PART ONE: Flower Bar founder capitalizes on cocktail trends.

After a few cocktails, who doesn’t feel creative? But so often, following up on those great ideas scribbled on a napkin is another matter.

Unless you’re Atlanta florist Amber Schoepp, that is.

When she left a high-powered job to open a floral boutique called Flower Bar in October 2006, she found a way to carve out a market niche: an exclusive line of Cocktail-Themed Bouquets™.

Flower Bar’s unique cocktail designs are inspired by the latest cocktails trends, cosmos and mojitos to name a few. The come in "single," "double" and "tall” sizes as well as a variety of seasonal "flavors."

“I worked so long and so hard in the corporate world. I frequently met people after work for cocktails and that’s where the idea came from.”

Nestled in Irwin Street Market, a mixed-use space that houses several creative businesses, Flower Bar specializes in weddings and special events. And the cocktail bouquets have been a trendy tonic for her shop.

On her first day of business, she booked a wedding and since then has built a catalog of fun and interesting work, including an Usher video shoot, a design for Flower Magazine’s inaugural debut and a “Dream Girls” launch party. She currently employs four part-time staff.
