Wrapped or Arranged ~ that is the question... floral advise for you!

Image
When sending flowers as a gift, we'll sometimes ask you if you would like for us to arrange the flowers or perhaps wrap them. It might sound confusing but it's just the difference between having us provide a "container" for the floral gift or wrapping the bouquet so that the person receiving the flowers can add them to their own vase. Even if the bouquet is just wrapped in pretty paper, it's still arranged in a way that makes it easy to put right into a vase. If you know the recipient would like to "arrange" their own flowers, we can wrap the flowers presentation style and they can have fun designing their own creations! Below is an example of a hand tied bouquet of fresh flowers. When sending flowers to a private home, this might be the way to go as many folks have plenty of vases to choose from in their kitchen cabinets. This also allows us to put as much money as possible into the value of the flowers.  When sending a gift to a nursing home, hosp

Whether you can or can't be with your Mom this Mother's Day ~ sending fresh flowers to either her home or work is never a bad idea. Nothing makes a woman feel more appreciated and special than when our driver pulls up with a fresh flower bouquet complete with your personal message. Mother's Day is May 12, 2019 this year! Have you checked out all our new designs we have added in time for this years Mother's Day holiday ?  Every year we are surprised by what our clients choose for their mother and this year's trend seems to be our "Mono-Floral" designs. What is that, you may ask? It's when the design has all the same type of flowers but perhaps in different colors. A few of the designs pre-selling very well are our all Orchid design, our Amazing Alstroemeria Vases and our simple but elegant all Spray Rose Bouquets.

Sending Flowers as the Final Tribute ~ why you SHOULD send flowers to a funeral

Image
Imagine walking in a funeral home or church. You are there to pay your last respects to a friend, colleague or even family member. As you enter, folks are sitting there, quietly talking but not mingling around. Well, it is a funeral so why would anyone mingle, right? As you enter and decide where to stand, sit or who to talk to you notice that the room is completely devoid of flowers. There's no plants either. Nothing. There's the memorial table or casket with the family sitting in the front but that is it. When you explore this vision, how do you feel about it? How do you feel about the environment? If it makes you feel empty or sad, imagine how the immediate family feel. No one sent flowers? Yes, they may have made donations if they could not attend but the room looks rather dark, sad and quite honestly, dull. That's not to say that churches and funeral homes are not nicely appointed but nothing is as uplifting in a space as fresh flowers. Have you noticed how when th
