 My amazing Mom!! (first mother's day in the shop)

Two years ago our family began a journey that would make us laugh and cry and take us through more than we ever imagined. It has brought the most amazing people into our lives and we are so thankful for this time. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone that has walked with us and thank you to all of our wonderful new friends! A little flash back to our first days...we weren't sure how we were going to make it through the chaos, but by mother's day we were a well-oiled machine! Ha! We are really looking forward to providing amazing flowers for you this mother's day...our 3rd...we're pros!!

 

Prom is just around the corner. Our mission this year is to provide you with flowers that express your personality! Babies breath and plain ole' elastic bands are out! We have some awesome sequin bracelets, irredescent bead bracelets, and to add a little bling-the rhinestone bracelet. We are also offering orchid bracelets with keepsake beads woven in.

Come check out our "Corsage Bar"-You pick the bracelet, flowers, ribbon, and any other add on!

The gentlemen will not be left out either. We have some awesome magnetic boutonnieres and you can add a little color with some irredescent leaves and rhinestone sprays!

We will be offering roses and orchids in many colors. We promise your wristlet or boutonniere will be customized to fit your personality!

I woke up this morning to beautiful Colorado snow. This is the second time it's snowed here this year, but this is the first time it has stuck. Snow this early in the season is a nightmare for a florist because we have to wrap all the flowers if it is below 35 degrees so they don't freeze. The Falcon/Peyton area is extra difficult because of the wind! Hopefully it will warm up a bit so I can enjoy the fall colors just a little more. My red maple tree was really pretty with the snow on it this morning. Keep warm today!

For a long time I have been irritated with wire-services because they are a dis-service to the customer and the local florist.

A few reasons you should use a local florist instead of a wire-service:
        
        Value-there is no middle man charge. You will receive an arrangement for the money in which you paid.
        
        Quality/Creativity-the florist can tell you what they have in their cooler. What is the most beautiful and fresh, and make you a one-of-a-kind arrangement.
       
        Expertise-the local florist is a trained professional. They have vast knowledge in their product...it's not just someone taking an order. This is their passion. They want to WOW your special person!
       
        Guarantee-You don't have to jump through hoops when there is a concern-you call them directly and they handle it immediately.

Some may argue that wire-services are more convenient, which in some cases they are. As for my shop, I have a shopping cart available 24 hours a day on my website.

The best value for your money is alwyas going to be calling a local florist in the area you are sending flowers to. It is always best to ask where the florist is located when calling because there are imposters. Wesley Berry Florist is an example. They advertise themselves as a local florist in many cities, take the order, and then send that order to a REAL local florist.  I believe this practice is unethical and deceiving. When I asked FTD and Teleflora about it, because their logos were on this florist's site, they said there was nothing they could do. Of course NOT- they get money from every order as well! Leaving the Customer and the Florist short-changed!

Thank you for supporting your local florist and Beautiful Expressions!
