Dear friends, a very special chapter is coming to a close.

July 13th, 2024 will be Locaflora's last day open for retail business. It's been an honor to grow with this business, to meet and know each of you because of it, and to help bring the beauty of local flowers to some of your most treasured moments. That privilege is not lost on us, and we are grateful to each of you for supporting it from the beginning.

I am grateful to make this decision on a positive note - that it has done well, and this closure will make way for more opportunities in my own life. But it is bittersweet, and we will sorely miss getting to design floral arrangements, chat about plants, meet your pups...celebrate things....grieve loss...and just provide a little space to find comfort, joy, and reflection through it all.

Please stop by! We would LOVE to see you, and are happy to make you one last Locaflora creation over these next few weeks. I ask that you be generous and kind to our staff, especially through 7/13.

Placing a pre-order at https://locafloradesign.com will give us the best opportunity to serve up the best blooms our local growers have to offer, and be intentional about the design. I encourage and welcome fun design prompts, color concepts, occasions, and the use of any outstanding gift cards you may have ;)

Lastly, I am seeking someone with an interest in using this space for a similar business. If you are interested, please get in touch here or by email to [email protected].

I waited a whole week to take this picture!

It's Tuesday, Babes. And we are ready for a wild week at Locaflora, making weddings and special event flowers for some lovely people. 💞

Next week, we'll be doing some fun, creative arrangements that follow any prompt you give us for colors, emotions, occasions, places...anything! So keep your eyes peeled for a little announcement!

As we've grown over the last 4 years, your feedback and love has been everything from the silver lining to the icing on the cake. 💓

Reminiscing on this bouquet, these sweet people, and the trust they had for our creative process. It was such an honor to create this garden inspired bouquet with all the burnt orange and umber that Spring has to offer. And I just can't even with the cutest smiles of and Dylan.

So excited to be back at with this summer! We're going to create some garden party magic for E & K.

7 years ago at this time...

I was at my dining room table, frantically showing my bridesmaids how to make a flower crown. Two hours later, I'd be building my bouquet out of foraged goods from , .
At that same moment, Ben (then - violin boy) was sending sheet music to his friend to play the next morning (assuming it wouldn't rain), and we were both realizing we didn't have any music picked out for any of the things.
Thankfully, our rings arrived with overnight shipping from Amazon...

Anyone who was part of the next 24 hours knows that we were a complete mess. 😂 I think we've reigned it in a little over the past few years, and there's still no one else I'd rather be adventuring or growing next to.

What a sweet, fun, sad, exciting, challenging, and all things these last 7 years have been. And I love him the most. 💖

Thank you Gettysburg 🫶 (and New Oxford, Fairfield, Biglerville, Littlestown, and Harrisburg)!!

What immense gratitude we have for you and your love of our flowers. They are hard earned - and they are filled with the care and power of so many incredible humans. So we are exceptionally grateful that you choose them and us. 💞

And happy day to all the moms and all those with experience that makes this day impactful and meaningful.

The little details that notices always get me. This was one of my favorites from her "behind the scenes" documenting of our prep.

We loved this femme industrial vibe reception at for K&A. It had all the sweet details, pulled together by an amazing team!

If you're looking for an understated vibe on guest tables, I will always recommend bud vases and candles, paired with larger arrangements in high impact/high traffic areas.

These larger artistic pieces create cohesion, set the tone for the evening, and ensure the rest of the little details don't get lost on the blank slate of your venue.

Want to know the secret to our stunning floral designs?..
There are two big reasons they just look so ✨magical✨ than 1-800 flowers:

1) We practice floral ART. We curated a color palette, we build design skills, and then we bring it all together with ❤️human ❤️ attention to the little details that make all the difference.

2) We source the most precious, local blooms that our region has to offer, and we communicate with our growers clearly about the quality, freshness, and harvest stages we need to make sure you get the best. We develop these partnerships in ways that ensure we can support our growers as much as they support us.

So you should know...

The finishing touches to our Mother's Day sourcing are happening this week. We've coordinated a stunning assortment of the highest quality, blooms - and you can thank your local farmer for making that happen despite this major, rager of a heat spike! 🥵

Expect all the good stuff, the fanciest varieties of tulips, peonies, ranunculus, butterfly ranunculus, and more.

And order by Wednesday to lock in your Early Bird Discounts!

Behind the scenes, we are...
- Prepping vessels
- Organizing the Studio
- Updating our flower sourcing and coordinating with growers
- Lining up delivery, packaging, and all the major logistics for the weekend
- Finalizing partnerships and
- Streamlining our order management software
& Making room to design at our best for you and your loved ones!

It's time for a little review on our Deliveries...

The Basics:

🚗 We deliver to any 17325 address for $5.99
📞 For addresses up to 15 miles from the shop, give us a call and we'll do our best to help out!
⏰ Deliveries are best scheduled early. The cut-off for next day delivery without any additional fee is 5pm. If you'd like to place a same-day delivery, we recommend calling the shop!

More Details:

- When our fabulous driver (Corey) arrives, he'll ring the doorbell and/or knock on the door. But if no one is home to receive the flowers - they will be left in a spot where the recipient can notice them.
- Flowers in vases are delivered without any additional packaging. Wrapped bouquets have compostable bags on the ends of the stems, but should not be left for more than 1 hour.
- We highly recommend sending all deliveries to Gettysburg College Students to the College Post Office, located inside the College Union Building (CUB). This ensures that the flowers are kept in a climate controlled environment and that students will be appropriately notified of their delivery.
- If you would like to receive a photo of the flowers that will be delivered on your behalf, just make a note of it in your order. We are happy to send these kinds of updates upon request. :)

What questions do you have about our delivery systems? 😀

About LOCAFLORA

My love story with flowers began over eleven years ago when a generous farmer offered me a job. Her name was Natalie, and she needed some help around the small pick-your-own berry farm that she and her husband Craig started years before. Within a few years of working around the farm, I helped their daughter add flower beds, and we embarked on the exciting adventure of growing and caring for flowers, daily.

From seed catalog to bouquet, I watched and learned—the growth of my confidence in the persevering work of farmers rivaled that of the flowers. I discovered that people didn’t come to farm just to buy flowers and berries. They came for Natalie, Craig, and even me. By handing them a bouquet of flowers that I had watched over, clipped, and arranged, I had both connected with those people and gained their trust.

Today, I don’t work at a farm anymore: I’m a chemist, an artist, a wife, and a member of a lovely community. But I am still fully convinced in the power of farm-to-table flowers. I am so confident that farm fresh flowers improve lives and bring people together that I want the whole of Gettysburg to have them, and to experience the trust and friendship—the common ground—that can be gained over the sight of a beautiful sunflower.

That’s why I started LOCAFLORA—and I’m so excited to share it with you.
