Start small, host some parties such as they do with Pampered Chef, there you can sell some of your items to people you know. This will give you an idea of the appeal. Next, you can get some arrangements together and sell them via internet. You want to do some research to see what similar items are selling for.

You need product, a website, and customers. Instead of a store to sell what is available at Walmart, come up with unique offerings and combination. Then offer school color corsages, the offer them to the PTA at cost. Make wedding and funeral arrangements and get referrals through churches.
