Meet Emma! Our newest floral assistant on the team! 🌸🩵

Emma's sweet and sassy personality has brought awesome energy to the studio the last few weeks. ✨
She came to us after knowing Alissa as "coach Alissa" during her high school running career.

With lots of experience being outdoors, taking care of animals, and keeping up with their family blueberry patch, she is going to fit right in with our crazy crew!

☕️ Favorite Coffee Order: Hot oatmilk Chai
☀️Favorite Hobbies: Riding my horse, reading, doing bible studies with friends, going to park point, crocheting, and hiking.
💐Something I'm most excited about for this season: I’m most excited about learning how a flower shop works and everything that goes into it. (Especially weddings) I am also very excited to meet new people and make new connections. I have always loved flowers and this was such a perfect opportunity for me. :)

04/12/2024

Hey hey friends!

Allow me to reintroduce myself! 💁🏼‍♀️

My name is Alissa, and I have the honor of being the Studio Manager/Lead Stylist here at Superior Blooms! I have worked here for just over a year now, and WOW! Has it been a ride! 🤣

Though I pursued a degree in Exercise Science, and loved every second of it, I have always loved flowers. I think it all started because I loved going to visit my grandma Roz at the old Peterson Anderson flower shop downtown Duluth. Ironically, that shop was next door to where our studio now calls home. 🩵

Though I have pursued some amazing coaching jobs, and continue to work with kids after work, I guess my heart is a little bit multi-passionate!

From picking up various tidbits from her as a kiddo, to learning bouquet basics in her dining room as I designed a friend's wedding blooms a few summers ago, somehow it all lead me to working next door to the flower shop I loved to visit. 🌸

I couldn't be more blessed to get the opportunity to serve our beautiful, wonderful clients! Thanks for following along with our crazy Bloom Squad Crew! ✨🩵

A few random facts about me...

☕️Coffee Order: Iced Chai with Oatmilk

☀️Spare Time Hobbies: absorbing sunshine, agate hunting by the lake, writing, diving deeper into my faith, coaching, playing hockey, running, golfing

💐Favorite Bouquet Style: Full Garden Bouquets! Lot's of texture and Movement 😍

"Why do wedding flowers cost so much?" Part 2! 💐

Talking about cost is such a "forbidden topic" in our industry. But we are going there 👀

Sticker shock is real when you embark on planning a wedding or special event!!

The truth is, there isn't a single "cover all" reason why flowers are costly. Each floral team does it differently But here is another reason behind our cost::

Preparation takes time. ✨
And timing is everything!

As wedding and event designers, we specialize in this process down to a science to ensure efficiency and quality! 🤓

🌹We clean every bucket each week to make sure there's no mold or bacteria that will kill the flowers. We prepare the ribbons and the bracelets and the pins in advance. We clean and inspect the vases, the cooler, and the sinks. We prepare the boxes for transport.
🌹We have to order flowers at specific times in advance to ensure the most beautiful blooms, and trouble shoot if any aren't available.
🌹Every individual stem that comes in needs to be inspected, prepped, cut, and set in water for a good drink. Certain flowers need more time to hydrate than others, other flowers need time to open to their most full state.
🌹We have to design the bouquets, boutonniere's, and corsages at a specific cadence so that they look best for wedding day. We don't want them sitting for days on days to potentially lose their luster!
🌹Each piece we make for your wedding takes focus and time out of the schedule to bring the vision to reality: we aren't machines, we keep tabs on the details.

All in all, this is a slow, meticulous, yet specific and efficient process to make the floral magic happen! ✨

Double tap and we will do a part 3️⃣!

"Why do wedding flowers cost so much?" 💐

Talking about cost is such a "forbidden topic" in our industry. But today we are going to go there 👀

Sticker shock is real when you embark on planning a wedding or special event!!

The truth is, there isn't a single "cover all" reason why flowers are costly. Each floral team does it differently.

One factor behind the pricing includes stem selection.

Point blank... We choose specific stems! 🌹

The truth is, as ✨specialized✨ wedding and event designers...

🌸We try to use more premium or specialized stems for your bouquets, rather than the traditional shop stems. These typically come in various seasons, have different shades and tones, or are more fresh because they aren't bought in giant bulk orders.

🌸We have to pick every stem to create the vision: Sure, we order the stems in and plan for a "recipe", but beyond all of the prep, there is an element of artistry and skill behind the bouquets, boutonnières, centerpieces, and installations... the details need to be carefully selected and positioned as you go. Each stem is intimately important to the overall vision, quality, and longevity.

🌸We partner and shop local farms/growers to get the best quality blooms we can. This way, we can hand select the flowers, choose the perfect shades, and add the "wow" factor with hard to find fillers and bloom varieties. 😍

PSA: Photos of flowers can be really misleading.Flowers themselves can seem to change colors based on their background, colors next to them, and lighting. Even the time of year that they are harvested can cause them to vary a little (they are organic materials after all).

That said, when searching for floral inspo on pinterest or social media, remember that most photographers edit, and most social media posts are filtered, which can create a false expectation of what the colors really are in any given bouquet.

Swipe to see two different photography styles and a good old iPhone photo of the same flowers!

(Shout out to all photographers, as they all capture such beautiful things in so many unique ways!)

DREAMING BIGIf you are reading this, this is your sign to get that large floral install you've been inspired by!

Big statement pieces are some of the most special (and fun) ways to create magic on your big day. And, these pieces aren't just for ceremony use; they make a great backdrop for your head table or a photo op or your guests at the reception.

Bouquet ContentOn the topic of bouquets, content is a big topic of discussion in our initial consults. The time of year, the color palette, and the textures of the venue and dress all have a large pull in this decisions.

Things to consider when looking at your inspo photos:

Do I like big blooms? Small Blooms? A mixture?
Do I like this (these) flower(s) for the color? The shape? Just because?
What other flowers go with these shapes/colors?
Do I like lots of variety (texture, dimension) in my bouquet? Do I like a consistent look?
Do I like eucalyptus (dusty) greens or true greens? A Mix? No Greenery?
What time of year is my wedding? Will my venue have other colors or textures I need to think about when pulling it all together? (think centerpieces, arch pieces, etc)
Does my dress have a lot of detail? Is it simple and elegant? Do I want my bouquet to accent the detailing of my dress or be the eye-catching accent piece?

Merry Holidays from your favorite florists! Xoxo,

"Alissa how the heck do you pick the florals for your bouquet?!"I love this question!!

First and foremost, focus on the time of year. Knowing which blooms are available and which are harder/more expensive to get in your wedding month is important.

"How are you supposed to know all of that?"

You don't!

That's where our design team comes in! We sit down with you to chat about your likes, dislikes, and overall vision, and then carefully curate a bouquet to match. We are filled with good alternatives to flowers that may be "out of season" or less full for your big day!

12/21/2023

Let's talk about size......of bouquets and why it matters.

First and foremost the bridal bouquet is the statement piece though it should still fit your vision. Bridal bouquets are carefully curated to be able to accent the beautiful person and dress.

Bridesmaid bouquets are usually a smaller version of the bridal bouquet however it is always fun to incorporate more or less colors and textures.

Last employee intro of round 1::

Hi, my name is Alissa! I am the “new” manager and the voice of our social media page!

I got the opportunity to become the studio manager in January of 2023. Growing up, I have a lot of fond memories of spending time at a flower shop with my Grandma, who worked as a lead designer for many years (ironically, that shop was next door to where we work now, which feels so special to me)! 💐 After getting my degree in exercise physiology (and not quite being able to choose just one route to take with it ), I decided to take my fond memories to work and try it out — first free lancing some weddings under my grandma’s instruction, then working at a traditional shop, and now here at Superior Blooms! 😍

If I had to describe myself in a few words, I would say faithful, sassy, caring, indecisive, and a little A.D.D 😉… I enjoy being able to build and teach the team, learn new things alongside them, and bring joy to our customers during their big celebrations in life... as well as workday karaoke and dance parties. 😊Creating a hard working, fun, and joyful work environment has been my number one goal! 😇

When I am not working (lol), I take any opportunity to see my people that I can. You can also find me on the football field or track coaching kiddos, or skating at a hockey rink. From time to time, I find myself spending some miles out on the road like a crazy person🏃🏼‍♀️, but I also loving watching the Vikings, Wild, or One Tree Hill. Overall, however, I am terrible at sitting still!

A few of my Favorites:

Color: Purple💜, Carolina/Lake Superior Blue💙, Yellow💛
Flower: Quicksand Roses, Coral/Peach Ranunculus, White Waxflower, Peonies🌻
Style of Bouquet: Garden-Style bouquets with lots of texture/movement/dimension💐
Quote to Live By: Philippians 4:8-9 is my go-to, but also “To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift” -Steve Prefontaine 🙏🏼
Lunch Spot: Sir Ben’s or Chick Fil A 😋
One Thing you Can’t Live Without: Jesus, Sunshine, Flowers (duh), Fam/Friends, and doggos 🥰

Employee Intros

Next up on the Team…

Meet Molly 👸🏼
(an American Girl (where are my 90’s babes at??))

Molly is our assistant studio manager; helping keep our team organized and sane. She comes from a background in Human Resources and a lifetime of loving all things colorful, crafty, and sparkly. ✨Molly isn’t afraid to try something new, ask questions, or get her hands dirty in the process of the job...
And also never backs down from belting out throwback tunes or the opportunity for a dance off💃🏼🪩.

Molly describes herself as bubbly, clumsy, optimistic, goofy, and also indecisive… and claims to live by the quote “Reflect before you snack…ACT” -Mulan (so you can only imagine the goofy things she comes up with🤭).

All of these characteristics are the perfect traits for our crazy team. She makes the days fly by and we get a good ab workout with how much we laugh with (at) each other. It's never a dull moment around here. 🤣

When Molly isn’t at work, she had her fiancé Hayden are wedding planning (they are tying the knot this fall — WEE!👰🏼‍♀️🤵🏼). She also loves the beach, hiking, taking time to be with friends and family, or watching Disney movies & chick flicks (obviously).

A few of Molly’s Favorites:

Color: Yellow💛
Flower: Freesia & Lily of the Valley (for the smell), Coral Peony (to design with)🌺
Style of Bouquet: Bright, Colorful, Flouncy (flouncy), Garden-y 😍
Theme Song: Ice Ice Baby by Vanilla Ice OR I’ll Make A Man Out of You from the Mulan Soundtrack 🎶
One Thing you Can’t Live Without: Pizza 🍕

We are so grateful for Molly! Let's show her some love!

08/03/2023

Since we are continuing to create a brand new team here at Superior Blooms, and I haven't introduced our current designers yet, I guess it's about time we start (considering it's mid-season... fail...)

First up, Miss Nina! 🌷

Nina came to us in May, as she is home for summer break! She is about to begin her senior year at Cedarville University in Ohio, majoring in Studio Art, and we will miss her dearly during the school year. 🥲

Nina describes herself as practical, imaginative, and a thinker, which probably explains why she gives us funny looks when we act a bit too crazy around here. She brings a calm, quiet, and graceful presence to our chaos crew. Not only has she been growing in her floral design, she has also brought her artistic expertise to other parts of our shop (stay tuned 😏)

She can often be found singing to anything and everything (like a freakin’ angel, might I add😍), sipping on hot americanos and fancy coffee brews (straight, no cream please!), and (of course) “doing any art medium imaginable”!

A few of Nina’s Favorites:

Color: Mustard Yellow/Ochre 💛
Flower: Anemone (Icelandic Poppies are a close 2nd!)
Style of Bouquet: Organic and Wildflower-y 💐
Theme Song: By Our Love by For King and Country
One Thing You Can’t Live Without: Winter/Snow (she may be crazy after all) ❄️

Please help us welcome Nina and also wish her well as she starts her final year of college! 🥰

08/01/2023

Big News!!! WE ARE HIRING! 😍
