Birthday Month!!!

It's that special time of year again -- BIRTHDAY MONTH!!!

As most of our clients know, July is a HUGE month for us because we celebrate two birthdays in our studio (Althea and Farron) and they are a day apart -- as well as America's birthday on the 4th! In honor of these great days, we have collected some of our current birthday inspirations. Because what better day to receive flowers than your birthday?!

Enjoy and Happy Birthday Month!! :)

Come tiptoe through the tulips with me...

We have a huge love affair for tulips at the studio. They are one of our top favorite flowers during the late months of winter and early spring. Unfortunately, there are many people who believe tulips are only available during spring, however, the best months for tulips are actually January through March. This is when the blooms are at their heartiest and most colorful stages.

Tulips can be found in a wide range of color, texture, and size. And while some tulip varieties are best for garden-use only, most tulips can be used in cut arrangements beautifully. The coolest thing about tulips is that they continue to grow after they've been cut which is great if you are wanting an arrangement that can last a while.

The ruffled tulip, or parrot tulip, is probably the most popular variety of tulip after the Dutch, or standard, tulip. The parrot tulip was made popular by the book New Moon by Stephanie Meyer.

If you are choosing to use tulips for an event, it is important that you talk with your florist about the design you want. While tulips are great for contemporary designs you must keep in mind that these flowers have a little mind of their own and are known for moving towards the light. So, if you are wanting a design that is going to be extremely sleek and with clean lines make sure you tell your florist so they can prepare the tulips to better stay in place.

Because we can't finish a blog without providing you with beautiful images, enjoy our inspirations and remember to always tiptoe through the tulips.

Enjoy!!

Spring is Coming!

In the midst of Valentine's Day, we often forget that another important day falls in the month of February - Groundhog's Day. There are plenty of theories on how correct Punxsutawney Phil's predictions are, but for us his is our favorite! (Of course, we also rely on our flowers, Almanacs, and weather...but it's still fun to play along.) So, did he see his shadow or not? Will this winter be a little longer or are our beautiful days of Spring fast approaching? Drum roll please...

Phil did NOT see his shadow! Spring here we come!!

Of course, we are more than excited to see that Spring will be coming soon. It is probably our favorite time of year because there are some flowers that we can only get in Spring such as: Daffodils, Tulips, Hyacinth, Lily of the Valley, and the list goes on. Depending on the area you are from, you may be able to find these beauties after the average growing season is over, however, since they are all bulb plants it will be more difficult to find them outside of Spring. 

As we patiently (or maybe not so patiently) wait for the first blooms of Daffodils to dot our yards, we plan on filling our days with inspirations for the trends that are coming this Spring. Follow along as we share the trends and our inspirations for Spring with you because for us this time period is like waiting for Christmas morning all over again!!

Enjoy!!

Daffodils can make a beautiful statement in a spring bouquet.

Tulips are the quintessential spring flower. They are beautiful alone or mixed with other blooms.

Hyacinth are a beautiful spring option for someone wanting some different from the norm. They add a great texture when mixed with other blooms.
