9:30AM - 10:00AM Spotting & Purchasing for Trends
EDUCATION:
Inspiration can strike from anywhere and admittedly, it seems like new “trends” are popping up daily – per TikTok. It can feel overwhelming to break through the noise and “be on trend” but once you figure out the trend(s) that align with your brand and customer, that’s where the magic can happen. Join us for tips on trend spotting and ensuring your purchases are the ones that your consumers want.
ROUND TABLE DISCUSSION Qs:
Where do you look for inspiration? How do you decipher which trends will resonate with your brand and customer and which ones, you can leave behind? What is a trend that you love right now? Is there a trend you see coming?
SPEAKER: Beth O’Reilly, AIFD, TMF, Product & Business Development Manager, DUTCHESS BOUQUETS

This collection encourages an interactive opportunity for consumers to make our planet greener by planting items that are included in their bouquets. From succulent cuttings to seed planting, each product contains easy to follow instructions to start a mini garden directly from the cut flower bouquet and packaging! Plus, with eco-friendly packaging and sustainably sourced materials, consumers can feel good about enjoying their flowers and actually growing their owns plants too.
All Plant Me Bouquet flowers are sourced from our farms with Rainforest Alliance Certifications. We use Stone Paper sleeves on our Plant Me- Seed Paper Bouquets that are designed to reduce the amount of plastic in the supply chain and reduce the carbon footprint creating a positive environmental impact from the purchase. The stone products are strong, beautiful, and retain water, and they run on existing manufacturing equipment.
Our Plant Me Seed Paper Picks, included in the new collection, contain germinable seeds inside of recycled paper picks. The seed paper can be sprouted and planted for the end consumer’s gardening enjoyment and education.
All Plant Me Arrangements come in a 100% recycled paper pulp vase. These hand crafted vessels retain water and have no added chemicals. No trees are harmed in the making of these paper vessels and the manufacturer is SEDEX certified to be completely safe for workers handling the material.
The “Plant Me” line of products aims to educate and involve consumers on creating a greener planet, creating an opportunity for reducing waste and planting more carbon rich plants on the planet. By choosing our "Plant Me" bouquets, you are not only bringing beauty into your home but also contributing to educating sustainable future. We believe that every small step counts, and with each purchase, you're supporting eco-friendly practices and promoting biodiversity. Together, we can make a difference, one bouquet at a time.
