How to Start a Flower Business From Home in the U.S.
Quick answer: You can start a flower business from home in the U.S. with a bucket, a stem cutter and your first box of flowers. Bloomeneur ships farm-direct flowers to all 50 states, with free shipping, no minimums and boxes from $56, and it does not require a commercial license to buy. Orders typically arrive in about 7 days.
Step 1: Decide what you want to sell
Start with one simple product: bouquets for friends and neighbors, arrangements for events, or weekly flowers for a local market. Having one clear idea makes it easier to choose your first flowers and to tell people what you offer.
Step 2: Set up a simple space at home
You do not need a shop or a studio. A table, a clean bucket and a stem cutter are enough to begin. A cutter is inexpensive, and most people already have a bucket at home.
Step 3: Check your local rules
Requirements for selling flowers vary by state and city, so check with your local and state authorities before you start selling. Bloomeneur does not ask for a commercial license or any documents when you buy.
Step 4: Order your first box
Choose your flowers, greens and filler from our flowers and build a box that fits what you plan to make. Your flowers come farm-direct, shipping is free, there are no minimums and your first order is 20% off. Because orders typically arrive in about 7 days, order ahead of any event or sale date.
Step 5: Prepare and design your flowers
When your box arrives, trim the stems and place the flowers in clean water. If you have never designed before, begin with flowers that need very little arranging and add more elaborate designs as you gain confidence.
Step 6: Sell through your network
Share your first bouquets with people you know, post them on social media and offer them at local events or markets. Start small, learn what your customers like and grow from there.
Step 7: Estimate your earnings and use your rewards
Use the Bloomeneur profit calculator to estimate what you could earn. The results are only an estimate, not a guarantee. With Petal Rewards you earn 1 petal for every $1 you spend, 10 petals are worth $1, and you can redeem from 500 petals ($50).
