Sending Smiles ~

I'll be the first one to admit that buying Dad a gift for Father's Day can be difficult but each year we try to bring a few gift items that will help you show Dad how much you love him! In addition to the usual fun floral designs, plants, food baskets and balloon bouquet, we have some super cute mugs in the shop right now. We have some fun themed mugs such as Golf, Football, Coffee, Fishing and even Police and Fire! Add a Happy Father's Day Balloon and a Greeting card and Dad will feel like King for the day.  To see many more gift ideas for Father's Day (and don't forget, we deliver) be sure to visit our website at www.sendingsmiles.com  

It's that time of year where those adorable kids will be performing their hearts out! It wouldn't be recital time without fresh presentation flower bouquets and what little girl doesn't want to receive them at the end of a wonderful performance!  They dance and play their little hearts out, don't they deserve flowers ? We think so!  Why not let us create something adorable, just for them? We can match their costume or special attire like this one with little lady bugs that perfectly matched the ballerina's costume.Our talented designers can match almost any theme. Call us or stop in and we'd be thrilled to help you! 

At this time of year the shop gets busy with lots of orange and black themed balloon decor and floral arrangements. Princeton Reunions and Graduation creates a whirlwind of activity here at the shop from decorating Hotel lobbies like these balloon decorations below.... To University events like the Varsity Club banquet that had us decorating 85 tables plus a huge stage!  With lots of colorful designs being created as I type this blog like these centerpieces below... The weekend between May and June is always a fun, festive and hectic time in our shop but what's not to love, right? We get to help people celebrate an important milestone in their life with festive balloons and beautiful blooms.  Congratulations Princeton University Class of 2015!!  

The sun is shining and we have finished setting up another Farm Wedding in Hopewell so we had to share a few of the unique elements that both we and the bridal family created! Below is a pretty close up of Bride Brittany's Bridal Bouquets (say that 10 times fast). Created using cut succulent plants, cream stock, lavender spray roses, queen anne's lace, purple waxflower and a very pale lavender hydrangea.  The driveway leading to the farm is long so we placed hanging mason jars of flowers lining  ~ these even have a light in the bottom to glow as guests leave in the evening!   The family really got creative and hung a few ladders from the garage ceiling with lanterns! This must have looked amazing when the light came down!  Here's something fun! The farm ordered a few bales of hay that were 4 feet tall and we created huge letters made from fresh moss in honor of the bride and groom! After the wedding , the hay will feed to horses!  Once inside under the tent
