What's New at the Shop?

-
Ok, ok, I know what you thinking. Why do you have Christmas product displayed at the shops already?? Right, come on, you were thinking it. I could hear you through my computer but honestly it's because people seem to want to buy it. Take these pretty ornaments that just came in. The first day we displayed them, someone came in and bought 2 right off the bat!  
Another cute product to arrive are the funny, little pillows and matching coffee mug - nice until proven naughy, the nice list is over-rated. How cute! How could we not put them out when they make us laugh just reading them.  


 Above and below is some of our fall products. Every year at this time we bring back our peanut brittle - yum and our fall and winter scented candles from Yankee Candles.


 Don't forget about our $5 Friday specials. Each Friday we have a special floral deal for only $15. Last week we had mixed bouquets that normally would sell for $15 for only $5 bucks. You can't beat that!
 Popcorn, popcorn and more popcorn. We love doing goodie baskets and these sweet and salty version of the hometown favorite area always a hit in our baskets.
 The fall mums are in, decorated and ready to go. They make great gifts and can be enjoyed inside or out.
 Yup, it's wedding season. Each weekend has us doing 2, 3 and even 4 weddings each week. Add a few sweet sixteens and a mitzvah or 2 and the weekend goes by in flash.
 We love creating fun, unusual arrangements and centerpieces for clients who have special themes. This piece is one of 15 we created for a Corporate function at Forsgate Country Club. I'm thinking they helped remind people to eat their 5 servings of fruit and veggies everyday!
 As I'm fonding of tell other florists, if your shop is not the prettiest thing on the block, you are doing something wrong. We love decorating our store with the change of the season and a little early leaf fall really adds to the fall look, don't you think?
 Balloon bouquets are always popular and we deliver lots and lots of them. Our bouquets consider of mylar and latex balloons and many combinations of the two are popular. These smiley face balloons are our best selling balloon and why not when they make you smile just looking at them. Fast balloon delivery is our specialty and we pride ourselves on not only offering this product line but doing them very creatively!
 Ok, so I had to share. Here's the what the veggie arrangements look like all set up at Forsgate Country Club. The client was super happy and said that all the guests raved over them. Don't you think the cut veggie balloons really make the room look festive?
 Late summer, early fall weddings are so much fun to design for. We loved both of these weddings from last weekend. Greens and creams and accents of brown were created for this Friday night wedding for bride Leslie. Spider mums, hydrangea, mums, queen Anne's lace and loops of lily grass combined for a very striking combo. The bouquet below really had an artsy feel and each bride (there were two as it was a commitment ceremony) carried one styled like this. I thought they were perfect for their Lambertville Inn setting. Looking out over the Delaware River, these bouquets looked natural but elegant.
Well, we hope you enjoyed the little show and tell. The next time you are somewhere near the Princeton Forrestal Village or in downtown Yardley near East Afton Ave, we'd love for you to stop in and say hello. To see more of our delivery offerings please check out our website at www.sendingsmiles.com and we'd love for you to like us on our fan page at www.facebook.com/localflorist and www.facebook.com/sendingsmiles. Make it a great day and happy early fall to you all!

It's amazing what you can do with 12 carnations and a little bit of creativity. Our Floral Designer Rocio loves making puppy arrangements so here she shares her tips with you! Here's what you will need ~ 12 full size carnations, floral glue, floral tape, a floral container, 1/3 of a block of floral foam and some assorted greenery.  First take your wet floral foam and tape it securely into your floral container.  Slowly start adding the 12 carnations starting with the top to form the head, the ears, the face and the 2 front legs.   Keep going, adding carnations but only using 12 total!  Now he has his 2 front legs, sitting over the edge of the container.  Using the floral glue, add the eyes and the nose. Be creative here. We use eyes and noses for the floral industry but you can use felt, screws or even a pip cleaner to form these facial features.   Next, start filling in with assorted greenery and mosses. This will become his little bed!  Be sure to f

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 . I chucked when I read that because we make all of our Grave Blankets custom for each customer and no two ever look exactly the same. The folks who order them from us are looking for something lush and beautiful with many holiday and winter accents like this one that has golden lotus pods, ilex winter berry, glittered pine cones, red velvet rib
