Intake Wednesday!

August 7, 2013 in /by

I think my neighbors like me…A LOT…because every Monday I start collecting all the flowers from the previous wedding and start handing out fresh arrangements to them so I can clear our our inventory for Intake Wednesdays! This week we have two weddings back to back … but luckily, not on the same day! Thanks […]

Phew!

Well today was one crazy day! Not only were we delivering to two different weddings…but I’m pretty sure we had a close call with a tornado!! Our first wedding to deliver to was at the Lyon’s Farmette … a cute and quaint farm tucked of the side of the Ute Highway. I’ve driven passed this […]

This weekend we have not 1 but TWO weddings to deliver to!!! I am so glad my husband found the second floral fridge when he did … otherwise, some flowers would be SOL on cooler space!! I’m also super thankful that he helped me intake all those flowers!!! We have LOTS to do this weekend…including […]

When in doubt

July 29, 2013 in /by

Being relatively new to the flower side of the wedding industry, there are some things I’m completely unsure about designing or how to specifically execute a design. So when in doubt…do a trial run! I’d like to think that I’m always up for a challenge…and sometimes I probably take these challenges a bit too far […]

Pleasing a bride

July 20, 2013 in /by

Earlier this year, I had a bride (well, her maid of honor), contact me in a state of panic after her florist bailed on her 1 week before her wedding date … it was an absolutely stressful but pleasant experience. So when I had a bride call me 2 months before her wedding day telling […]

All things blue

May 18, 2013 in /by

Today we delivered for a lovely bride and groom … the delivery was super smooth, but our planning side of us came out and we had to jump into action when we saw some things happening in the back end. I’m guessing normally, florists deliver and leave…but my crew and I just can’t do that […]
