A Monday in the Petal Shed...

So what does a Monday in the petal shed consist of?  Well there's usually a whole host of orders that have come in over the weekend so the first job is downloading and processing them all- Jess gets this role. Then there's customer queries and emails, Jess is often at the end of the phone with a good old friendly 'Hello Shropshire Petals...'  I myself (Katie) take a good interest in what people are ordering so i'll have a quick look at what the colour of the day is.  

I do the same with our the samples we send out as they show us what colours people are looking for - there's lots of new colours in the pipe line for this summer!  Our petal pots are full of our colours and the most popular mixes, we use these ones for making up sample requests.  So today's colours were Pink Lemonade, Candyfloss and Lady Grey- looks light light pink and grey are top of the trends. 

Today's favourite is a mix of 'Lady Grey' and 'Icing Sugar', grey and white confetti in a Shropshire Box with pink cones.  The Shropshire Box has 25 cones and all your confetti included so it's a complete confetti package.  

The confetti pails are selling well too, cream is very popular at the moment, a popular base colour as it goes with everything so order a nice bright confetti mix for a cream pail and let the confetti stand out. 

I went to a wedding at the weekend, my first of the year so looks like wedding season is now most certainly upon us.  So with the petal shed buzzing with orders and the general madness of a Monday there was a lot of chatting, not a bad day at the office (I mean shed!).  I'll put the pics up from the wedding tomorrow so be sure to have a looksie.

Love as always SP x x
