When to use this
Use this guide for the very beginning: creating the account, the first minutes inside BloomBoard, and what the trial does and does not include.
Step-by-step walkthrough
Start the free trial
Registration starts a 14-day free trial with every feature switched on and no card required. You are signed in immediately and a short onboarding wizard captures the basics about your studio. You can leave the wizard and resume it later; your answers keep.
Signed up on your phone? Carry on there
Signing up on a phone works the same way. The onboarding wizard and the rest of BloomBoard open in your phone’s browser. You can move to a laptop or tablet at any time; your account is the same on every device.
In the BloomBoard phone app, setup is one short screen:
- Type your studio’s name.
- Check the currency. BloomBoard suggests the currency for your location, for example “Based on your location (United States), we suggest US Dollar.” Tap another currency if the suggestion is wrong.
- Tap Open my studio. BloomBoard sets your currency and stocks your library with 200+ flowers and foliage, priced in that currency. The button reads Setting up your library… while it works.
You cannot change the currency later, so check it before you tap. If you already chose a currency on the web, the screen shows it as set.
The phone app also sets your studio’s timezone from your phone the first time an owner or admin opens it, as the web does from your browser. A timezone you picked yourself in Business details stays as you set it.
Verify your email
If you sign up with your email and a password, your welcome email arrives right away and asks you to confirm your address: tap Confirm my email. You are not locked out while unverified, but a banner reminds you, and during the trial the Smart features (such as image generation) ask you to verify before they run. The banner and the dialog both offer a resend. A Google sign-up is verified already when Google has confirmed the address. If it has not, the banner appears: use its resend.
When you open the link in the email, BloomBoard confirms with “You’re verified”. Tap Continue to go to your events. If you open the link on a device where you are not signed in, BloomBoard asks you to sign in first.
Follow the getting-started guide
After the wizard, the getting-started guide lives behind the dashed circle in the navigation rail. It tracks six real milestones, from creating your first event through sending a proposal, and checks them off as you actually do them. Hide it any time; you can restore it later from your Profile settings.
Watch the tour when it suits
A 15-minute tour video is pinned above the guide, and stays available from the play button near Help & Support even after the guide retires. It is entirely optional and never blocks anything.
Choose a plan when you are ready
Choose your plan shows the Core and Studio options with a days-left pill while your trial runs. Prices include VAT where it applies. Your work is safe either way; if the trial runs out first, everything you built is waiting when you subscribe. While your trial runs, Back to your dashboard at the top of the page takes you back to your work. On a phone, the plans stack and the highlighted plan shows first.
What the trial holds back
The trial has every Studio feature, including your public enquiry link and the Price guide, except one:
- It is single-user: team invitations unlock when you choose a plan.
Everything else is there to use with real work, which is the best way to know whether BloomBoard fits your studio.
Registering from a plan link on the website preselects that plan later. If you were invited to an existing studio instead, follow the invitation link and you will land directly in that account, with no trial of your own needed.
