Write for Us Florists: Florists Blog Guest Post Guidelines

Search florists write for us and the results are almost all local flower shop pages and delivery listings, one town after another. There isn't a clear guest post page among them, so floristry writers end up pitching gift blogs that don't know a ranunculus from a rose. This blog wants the person behind the counter: what they buy at the market in a slow week, how they plan a wedding arch, why a bouquet that looks lovely in a photo wilts by the evening.

My readers run small businesses, and quite a few of them sell something handmade or seasonal, just like a florist does. Some want to become a florist themselves. Others are comparing flower delivery services for ordering and stock. A good florist post gives them one technique or one shop habit they can use this week.

60-second florists guest post check

A strong submission can answer yes to all five points:

• Do you work as a florist, event florist or floristry trainer
• Is the post about flowers and the flower trade, not gifts in general
• Have you written it yourself, from your own shop or event work
• Does it leave out promo codes and adverts for your shop
• Does the opening answer the reader's question in the first two lines

Read the guidelines and submit your guest post.

What we publish

• Seasonal flowers and what to arrange when
• Wedding and event floral planning, from first meeting to the big day
• A day in the life of a small flower shop
• Choosing software and ordering tools for a florist
• Picking flowers for birthdays, sympathy and thank yous
• Starting out in floristry through training or an apprenticeship
• Keeping cut flowers fresh from the market to the customer
• How a florist handles a busy holiday week without burning out

If your post could be published on any florists site with the logo swapped, it is not for us.

What we look for in florists posts

Florists ask what we'll publish, so here's the short version: the left column gets a yes, the right column gets a polite no.

Topic	What gets accepted	What gets declined
Seasonal flowers	What to arrange when, from someone who buys them	A generic list of pretty flowers
Weddings and events	Planning florals for a real venue and couple	A gallery with no explanation
Running a shop	Day to day habits of a small flower business	An advert for one local shop
Florist tools	How ordering and stock software fits the work	A software brand's own pitch
Training	Routes into floristry and what they teach	A course promotion with no detail

What we don't accept

• Local shop adverts and special offers
• Brand written delivery promotion
• Generic gift lists with no flower focus
• Posts copied from other florists
• Previously published posts republished from another site

What you get

• Your article in front of an engaged audience of business owners, marketers and founders
• One relevant, contextual link back to your own site
• A byline and the credibility of an established, high-traffic blog
• Editorial help to make the piece as strong as it can be before it goes live

How to submit

Send your pitch or draft through the contact form. Include the topic, the one specific problem the post solves, and a line on your first-hand experience with it. One idea per pitch works best. You will hear back on whether it is a fit before you write the full draft.

What a strong florists pitch looks like

A weak pitch says "I'd love to write a post about the top flowers to send for any occasion." A strong one says "I've run a small flower shop for years, and I'd like to explain how I plan a wedding order backwards from the date, what I buy early, what I leave until the week before, and the one flower I won't use in summer." One is a brochure. The other is worth reading.

The angles that get accepted fastest

• Planning a wedding order backwards from the date
• The flowers that travel well and the ones that don't
• Quiet weeks in a flower shop and how to use them
• Software that helps a florist keep track of orders
• Sympathy flowers and getting the tone right
• From apprentice to running a counter of your own
• Conditioning stems so a bouquet lasts
• Talking a couple through their venue flowers

Frequently asked questions

Does Lilach Bullock accept florist guest posts?

Yes. Florist guest posts are welcome from working florists, event florists and floristry trainers. We publish posts on arranging, seasonal flowers, events and running a flower shop, and decline local adverts, special offers and brand written delivery promotion.

What florist topics do you accept?

Seasonal flowers, wedding and event planning, the day to day of a small shop, software and ordering tools, flowers for gifts and occasions, and training routes into floristry. The best posts teach one thing a reader can use straight away.

Do you accept wedding and gift guest posts too?

Yes, but wider wedding planning and gift ideas suit the wedding and gifts pages better. If flowers are the heart of your post, pitch it here. It's the same editor either way.

How long should a guest post be?

Most accepted posts run between 1,200 and 2,000 words. Length matters less than usefulness: a tight 1,200 word post with one clear lesson beats a 3,000 word overview every time. Use short paragraphs, clear subheadings and at least one real example.

Can I include a link back to my own site?

One contextual link back to your own site is fine when it is relevant and helps the reader. Posts written purely to build a backlink with no real value for the reader are not published.

Do you accept previously published content?

No. Every submission must be original and not published anywhere else first, including your own blog, Medium, LinkedIn or a guest slot on another site. Republished or lightly reworded content gets declined, and we check before anything goes live.

Can I use AI tools to help write my guest post?

You can use AI to help with research or tidying your draft, but the experience, examples and opinions must be yours. Posts that read like generic AI output, with no first-hand detail, are declined.

Do you accept sponsored or commercial partnerships?

Commercial and partnership enquiries are handled separately from editorial guest posts. If you are a brand or agency wanting to work together rather than pitch an article, say so in the contact form and you will get the right details back.

How long does a decision take?

We aim to come back to you within a few working days. If the pitch is specific and clearly written, with the result in the first line, the decision is much faster.

Do you edit guest posts before they go live?

Yes. Every accepted post gets an editorial pass for clarity, structure and accuracy, and you may be asked for an extra example or a missing number. The aim is to make your piece as useful as it can be, not to change your voice.

Can I pitch more than one idea?

Yes, but send them one at a time or as a short numbered list with one line each. The strongest pitch goes first, and a single clear idea with a real result almost always beats several vague ones.

How do I submit a florists guest post?

Send your pitch through the contact form with the topic, the specific result or lesson you will cover, and a line on your own experience working as a florist or floristry trainer. One idea per pitch works best, and you will hear back before you write the full draft.
