Even Florists Have Fun

-
Happy Monday! Can you believe we are just 1 week away from Christmas? The holiday season is a busy one for us here at the shop and in addition to a higher than usual volume, we still have all the usual tasks to squeeze in. We still have to design floral arrangements for birthdays, get well, sympathy, and even weddings. Toss in the fact that we too want to enjoy the holidays with family and friends and it makes for a super busy time for all of us! 
Designer Norman makes a huge Boxwood Tree for a customer. Don't you love all the pods and flowers? Makes such a sweet gift for the holidays.  
It's that time of year where not only do we decorate for parties, we try to attend a few too. This holiday event was held at the Rocky Hill Inn for a group I belong to called Coffee Talk. It's a group of us that get together to discuss Social Media and other Marketing Topics for Business.  
The hubby even took a little time to play Santa to some children at Springdale Country Club in Princeton last Saturday. It's always nice to get a big hug from Santa!  
Parties, parties and more parties - like these 18 centerpieces we created for a Corporate Holiday gathering at Chauncey Conference Center this past weekend.  
The Windrows holiday luncheon also had us making 20 floral centerpieces - something fun and simple and the residents love them! 
Believe it or not we do a fair amount of wedding during December too, like this one at the Nassau Inn this past Friday. We have a wedding this Friday too and another on the 28th and 31st!
We love our in store DIY events, like this one teaching floral centerpiece design for the holidays. Yup, there is always something going on around here during the holiday season! Don't forget, flowers make great gifts for Christmas we have lots of beautiful floral designs on our website at www.sendingsmiles.com with same day delivery to Princeton, Yardley and 70 other zip codes. We want to be your "Real" ~ "Local" Florist.

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.

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 .
