Castle Rock florist to design 'Parasite' Oscars party - The Columbian

This is our ballgame now,” Vorse said of Pollen, the Castle Rock florist shop he opened July 2017. “I’ve worked with a lot of very large event production companies, but this is all Pollen. That’s the difference.”Event design and production company Gina Wade Creative met Saturday to decide who would design the party, Vorse said. None of the designers in L.A. fit their vision, and the company knew Vorse from working together on several past projects.“They got out of their meeting last Saturday and immediately they said, ‘We have to fly Pollen in,’ which is pretty neat,” Vorse said. “It was more than flattering, to say the least.”He declined to discuss how much he’ll earn or what the design costs.Vorse started his “creative process” almost immediately by watching “Parasite” for inspiration. Set in Korea, the dark comedy thriller follows one rich family and one poor family as their lives get unusually entangled.Pollen’s Oscar party design “pulls different moments” and “works off what the environment within the film looked like,” Vorse said. For example, all of the containers used in the design will be concrete, he said. He will fill the structures with “dark and sultry” colored flowers such as Japanese sweet peas.“It will all be very industrial, and the florals will be lush and romantic, but deep, dark, moody colors,” Vorse said.The Oscars party will feature suspended pieces and more avant garde decor than the weddings he’s designed in Cowlitz County, he said. But “pieces of Pollen” will shine through.“All that lushness and all the beautiful blossoms … the way we construct things here will be part of it. We will just add the extra flair once we get there.”Vorse will buy most of his flowers and design product once he’s in California, he said. But he also plans to take “a little piece of Washington with us,” because locally grown flowers are “just the best,” he said. Plus, some of those species aren’t readily available in Los Angeles. The Columbian is becoming a rare example of a news organization with local, family... https://www.columbian.com/news/2020/feb/05/castle-rock-florist-to-design-parasite-oscars-party/

Santa Rosa's Grohe Florists closing after a heritage that goes back more than 100 years - Santa Rosa Press Democrat

With roots going back more than 100 years, Santa Rosa’s Grohe Florists will close Wednesday as the owners retire from a business that’s helped generations of local residents spread good cheer, celebrate romance and comfort the sick or grieving.Brent and Loralie Wilson, who bought the store at 1313 McDonald Ave. in 1988, witnessed significant changes over the decades, from the advent of national brokers such as 1-800-Flowers to the influx of grocery stores encroaching heavily into the business. They also managed trends through the years with the ever-popular roses and dahlias and the more waning carnations and chrysanthemums.Still, the couple had a healthy clientele and the business was profitable. It won the Best of Sonoma County award sponsored by The Press Democrat seven out of the past eight years.“There are still loyal customers and they like to go to florists,” said Brent Wilson, 76. “For those who are getting a real customized, on-site attention for centerpieces and that sort of thing ... It’s just a more personal touch.”The couple decided... https://www.pressdemocrat.com/business/10357375-181/santa-rosa-florist-closing-after

After 73 years, this could be Stagemeyer Flower Shop's last Valentine's Day rush - York Daily Record

Guess that's why they call it dragon teeth," she said.  Hinson has been a florist for nearly 50 years — a fitting occupation considering her maiden name was Rose. She began her career in high school at Doyle's Flower Shop in Bedford. It was around the same time she met her husband, Dan. "We were high school sweethearts, and it went from there," she said.  In 1976, the pair left their hometown and made haste toward York. "My brother was living in York at the time, and he convinced me there were a few more opportunities for work out here," Dan said.  Karen got a florist job at Stagemyer Flower Shop in December of that year. Dan picked up work at Miller's Auto Supply in West York. In June of 1977, they purchased the business from Charlotte and Claire Stough. Charlotte's father opened the flower shop in the first floor of their row home in 1947.  "I had no idea what I was getting into," Dan said.  At any given moment, Stagemyers has about 75 varieties of flora. Simple bouquets such as a dozen cuenca roses may take Karen about five minutes to design. Larger, more intricate arrangements could take upwards of 25 minutes. "It's a physical job, and it is a lost art, but it is an art," Karen said.  Come Valentine's Day, the store wi... https://www.ydr.com/story/news/local/2020/02/06/stagemyers-flower-shop-york-could-final-valentines-rush/4655589002/
