Updated

No fancy camera needed—your phone works perfectly! Follow these simple tips to capture beautiful, scroll-stopping content that shows off your floral designs.

📸 Photo Tips

1. Use Natural Light
• Shoot near a window or outside for soft, even lighting
• Avoid harsh shadows or using flash

2. Keep Backgrounds Clean
• Use plain walls, wooden tables, or your storefront
• Declutter the space so your flowers stand out

3. Try Different Angles
• Straight on for full design
• Top down for flatlays or bouquet wraps
• Close up for texture and detail

4. Stay Steady & Sharp
• Hold your phone steady or use a small tripod
• Tap your screen to focus before snapping the photo

5. Take Extra Shots
• Capture multiple angles and lighting options
• Better to have more than not enough!


🎥 Video Tips

1. Keep It Short & Simple
• 10–20 seconds is perfect
• Show one arrangement or moment at a time

2. Go Behind-the-Scenes
• Film arranging flowers, unboxing blooms, or packing an order
• People love seeing the process!

3. Use Vertical Format
• Always film vertically for Instagram Reels or Stories

4. Stay in Frame & Focused
• Make sure your subject (the flowers!) stays centered and clear
• Avoid fast movements. Slow and steady looks more professional

5. Capture Natural Sound or Stay Silent
• No need to speak or voiceover.


💐 What to Capture

• Fresh arrangements (in vases, wraps, or boxes)
• Seasonal specials or holiday themes
• Market bunches, shop displays, or floral cooler
• You and your team in action
