Sending Smiles ~

Don't you just love daisies, especially pink daisies? So do we and how fun it was to create this sweet bouquet for a bride picking it up at our Yardley store last week. A mixture of light and medium pink gerbera daisies accented with fresh waxflower. Such a sweet, early spring bouquet ~ just makes us happy looking at it. Wedding season is just around the corner so be sure to come back often to see all the new wedding flowers trends for 2013. 

If you missed our floral design event in February, don’t worry!   We are having a second class in our Yardley PA location on April 11 th , from 6:00-8:00PM.   Join us for wine and snacks while you learn the basic principles of floral design.   With a great turnout for our Princeton floral design class, we are excited to host this event is Yardley also.   At our Princeton floral design event, all participants began the night with unarranged flowers...   Enjoy a night out, meet other locals, and learn how to create a beautiful floral arrangement.   Our designers will go over everything from balance and proportion to focal point and accent. And after a night with one of our designers, arrangements turned out beautifully! You can sign up for Yardley’s floral design event on our website or call the shop at 215-493-1400.   We have a quaint shop in Yardley so this is sure to be a relaxed, fun night out – but space is limited, so don’t forget to sign up today!

Keeping with the St. Patrick's Day theme, this weeks $5 Flower Friday is a small Shamrock plant decorated for the holiday weekend. We also have very cool green flower bouquets... aren't they pretty?   Haven't heard about our $5 Flower Friday specials? Each Friday we offer (at both stores of course) a special flower deal for only $5. Last week we had bouquets of iris and the week before that we had bouquets of freesia.  We know the supermarket has cheap flowers but what we try to offer are flowers you won't see in the market and ones we usually sell for $15, $20 or even $30 on other days. It's our way of making it worth your while to stop in, say hi and buy flowers from us instead of picking them up when you go shopping. In doing so, we hope you remember us for all those other special times when flowers are the perfect fit to the occasion. These little cutie of a plant are limited but we hope to see you at either of our stores ~ Princeton Forrestal Village

You know what they say, everyone is Irish on St. Patrick's Day ! Although it's not a huge floral holiday for us, we do send out our fair share of fun, Irish themed floral arrangement, and I'll bet this years Irish Puppy will be our best seller. With our shop in Princeton, NJ and Yardley PA, we deliver to over 70 zip codes - even on Sunday!  All green arrangements are always popular but never more so that on March 17th. This arrangement below called Green Graces is on our website year round but it's especially popular during this holiday!    Don't you just love Bells of Ireland ? Yes, those tall stalks of lovely green bell shaped flowers. We use Bells of Ireland in our arrangements year round but at this time of year they take on special meaning!    Don't you just love this hand tied bouquet of all green flowers with the little shamrock made from wire? This Shamrock Bouquet is the perfect gift for the holiday weekend for someone who has their ow

All of Your Prom Corsage and Boutonniere Questions- Answered! What is a prom corsage? A prom corsage is a small floral arrangement to be worn on a female’s wrist or collar. The prom corsage is typically purchased and given to her by her prom date. The wrist corsage is the most common kind, and is typically chosen to match the prom dress. What is a boutonniere? A boutonniere is a floral design worn by a male on the lapel of a suit or tux. The boutonniere is typically bought for him by his prom date and is chosen to match the prom corsage. What wrist is the corsage worn on? Proper etiquette calls for the corsage to be worn on the left wrist, unless the person wearing it is left-handed. If left-handed, the corsage can be worn on the right wrist. Do the corsage and boutonniere have to match? It is not a rule that they match, however the couple will look more put together if they do. The boutonniere gives a touch of color to match the male to his prom date though

Although we've provided corsages over the years for this inspiring event, this was the first year that I actually helped out by not only being on the Committee but was Co-Chair! What a great night it was!  Here I am with past honorees Debbie Schaeffer and Denise Taylor. It was so nice to have them in the audience again this year.    This is the first time the organization paired a raffle with the event and thanks to Hamilton Jewelers who donated a lovely pearl necklace. The ladies of the YWCA did a great job selling those raffle tickets and over $2,000 was raised!  While the ladies shared cocktails in the lobby, my dear husband along with Designer Holly and Matt helped set up the 39 tables of centerpieces we donated the nights event! Kevin worked hard to light all those floating candles!    The efforts were worth it and the guests loved the centerpieces .   Another year that Monday Morning Flower and Balloon Co was happy to help out with a great event and a great

It's funny how product we sell goes in cycles and right now folks are all wanting plants. As you may know, we make our own dish gardens, terrariums and planters and last week plants arrived from our Greenhouse Suppliers 3 times. Each time, they practically flew off the shelves with bromeliads, violets and mini calla lily plants being the best sellers.  Imagine Designer Norman's face when this new Terrarium House arrived on Friday. He went right to work creating a little garden inside. This one is quite large and sells for 159.95 so if you are looking for a unique and special gift idea, this might be the perfect thing for you. These pretty gardens are not available on our website but we'd be happy to create one just for you so give us a call at 609-520-2005.  This morning new tropical plants arrived including these mini bromeliads and they are just so colorful. Easy  to care for, these are the perfect little hostess or corporate gift. To see more examples of our pl
