Pick the one that fits your brand—and keep it consistent across all shots.
🎯 Pro tip: Find one wall, table, or setup you can reuse often. That becomes your signature.
Step 2: Use a Signature Framing Style
Do you shoot:
Overhead?
Side angle on a pedestal?
Close-up on details?
Bouquets held in hand?
Choose 1–2 go-to angles that define your style. That doesn’t mean you can’t mix it up—just that your default is familiar.
This creates continuity in your grid and helps customers spot your posts in their feed.
Step 3: Stick to a Color Vocabulary
Your brand colors shouldn’t just show up on your logo—they should influence your entire Instagram palette.
Ask yourself:
Are you drawn to neutrals (beige, white, pale pink)?
Do you want to emphasize bold pops (magenta, yellow, emerald)?
Do you prefer a pastel or earthy tone overall?
Now go back through your last 15 posts. Is the color vibe consistent?
🎨 Real florist example:
A Dallas-based florist posts only white-and-green arrangements with soft stone backgrounds. The result? Her grid looks like a high-end design magazine.
Step 4: Choose a Grid Rhythm
Some florists overthink the “perfect” grid layout.
You don’t need a checkerboard or carousel puzzle. But rhythm helps.
Here are a few easy formats that work:
2 product posts → 1 behind-the-scenes
1 bouquet → 1 testimonial → 1 reel of you designing
Alternate flat-lay and vertical shots
The key: plan 9 posts at a time and preview them in a layout tool like Later or Canva.
When you zoom out, your feed should look like you.
Step 5: Add Brand Details
Visual branding goes beyond flowers.
You can weave in other recognizable elements:
Your signature wrapping paper
A specific ribbon color or card
Custom sticker or stamp
Your hands (yes, seriously—people remember them!)
A signature prop (like a wood tray, marble block, or gold scissors)
These details tell a story—and build familiarity.
Step 6: Use Consistent Editing (Even If It’s Just Your Phone)
You don’t need Lightroom presets or a full camera rig.
Just make sure your brightness, contrast, saturation, and warmth stay relatively the same.
📱 Apps that help:
VSCO (filters with subtle tweaks)
Snapseed (great for tuning brightness and cropping)
Instagram built-in tools (just don’t overdo it)
Make yourself a preset or editing checklist and apply it to every post. That’s your visual glue.
Bonus: Build a Recognizable Reel Style
Photos build the grid.
Reels build the reach.
But don’t let them ruin your visual vibe.
Tips:
Use consistent cover images
Stick to 1–2 fonts for text overlays
Open with a branded shot (hands, bouquet wrap, etc.)
Even in motion, you want your brand identity to show through.
