Airbnb for Florists? A New Way to Find Studio Space and Freelancers
In this episode, Jen sits down with Melanie and Michelle, the founders of Fleurspace, a brand new platform designed to help florists solve some very real problems in the floral industry — like finding temporary studio space, renting cooler space, hiring freelancers, finding setup crews, and getting support in new markets.
If you have ever wondered how you would pull off a bigger wedding, work in another state, find freelance floral help, or rent studio space for a few days, this episode will introduce you to a tool that could make all of that easier. Melanie describes Fleurspace as “Airbnb for florists” — a place where florists can list studio space, workshop space, freelance services, and support roles, and where other florists can search for the help they need.
Melanie shares her background as a florist with 22 years of experience, while Michelle talks about her entrepreneurial background and how the idea for Fleurspace came together. Together, they explain how the platform works, who it is for, and why they believe it can create more flexibility and opportunity in the floral world.
In this episode, they cover:
- What Fleurspace is and how it works
- Why it is being called “Airbnb for florists”
- How florists can list studio space, workshop space, and cooler access
- How freelancers, drivers, setup crews, and strike crews can list their services
- How florists can rent space or hire help as needed
- Why this could be a game changer for destination work, larger events, or home-based studios
- How payments and bookings work through the platform
- Why this could help florists take on bigger weddings with less panic
- How Fleurspace is already growing beyond the United States
Why this matters for florists
This episode is especially valuable for florists who:
- run a home-based studio
- need temporary cooler space
- want to freelance more
- need setup or strike help
- want to expand into larger weddings
- need more flexibility without committing to permanent studio overhead
- want to work in new markets or new states
Key takeaway
You do not always need to build everything from scratch in your business. Sometimes the right support, the right space, or the right freelancer can help you take on opportunities you otherwise would have passed up. Fleurspace is trying to make that support more accessible for florists.
