From The Design Bench in Spring

-
 I always love talking about how flowers are an artform. I think folks sometimes forget that each and everyone is made, made care by a talented foral designer. Here our designer makes spring wedding bouquets for bride Katie.
This huge glass bowl was filled with many fresh stems of imported Dutch Tulips, lily grasses and fatsia leaves. Designer Norman always has fun with designs like this and we are sure it made for a big impact when this amazing arrangement was received! Sometimes we are matching an arrangement on our website but the most favorite thing for our designers to do is create something custom, like this arrangement. At this time of year the tulips are plentiful but their season is just about over. We also bring tulips in from California, Canada and Virginia. I think they are one of the most beloved flowers we work with in Spring.

Folks like Shop Coordinator Sheryl and your truly help out during busy time. Sheryl especially loves doing Gourmet Baskets and she our resident balloon pro along with Sales Associate Melissa who often helps out with balloon events.

 Tropical designs have been very popular lately and if you are trying to WOW someone, their huge blooms are the best way to go. Imagine getting this arrangement? This one was created and designed in our shop for Professional Administrative's Day. Imagine getting this from your Boss? I'm sure this made all the other girls in the office very jealous! Design Manager Holly loves doing designs like these. All thought they cost a premium over other more basic floral designs, the WOW factor can't be missed on an arrangement like this one.
 Well, there you have it.  A link into the design bench during the Spring here at Monday Morning Flower and Balloon Co.

Never heard of a Grave Blanket? Don't worry, your probably aren't alone. Here in the north east is customary to have a lovely "blanket" made from ever greens and winter accents to be placed on the grave of a loved one.  It's just a nice remembrance during the holiday season to make the graveside look a bit more decorated and festive.  According to Ask.com   "A  Grave blankets are a type of flower design that is used to decorate graves. They are made in a variety of sizes and styles, for example, standard, cascading, traditional, and double wide. Each of these styles has a specific design and flower capacity .
