Shopping for holiday decor at the L.A. flower mart - Los Angeles Times

And don’t expect fake trees or snow flocking on branches at any of their events for Malibu plant-based skin care brand Osea or swanky fashion and jewelry boutique Capitol + Irene Neuwirth in Brentwood or in their arrangements at the Tasting Kitchen in Venice.Instead, they’re known for a rustic sensibility that can be seen in their custom gift boxes and hundreds of premade bouquets they sell at all Erewhon stores. Their inspiration this holiday is “Winter Forest.” So look for eucalyptus pods, winterberries, magnolia leaves, lichen-covered branches, blue ice cypress and hemlock to remind you that decorating with nature really is about what grows outside. “The whole point is to bring wilderness into your home,” says Juhos. “We believe in more of a winter vibe for the holidays.” And they’re certain the rest of us can pull this off too. Or at least try. Holiday orchids at the Los Angeles Flower Market.(Al Seib / Los Angeles Times) We got up early and went wild retail harvesting with the pair at the Southern California Flower Market and Original Los Angeles Flower Market to see exactly how Juhos and Renna envision a winter forest, without going near a single silver spray-painted branch.

A Perfumer’s Fragrant Flower Salad - The New York Times

The florist business his parents ran — the Woods, which catered to celebrities and the Four Seasons Hotel — was across the street from Mezzaluna, the Brentwood trattoria that vaulted to notoriety during the O. J. Simpson trial. The family had an account at the restaurant, so it became the place where young Ezra developed his palate. Now 35 and the co-founder of the boutique fragrance brand Régime des Fleurs, Woods has found two new ways to combine his obsessions: He makes edible scents and he cooks with edible flowers. “I love nothing more than flowers,” he says. “There’s something magical about being able to eat something so beautiful.”[Coming soon: the T List newsletter, a weekly roundup of what T Magazine editors are noticing and coveting.

While the flavor is generally mild, the visual impact is anything but.CreditJulia StotzTo be clear, most of his fragrances — ones that conjure up palo santo and musk — are not meant to be digested. But his latest scent, Citri, a “citrus mélange,” available starting June 5, is the brand’s second edible product and a companion to the Los Angeles chef Lori Stern’s new cookbook of the same name. “You spray it on food or drink as a kind of finisher,” Woods says. “It’s very aromatic, o... https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/05/t-magazine/ezra-woods-flower-salad.html

Coronavirus foils wedding plans — for Bay Area workers - Vallejo Times-Herald

Artisans, professionals and hourly workers in California’s booming wedding industry are scrambling as nuptials are postponed or canceled, said Richard Markel, president of the Association for Wedding Professionals International. About a quarter-million couples tie the knot in California each year, spending an average of about $25,000 on a ceremony — although the Bay Area and Wine Country are more expensive, he said.Planners are concerned the statewide shelter-in-place will stretch into their busy season, which usually begins in June, he said. “It’s going to get a little hairier.”Eileen Lacey, owner of E Events in Santa Cruz, now has clients postponing June ceremonies. She’s resisted layoffs for her three employees, who help manage weddings from Carmel to Wine Country and beyond for national and international clients.Lacey has spent weeks rescheduling events. She’s not charging for the complicated work. “I’m just doing it,” she said. “Everyone’s trying to do what they can.”Carlie Statsky, a Santa Cruz-based photographer, typically shoots about 20 weddings a year. It’s been a steady business for two decades — until now. Her March was canceled, her April events postponed, and now May is starting to look iffy, she said.Statsky has changed focus. She’s directing customers to her print shop on Etsy, and emailing past clients about ordering wedding albums and new prints of their nuptials.Statsky spotted another opportunity in the work-from-home customers. She’s invited people to send in photos of their rooms, and she’s suggested new prints from her collection of Big Sur and nature photos. “People are using this time to redecorate,” she said.Caterers have tried to shift into home delivery and pick-up services, but layoffs are widespread.Berkeley-based caterer Mixing Bowl has laid-off staff as events have been canceled or postponed, said vice president of marketing Maria Kuzmina. The company is trying to switch its business to sell directly to customers, but it needs more delivery drivers and customer service representatives. “We’re trying to create a whole new platform,” she said. “It’s tricky.”The company has reached out to hospitals and health care facilities, offering to bring lunches and dinners at cost to first responders, she said. But healthcare workers are busy caring for virus victims.Liza Bagerman, a San Francisco event planner with her own business, Studio DBI, has been rescheduling weddings for more than a month. She thought she had prepared for the worst-case scenario, but not “a world-wide pandemic.”She wakes up every morning, she says, thinking about ways to generate income. Bagerman knows she’s not alone. “I think the events world is going to be forever changed,” she said. “The answer is still a question mark.”In Palo Alto, the bouquets have been selling briskly, Minerva said. She hopes her temporary change in business plan gets her through the crisis.After all, she’s filled the yard with flowers, and the irises, pansies and roses bloom next. https://www.timesheraldonline.com/2020/04/03/coronavirus-foils-wedding-plans-for-workers

Calif. flower shop with no connection to Capitol riot flooded with threats, negative reviews - SFGate

Thursday afternoon. “One of our employees recently picked up the phone, and the person on the other line said, ‘Are you the bitch who stormed the Capitol?’ And she just said, ‘No, ma’am, we’re in California.’ And the person hung up on her. There’s no apology, no nothing.” At first, Alberti tried to delete the growing number of comments, which he found downright disturbing. “People have written things like, ‘I hope you get cancer,’ ‘I hope your shop burns down,’ ‘I hope you die,’ ‘I hope you rot in jail,’” he said. “And those are the polite ones.” Contrarily, Alberti added that the shop even received a love letter intended for Cudd from a firefighter living in Florida. “To be honest, they both concern me,” he said. In response to the harassment, Alberti notified the Roseville Police Department, which has been periodically sending out officers to check in on the shop. He also contacted Yelp, which he said acted quickly to remove the misguided comments, as well as Google, though he’s still awaiting a response. of this store since 1973.We are getting hate messages and bad reviews as a result. To our customers, please know that we were not part of that. Thank you for your continued trust and please ignore the hate reviews that are not meant for us.— Becky's Flowers (@BeckysFlowersCA) January 8, 2021 “It was just crickets,” he said. “Which was frustrating, because somehow all of (Cudd’s) negative reviews were removed from her page and likely identified as a targeted attack, and we’re the ones dealing with the repercussions.” (At the time this article was published, most of the negative Google reviews for Alberti’s business appeared to have been removed from the platform. However, Cudd’s business also has a 4.6 rating.) Two other florists bearing the same name in Kentucky and Scotland were burdened with similar harassment. Alberti said all of them have given up on deleting the comments, and are instead attempting to respond to each one in order to set the record straight. “I offered to send some people maps of the United States,” joked Alberti. “Most people apologize and then they reverse, but some are steadfast. My thing is, I understand the need to vent and get rid of that hostility, but just spend an extra five seconds of time to see t... https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Beckys-Flowers-Roseville-mistaken-Capitol-rioter-15871654.php

Import ban to affect shipments to Hawaii florists - Honolulu Advertiser

HONOLULU ? Seeking to prevent introduction of a fungus that would threaten Hawaii's native ohia forests, the state Board of Agriculture has banned plant products from California, Florida and South America that could be disease hosts.The prohibition will primarily affect shipments to Hawaii florists, who rely on imported flowers and greenery in bouquets and floral displays.At Kihei-Wailea Flowers by Cora, Manager Thelma Garso said about 40 percent of their products used in displays may be affected by the ban.At the smaller A Special Touch shop in Lahaina, florist Leann Lum said she hoped she can purchase more of what she needs from local growers."I think local is always better anyway. It's always fresher," she told The Maui News.The order approved at a board meeting on Aug. 28 takes effect Friday on shipments of any plants of the Myrtaceae or Myrtle family, which includes eucalyptus and guava as well as ohia, which are endemic to Hawaii, and ohia-ai or mountain apple, which is Polynesian introduced.According to Department of Agriculture information officer Janelle Saneishi, the state Plant Quarantine Division has notified Hawaii florists that any Myr... http://the.honoluluadvertiser.com/article/2007/Sep/06/br/br8430721956.html
