Mother's Day is just around the corner -- have you contacted your florist yet?

On this episode of Flower Talk Alaska, Kasara, Natasha and Taline talk about what it's like to be in the floral industry during major floral holidays.

Why are roses more expensive on Valentine's Day? Why are wedding florals so expensive? Why isn't my favorite florist available for an event on May 9?

We'll answer all these questions, plus, Taline has a helpful tip on prolonging the life of your flowers at home.

Our first guest, woo hoo! Flower Talk Alaska is thrilled to have Lorell David on the show to talk about the Alaska Wedding Network, our 2026 sponsor and an all-around amazing resource.

Lorell talks about how she started the network and why it's a useful tool for people planning their weddings in Alaska. She also discusses her 15 years of experience as a wedding planner and things she's learned along the way. Kasara, Natasha and Taline had an opportunity to ask a wedding planner some burning questions and of course, we talk about the tight-knit creative community in Alaska.

In epsiode 6 of Flower Talk Alaska, we continue our discussion from the previous episode about collaborative photoshoots and setting boundaries. Kasara, Natasha and Taline are all firm believers in "Community over competition," and we talk about our experiences collaborating with other vendors in Alaska. We also discuss how creatives shouldn't undervalue themselves.
