Our December Instagram Feed

-
Another month of fun Instagram photos. Thought I'd share the behind the scenes from December!  Here a photographer posts a photo of a bridal bouquet we created in November and we share it on our feed! 
Our Princeton store decorated for the holiday season! 

Kevin and Alanna build a balloon archway for a non-profit awards breakfast in Woodbridge. This is a new frame for us and it really turned out great. It's 12 feet tall!! 

A winter wedding of teals and white, snowflakes and birch branches at Old York Country Club in Bordentown, NJ. 

A 3 foot tall boxwood tree decorated with real peacock feathers  for the Princeton Residence Inn. Even the ribbon had the peacock feather design! 

We held 3 design classes during the month of December including this wreath making class. The students really did a great job. 

Design Alanna went out to a club meeting for a demonstration and then then attendees bought what she made. 

Lots of holiday themed floral designs leaving the shop, like this one being delivered in the Princeton area. 

It's not all Christmas designs at this time of year, we presented and created a few flowers for funerals also this month, including this one for a man who was a big Harley Davidson Fan.
It's not all about flowers and plants at the shop during the Christmas season, we also create beautiful food baskets for both personal and corporate gift giving. 
There you have it a peek into our Instagram Feed in December this year!
