The Business & Pleasure of Flowers
"You Could Do That..." Ian Prosser & Zoë Gallina Talk Wedding Trends and Family Biz
Episode 277: This week, Lori and Ellie sit down with floral royalty — the dynamic father-daughter duo of Botanica Design Studio, Ian Prosser AIFD and Zoe Gallina. From Scottish flower shops to high-end luxury weddings, these two share the behind-the-scenes of growing a family business over nearly four decades. They talk trends (goodbye blush, hello meadows), share hilarious client stories (yes, there’s a floral phallic centerpiece request), and get real about what it takes to work with family (and how to be good at it.)
Expect wisdom, humor, and a little sass — all wrapped in a beautiful blooming chat. Whether you’re team “timeless elegance” or “clean bespoke,” this is a special one for you, Cliquers. 💐
