Get yourself some portfolio in, with the designs that you had done. And get a website up, so ppl can see your work. And printing costs lots money, this way you save some money. But do get a pretty business card, even spend some money in design fee. And the booklet to introduce yourself (something interesting, maybe like a vase with your information on it).
Then you can contact places like hotels who held weddings, funeral home, restaurants (who display flowers), furniture stores (you can share profit with you).... of course, the angel network (friends and family). Offices who needs some arrangement for front desk..... keep your eyes open and introduce yourself.

You can stop by all the hospitals and funeral homes and ask to display your business cards. You can visit offices, hotels, and business other businesses to introduce yourself and hand them a brochure and business cards.
Also remember, you have to find away to be different than all the other flower shops in your town. Otherwise, why should they chose you over their current provider.

Hey-
I do floral design too. I've had a problem with getting started also. If you come up with any good idea e-mail me rndonnelly@yahoo.com. Do you do silks or live, both?

Use direct mailing campaign and give coupons for your service. If its a small town, make an event out of your grand opening. petition existing business for contracts.

Print up business cards and attatch them to a carnation with a ribbon and pass them out.
