Why would a weddings and event florist be showing wreaths? We have many talents. It’s our side hustle. What’s yours?

Bouquets should accent the bride, not steal the show. Unless the it’s just a picture of the bouquet….across from engagement rings. Then, maybe it can steal the show!

Set of bouquets for a Fall wedding. We can’t wait to see these in use! These are silk bouquets. There are plans to repurpose the flowers in the bridesmaids bouquets to something for the couple’s home. And that is one of the many benefits of silk!

I bought these last week. They are called Iris Pallida Variegata….Variegated sweet iris. I had no idea what color they were when I bought them. Looking them up, I think they will have a lavender bloom. The variegated leaves got my attention though. Thought I’d share!

https://wix.to/C3QSAnI

What does Nurses Week have to do with the floral industry? Well, in Mechanicsville or Richmond, Virginia, not much of anything unless you want to send a nurse flowers. Can you send a nurse who works in the hospital flowers? Most of the time, the answer is yes. Some hospital units are secured so they...

When we went to the floral consultation, I had a great deal of sticker shock. The florist was here in Richmond, VA. We....

What is this? This is a cemetery vase foam insert. You would be surprised by how many flowers will fit in this if you have the right kind. For this, you need silks that have wire stems. The single stems that are thicker are not meant for this kind of foam. You will also find that it is incredibly difficult to get a thicker stem into the foam, and the flower on that foam is often so heavy that when you move the foam, the flower will work itself a bigger hole in the foam. So if you need to make a cemetery arrangement, pick the silks with the wire stems. This will also cost less for you!

Which is silk? Which flower is real? Are they all fresh floral or all silk? Hmmm 🤔 Well, if you can’t tell, we won’t either! If you want to pay as much for flowers as a car, go with the fresh floral. If you need something to have more value and last for longer than a week, consider silk floral! Why not rent your flowers from us?!
