Off to do our first Bloomflora wedding...!

 

We're off to do our first Bloomflora wedding!  I can't believe it's finally here... It's been 3 days of crazy hours. My fingers are battered from all the cuts I have and aching from hand wiring so many flowers..and I have spray paint and glue stuck to them.. This is the not so glamorous part of being in the flower business..A small price to pay when you're doing something you love!  Diana and I are ready to go through our checklist and then we're off to pack up the truck to make our brides dream come to life.  Stay tuned for more...Enjoy!

lilacs for the table...

 

This past Sunday I did an arrangement for a Christening. The client wanted a lush soft spring bouquet with lilac... When I placed it on he table it just fit perfectly, as though I had been in her house before.

I love that!  The client was very happy.  Here is a picture in my shop and a pick at her table.

Enjoy!

Mother's Day

Okay, now that we have gotten passed the Grand Opening, we are in full swing with Mother's Day preparations! Why not "Make Mom Smile" with flowers is our simple yet beautiful tag line.  As a mother, not just a florist, flowers would most definitely make me smile. I'm sure all you moms out there would agree.

Here is a peak at our new window and the Mother's day blooms we're offering this year.

Enjoy!

  

Our First "Flora" Workshop at the Boutique!

 We are very excited about hosting our first "Flora" workshop.. {Flowers for the Table}

Although mother nature seems to be a little confused this year, we thought it would be nice to step into Spring with the loveliest of seasonal blooms.

 Look forward to meeting our new Bloomflora friends!

 

Please feel free to call us or stop by the shop with any questions.

We're finally open!

 

We are finally open! It's been three days and we have had so many well wishes.  Everyone is stopping in to see the new shop in town. 

 

It's exciting having the windows uncovered, curious neighbors stop to see what's inside. 

Blue Danube natural body scrubs smell so scrumptous, you just want to eat them up!

 Fresh flowers make the shop feel complete. 

 

We are looking forward to all the new experiences that lie ahead!! 

Bridal bouquet for photo shoot...

I was so excited when I was asked to create a bridal bouquet for a photo shoot.  My client left it up to me to select the flowers, she just requested a romantic, summery bouquet comprised of white, soft pink and a touch of yellow for a nautical theme she was producing. So I went to the flower market in the city, which I absolutely loooove to do. Look at the picture below and you will completely understand why!  As soon as I saw these anemones and huge ranunculus, I was hooked. I went later on in the day.... actually 10:00 am, which is considered late,  so some of the flowers I was considering where already gone. Although, I was not disappointed and neither was my client.  She loved it.  She brought in some props the morning of the shoot and we styled and arranged more flowers in vases and off she went. As soon as I get the photos I will post them.  I cannot wait to see the final result!

Back to my shop.  Flowers conditioned and drinking...

The bouquet looks pretty in a vase too.. 

Enjoy!
