Summer Bounty

Summer Bounty

 I sometimes am asked "are my favorite flowers available?"  Just as in the words of a song--"it's 5 o'clock somewhere..."  yes--your favorite flowers are available.  Fortunately we have sources from all over the world where flowers that may not be in season locally, are in season!  And with all our shipping options, we are able to get them in quickly.  These favorite varieties are from California.  Montbretia, purple coneflower, pin-cushion proteas, purple butterfly bush, and blushing bride.  Ask about your favorites--we are always happy to bring in special varieties.

What's Trending

The seasons of the year influence what is available and what is trending.  In spring we have bulb gardens with exposed roots in glass, or vases of blooming branches.  In summer we enjoy all the variety of flowers that grow in gardens--sunflowers, coneflowers, zinnia, cottage yarrow, accented with Dusty Miller, hosta leaves and ornamental grasses.  Check out Pinterest boards and you will see garden-style bouquets in the ever-popular Mason jars--especially nice if you can find the old ones at thrift stores and in auctions.  The shabby-chic look of combining burlap and lace has made its appearance even in the most elegant weddings. 

 

Succulents have been in the spotlight for the past year and are trending very strongly this summer.  They are available in so many interesting sizes and shapes, require so little care, and are used to accent bouquets in both sympathy and wedding and event work.
