Instagram Reels for Florists: 12 Ideas That Actually Get Views (and Orders)

In 2025, florists can’t rely on still photos and hashtags alone. To grow your audience and increase orders, Instagram Reels need to be part of your marketing strategy. But not just any Reels—the ones that play to the strengths of the floral industry: visual beauty, emotion, storytelling, and transformation.

Below are 12 Reels ideas for florists, structured around the proven content formats inside our course, The Florist Growth Manual. Each one is designed to stop scrolls and start sales.

1. Bouquet Making Process

Show the magic in the making

Nothing beats a good time-lapse of a bouquet coming to life. Capture the process from blank table to full arrangement.

Use trending ambient music or voiceovers
Overlay text like “$185 wedding bouquet in 30 seconds”
Show hands, not faces—easier for shy creators

Goal: Prove your craft. Increase AOV by showing why it’s worth it.

2. Montage-Based Content

Quick cuts, emotional flow

Compile 5–10 clips from your day: market visit → bouquet building → delivery moment → happy customer reaction. Sync it to music.

Use trending audios or TikTok-style voiceovers
Add time stamps or location tags
Perfect for “A Day in the Life” Reels

Goal: Build trust, show volume, highlight your lifestyle.

3. Meme & Viral Content

Florist humor = follower magnet

Jump on trending audios, viral captions, or funny customer moments. Add floral spin to universal situations.

Examples:

Lip-syncs to trending audios with flower-related captions

Goal: Grow reach, get saves and shares.

4. Behind-the-Scenes

The messy, human, real moments

Let them see your backroom, floral mess, early mornings, packing chaos, or late-night prep.

Add text: “Not every bouquet starts pretty”
Show boxes arriving, unpacking, sorting
Use natural lighting + phone camera only

Goal: Build connection, demystify the process.

“This one was for a proposal in a jazz bar…”
“Every flower in this arrangement has a meaning”
“My client said ‘just no red’... so we built this”
