Setting Boundaries and More with Jenn Sanchez

Setting Boundaries and More with Jenn Sanchez

Author: Scott Shepherd, Host and Flower Educator October 11, 2021 Duration: 1:04:00

Our guest this week is Jenn Sanchez located in Oxnard, California producing work from her home studio as well as taking jobs on the road to destination events, photoshoots, and workshops across the country and around the world. Drawn to curious flowers and foliages, she sources from an array of unexpected places to achieve her imagined designs. Farmers market fruits as edible accompaniments to centerpieces, overgrown forgotten grasses in back alleyways, and trimmings from her home garden that add just the thing to make the bridal bouquet sing.

If you're a wedding florist or farmer florist, today's episode has great perspective and insight from Jenn's 8 years of experience bootstrapping her floral business and growing it to what it is today.

We chat about setting boundaries with customers and for family, IG for marketing, and so much more.
