Flower Gals Co. delights Dallas with flower truck
Tuesday, October 16, 2018A man approaches the truck and admires the colorful display.“Whose idea was it?” he asks after complimenting the truck.Miriam explains she was inspired by a flower truck operating in Tennessee.“Amelia’s Flower Truck. She’s got three trucks,” Miriam specifies. “I wish it were my own original idea.”Noticing there wasn’t a flower truck in Dallas, Miriam asked Taylor if she wanted to start operating a flower truck in Dallas.Miriam isn’t sure what compelled her to think starting a flower truck was a feasible avenue for business. After all, who would look at a mobile flower truck, the logistics for which are undoubtedly a challenge, and think they could do it too?“Insanity I guess,” Miriam jokes. “Because I was literally sitting there, having a coffee, flipping through a magazine.”Miriam and Taylor were already working together. They had a business of remodeling homes.“I don’t really like to say we flipped them, because they took a long time,” Miriam says. “So they weren’t really flipped. They were more like painful extractions.”Somehow, flowers are a good fit for Miriam and Taylor.“We’ve been hopping from thing to thing and then somehow landed on flowers,” Taylor says. “Because I was doing fashion before this. I was doing styling. And then we started getting into interiors. And now we’re doing flowers. And this has weirdly been the best fit thus far.”“And by far the most fun,” Miram adds.So much of starting a business relies on good timing and coordination.“We found the truck at the same time we were flying to LA to do some training with a flower specialist out there. And she was going to do a full day of private training. We found the truck, went and test drove it. And that all happened in one 38 hour trip to LA,” Miriam says.“Yeah, and it’s all kind of been strangely organic,” Taylor remarks.Starting Flower Gals was an unexpectedly smooth process, which Taylor and Miriam know from prior experience isn’t always the case with starting businesses. Taylor says they’d been ve... https://www.smudailycampus.com/ae/flower-gals-co-delights-dallas-with-flower-truck

Floral design shop opens in downtown Vallejo
Tuesday, August 28, 2018I’m going to call it Nikkibana because there is a little piece of me that goes out with every design.’ Six years after that, I started my business.”Nikkibana spent three years on Tennessee Street in Vallejo before an appropriate location became available downtown, she said. She opened at 409 Virginian St. in the middle of July.When asked what it was about working with flowers that she likes best, Pelayo jokingly said, “they don’t talk back,” before getting serious.“I work with people, helping them express themselves; this is what I do,” she said. “Plus, I get to make things pretty all day, and who wouldn’t’ want to do that?”Each Nikkibana floral design is custom; based on as much relevant information Pelayo is able to ascertain to help her create the perfect arraignment for the occasion or the person, she said. Advertisement“First, I find out what it’s for — a birthday; or an ‘I said the wrong thing,’” — and then she asks a few other relevant questions, “and, I create something.”Longtime Vallejo resident and civic activist Paula McConnell, wife of lawyer and City Councilman Robert McConnell, said she’s pleased to see this new business in town.“Before Mare Island closed there were at least eight flower shops in Vallejo,” she said. “That number gradually decreased to one. It is wonderful to know that there is a new flower shop in town. And it is particularly nice to learn that it will be in historic downtown. It is a great time since our population is gradually increasing again. I am delighted, and look forward to meeting the owner soon.”James Cooper of the Vallejo Chamber of Commerce is also pleased, he said.“The Vallejo Chamber of Commerce is excited for Nikkibana Floral Design to open on Virginia Street!,” he said. “Small business is the lifeblood of communities throughout America and especially here in Vallejo. When an entrepreneur decides to pursue their dream we should all applaud their effort. Every new small business adds to our community’s character and offers consumers another reason to stop and shop in Vallejo. The Chamber looks forward to watching Nikkibana Floral Design grow and flourish.”Nikkibana adds a local flower shop choice, in a city that has seen the number of such businesses dwindle from more than a half dozen a decade ago, to two or three now, including Nikkibana. Besides the recession, the advent of the “order gatherer” flower delivery concept like 1-800-flowers, killed many a local florist, some experts say. “I won’t say that, but it’s about walk-ability and getting to know your new business. That’s how flower shops survive,” she said. “It’s better for florists to be independent.”N... http://www.timesheraldonline.com/article/NH/20180808/NEWS/180809864
