When the Plan Falls Apart: How to Lead, Pivot, and Problem-Solve Like a Pro Florist | Ep 24
I’m sharing a behind-the-scenes story from a scorching hot Redleaf wedding where the entire ceremony location changed the day before and how I pivoted the design without any stress (or crispy flowers).
I also answer a Wildflower Academy member’s question about what to do when a venue gives you incorrect information, the client wants something physically impossible, and you have to make a call on the day.
We chat about:
-
How I handle last-minute changes with confidence
-
The questions I ask early to avoid surprises later
-
Why understanding a client’s intention matters more than the exact inspo photo
-
My go-to backup structures and on-the-day prep
-
How to communicate clearly with clients when things can’t go to plan
A short, practical episode that will help you stay calm, flexible, and in your leadership energy — no matter what the wedding day throws your way.
