This Instagram Influencer Dresses Up Cocktails With Flowers

Go With What You Know

The Los Angeles based florist incorporates plants into his photos because that’s what he loves. “I’m always influenced and inspired by flowers. And the fact that gin is a floral base liquor is obviously an easy stage,” Spencer explained about creating Tanqueray & Tonic cocktails that are as beautiful and colorful as they taste.

Color, Color, Color

When it comes to your own feed — whether you add flowers, plants or dreamy landscapes — don’t be afraid to play around with bright tones. “I think that color is always something to be considerate of when being creative,” the florist added. “Color is definitely something that inspires the change in season.”

What’s on the Horizon?

Fall is creeping up on us and Spencer loves incorporating different colors into his own Instagram to keep up with the trends. “I can definitely see more people coming toward the end of summer looking into those tones that are warmer, brighter — maybe some reds, maybe some oranges,” he said. ” I personally like to keep a pretty neutral palette through most of my posts and [add] pops of color. I’m definitely feeling the reds and oranges at the moment … Red just seems like a sexy, cool color for a nightlife.”

Make It Pop

When it comes to your photos, Spencer recommends using “one particular color that stands out” against a more neutral base that won’t “take attention away too much.”

How the Real Pros Do It

While it’s fun to snap photos in the moment, Spencer advised to use a real camera to step up your social media game. “Making sure the quality of the image is good from the get-go whether it’s going to be posted on Instagram, printed in a magazine, put on a website or anything,” he noted. “Quality is very tangible, very palpable.”

Feeling Fresh

How can you pretty up your own social media feed? “I think that it’s often about really making it authentic. To incorporate more natural elements into your photos is to incorporate more natural elements into your life,” he suggested.

Make It Yours

During his partnership with Tanqueray, Spencer was able to work with celebrity photographer Mike Rosenthal and took away a good piece of advice. “Authenticity just rings true. I’ve definitely experienced that working with Mike, working with the Tanqueray team, is everything being so natural from everyone’s standpoint,” he explained.
