Design tips for this palette
Bird of paradise is the silhouette-defining stem — let it lead.
Use monstera and areca palm as sculptural backdrops.
Don't overcrowd — tropical arrangements need negative space to showcase each stem.
How to price this for your client
A repeatable three-step workflow — every proposal, every client, every wedding.

Set your studio markup (2.5x–3.5x is standard) once in your Fiory account. Every recipe built with these stems inherits that markup automatically — no manual math, no pricing mistakes.
3. Generate the proposal PDF
