## Resource

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.   Want help applying this to your own floristry business?
