsage from a florist.
