This is a great money maker. You could contract to do weddings, funerals, formal parties, etc... I myself would stay away from working with fresh flowers as they can be expensive to maintain. Not only that but if you don't sell them they die and your out a significant amount of money over the course of time. Find out what flowers are popular in your area. For instance in Texas the yellow rose is popular. Although you can't miss with roses because most women love roses. You could also sell seasonal arrangements. Look in your local yellow pages you will find flower distributors. Also look on the Internet. You will find a host of flower distributors. Good luck.<br><b>References : </b><br> One thing you may want to do is consider making your own flower arrangements. This is a great money maker.
