Top gift ideas:
Greeting Cards- Money is the most popular wedding gift these days so make sure you give a card that is a gift in itself.

IN OUR STORE: Our new line of scrapbook style wedding cards from Leanin’ Tree is sure to make a big impression.  Cards vary from 2.45 - 2.95 in various styles and sizes.

Photo Frames- Photo frames are always a must have when it comes to wedding gifts, especially larger 8×10 or 11×14 frames.

IN OUR STORE: We have a mosaic glass frame from Russ that will match any home decor.  Also, for a sepia photo, think about our barn siding frames that are made from rustic wood!

IN OUR STORE: We have plant stands, china cabinets, unique candles, cafe tables, pie safes and many more options that are all in neutral colors.
Great wedding finds for the bride, in our store:

Replica Silk Bouquets- Instead of having your bouquet preserved think about having a permanent replica made.  The price is a lot less than preserving methods and the bouquet will stand up to years of dust and dirt with no need to enclose in glass!

Gifts for Parents and Attendants-  We have a full color catalog that is filled with the hottest trends in parent and attendant gifts.  Beautiful photo albums, personalized letters, and other great items make perfect gifts for anyone in your bridal party.

Invitation Shadowbox- Another new addition to our wedding collection…we take your invitation, program and add a few silk flowers that you used in your bouquet to make a beautiful invitation shadow box.  Great to hang on the wall in your new home!

We hope that you found some unique gift ideas for weddings and look for our next gift of the month section: Mother’s Day Gifts!!

We recently received our copy of the new Wedding Flower Style book from John Henry and it is incredible! Over 5 sections of full color photos line each page. There is even a section just for cake flowers and finishing touches. The sections that are broken down by color make it easy to navigate for brides, just flip to your colors and browse…it’s that easy!

I don’t expect every bride to fall in love with the book because some of the images are very modern and contemporary. It’s meant to be an inspiration and some of the price points are very high for our area but, if you use the book as a guide and work with us to create your own style from the images, you will have a dream wedding filled with beautiful flowers!

Look for all of the images to be uploaded to our website soon but for now I have attached a few of the most unique images as a teaser…just click the image to see a larger version.

I have the most wonderful job in the world. I work with a product every day that can convert tears into a smile, anger into forgiveness, friendship into love, and loss into comfort. When someone asks me what the best part of my job is, I always smile and think of all the memories that I share with my customers. From first dates to 50 year anniversaries they all are memories that are created from just one thing…flowers!

Customers always comment on how depressing it must be to see grieving families come in and out of the shop every day but that couldn’t be further from the truth. As soon as they see the flowers immediately the tears pause. There is always a story about why Grandma HATED red roses and they could never order them for her casket piece. Or that Mom always planted tulips so that would be the flower of choice. It’s those memories that make my job more fulfilling than any other career path that I could have chosen.

It’s the memories of the young girl who comes in preparing for her first “big” dance. There is not a detail left unturned from the hair, shoes, makeup and jewelery…the flowers are the icing on her cake and she wants them perfect!

Now, speaking of cake….of course we can’t forget THE BRIDE! When she spends up to a year planning for one of the biggest days of her life, we are right by her side giving her advice on colors, flower types and other items to complete her floral story. The emotions that are involved with a wedding are one of the many that make me smile the most. Seeing the groom with his nervous smile while his mom pins on his boutonniere…it’s priceless!

I could go on and on about the memories that my product helps create…the first arrangement for a new baby, the friendship arrangement with the “just because” card, the “I’m sorry” arrangement from the husband to his wife (sorry guys but we don’t deliver that many I’m sorries from wife to husband ). All of those memories that we create makes what I do the job of a lifetime.

I will not become a millionaire by being a florist but getting to share in all of those memories makes me the richest person in the world! Thank you for letting me share in all of your memories…it’s why I do what I do

I get so excited every year when prom season rolls around. All of the girls come in with their golden tans to pick out the perfect corsage to match the dress that they shopped for weeks to buy. They come in dragging their dates behind them looking for the perfect tuxedo and corsage.

Corsages are so different now than when I was in high school. You had three choices, roses, daisies or mini carnations. Boy are things different now! I whip out my John Henry Homecoming and Prom Flowers book and by page three the girls are mesmerized by the amount of choices that they really DO have. Orchids, freesia, gerberas…Oh MY! There are lights and glitter and wire and every other option under the sun! The girls often can’t choose between one and fifteen others and say there are too many choices. So I came up with an easy way to help them pick out the best corsage for them.

I give the “flower personality test” and can usually judge exactly what kind of corsage the girl will like after three questions.
1. What is your favorite flower? If a girl says daisy I know she isn’t going to like something really, really funky. She is more traditional and I can show her something like a mini gerbera daisy corsage that will knock her socks off.

2. What is your favorite restaurant? If a girl says a high end restaurant I know that I can show her an all stephanotis corsage with little rhinestones in the middle and she will feel like the belle of the ball.

3. What does your dress look like? If the girl describes it down to the “T” from the way the back is to the color of the rhinestones on the bodice I know that she has attention to detail and spent a loooonnnnggg time picking out her dress and she loves it. This customer is going to want something that matches exactly and is perfect.

So, if you are coming into the shop for prom think of those three questions because there is a good chance you are going to hear them! If you want to see more of our prom collection visit our prom section with images from our new PROM BOOK!!

Oh, I think I hear another prom couple looking through our books out front….gotta go!
