Our Instagram Feed in October!

-
We've been having so much fun posting on Instagram and sharing our world here at the flower shop. Alanna has been doing a wonderful job and it's fun to take a look back at some of our favorite and popular posts from October. 
A few highlights from Jennifer and Darren's wedding at the Westin hotel. We loved all the purple!
This months design class was a fun time had by all - making spooky martini floral centerpieces! This photo was part of the "Instagram Takeover" with Princeton Online. Feel free to link here to see more of our design classes that are coming up! 
We love the autumn shades with lots of rich reds in the designs we created for Jennifer and Jim's wedding at the Nassau Inn. 
October is a super busy month for balloon work like this balloon arch for the Leukemia and Lymphoma light the night walk in Morris Plains. This was a team of George and Alanna while Kevin built the same exact displays in Sewell and Long Branch. Now that's a lot of traveling and a lot of helium! 
Funeral floral designs keep us busy all year round and October was no exception. In addition to designs sent to homes for sympathy, we handled at least 6 family funerals during the month, each requiring multiple custom floral designs. 
In addition to weddings, we created custom floral centerpieces for lots of social events such as these Bar Mitzvah centerpieces at Chauncey Conference Center. We are thinking Peacock Feathers are going to make a big come back for 2016 if this event is any indication of future trends! 
We love using Instagram to share our new arrivals like these Sunday Greetings ~ greeting card line that arrived earlier this month. 
We can't help but toss a few "non-floral" related photos on Instagram such as this Networking event I attended with some of my favorite business owners ~ Debbie Schaeffer of Mrs. G's Appliances and April Sette of New Jersey Buzz Radio. I hope you enjoyed this look back into our October Instagram Feed!!

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 b...

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...
