Wedding proposals in minutes: recipe → cost → photo

A practical playbook for florists who lose weddings because the quote arrives two days late.

Wedding proposals in minutes: recipe → cost → photo

Stop quoting from an average price

Most spreadsheets compute the cost of a wedding bouquet from an average wholesale price. That hides a problem: the actual batch you'll consume on the wedding date may be 30% more expensive. The margin you promised on the call evaporates by the wedding.

Quote from your own recipes

Build each bouquet as a recipe — list every flower and quantity. When you quote a wedding, the system multiplies the recipe by the count and pulls the exact cost from the FIFO batch on hand. You see margin per line and per event before you send the price.

Make the proposal look like you, not Pinterest

A branded link with your logo and colors works better than a PDF clone of someone else's mood board. The bride opens the link on her phone in seconds and sees your bouquet — rendered straight from the recipe — not someone else's picture.

From approved to in-production in one click

When the bride approves, the proposal becomes an order, the order becomes a production task, and the cost flows into finance. Nothing retyped, nothing lost. The wedding stays on the agreed margin because the stock was already committed.
