Another great to be apart of. So much fun making these Covid postponed weddings finally happen!

Over nearly 2 years of consulting with this bride (due to Covid delays) we developed a bond. Her sacrifices in the ER were rewarded with her perfect wedding. Here’s to less need for ER folks and more for flowers!

Ever wonder what the inside of my cooler looks like on a busy weekend of weddings? This is one side of it.

Another wonderful wedding done. Great bride introduced me to wood flowers. They look SOOOO Real too and a forever gift to some lucky guests.

Tori was great. She loved flowers as much as I do! The purple up lighting makes for a neat effect but not great pics with my phone. I should have thought to use a flash maybe.
Her sweet mom took almost all the flowers to an assisted living place yesterday so they could repurpose everything in their flower arranging class. Lots of residents will have some of her flowers to enjoy.

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:

"I promise you nothing is as chaotic as it seems. Nothing is worth diminishing your health. Nothing is worth poisoning yourself into stress, anxiety, and fear.

A flower blooming in the desert proves to the world that adversity, no matter how great, can be overcome.”

Just a touch of what’s been happening lately. A big thank you to my extra special brides and their families for honoring me with their trust!

09/07/2019

What an exceptional day! Thanks Kristin! Honored I was part of making your day special!

I’m flattered and honored today with reading the review a recent bride posted on The Knot!! What fun to ride the chairlift with a box of flowers for the arch!

It has taken me the longest to write a review for Linda at Flowers Forever. I can't quite put into words how happy I was with choosing her. She was more than amazing! I can't even describe how she saw my vision having never met me. She spent countless hours on the phone with me as well as emails and text messages just showing her what I envisioned! She did not disappoint one bit. From the moment i saw my bouquets and then walked down the aisle, my breath was taken away . Linda is obviously passionate about what she does because her creations truly show it. She went above and beyond to make the most beautiful arrangements. Linda is so creative, and her helpful ideas fit my budget beyond what I ever expected. Her prices are exceptionally reasonable for the high quality service she provides. Linda, if your reading this, your the best!!! You made my dream wedding of sunflowers come true.

Thanks Jessica for the amazing review! It was a pleasure being a part of your special day!

Florals that leave you breathless!
Linda was incredible to work with and after meeting her we knew she was who we had to choose to do our florals. Not only is her work beautiful but it is also an amazing value. Most importantly the passion she has and the attentiveness to your vision is unmatched.

We loved working with her!

For those who like knowing more about roses.

THE BREEDER DILEMMA

Over the years, breeders have focused on creating hybrids that are hardy, disease resistant, and with pretty petals. Unfortunately, in the process, fragrance was actually bred out of most of these varieties. Scientists believe there is a compatibility issue between genes that are disease resistant and genes that create fragrance. In cultivated roses, scent has no reproductive function, so if commercial roses lose their scent, it has no impact on the livelihood of the variety. This may be OK for growers, whose main goal is to get a quality stem to a florist, however, the consumer feels cheated. Fragrance, afterall, is the soul of the rose.

WHY WILD ROSES ARE DIFFERENT

Wild roses could not survive without their scent because it attracts bees and other insects that pollinate its flowers. Without this natural pollination, the variety would die out. Wild roses genetically evolve to keep producing scent.

THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE SCENT

In 2018, a team of international researchers completed the successful mapping of an heirloom rose's genome. This was no small feat, as the process took eight years. They now know where the bud's color and scent come from, and how to tweak those traits to yield a more fragrant flower. Researchers specifically identified an enzyme, known as RhNUDX1, which plays a key role in producing the flowers' sweet fragrances. They have found that this enzyme, which acts in the cells located in the flower's petals, generates the fragrant and well-known monoterpene geraniol, the primary part of rose oil.

EXCITING NEW VARIETIES ON THE HORIZON

Breeders are already working diligently to develop hardy and fragrant new varieties of cultivated roses for the cut floral industry. However, developing a new variety takes up to 10 years, so it won't happen quickly. The good news is we have much to look forward to.

What a pleasure and honor to have so many wonderful Brides and to help them see their vision come to life. Thanks Marisa
